The Mechanical Engineering Group provides innovative mechanical design solutions for advanced technology prototypes utilizing state-of-the-art design techniques, materials and fabrication processes. The group works on a wide variety of prototype development efforts that span multiple Laboratory mission areas and various equipment platforms, including ground, maritime, airborne, and spaceborne. Areas of expertise include large structures, highly efficient lightweight structures, mechanisms, precision engineering, opto-mechanics, electronics packaging, electrical interconnection design, and dynamic characterization of structures. Engineers from the group are critical to all aspects of prototype development beginning with conceptual design, continuing through detail design, system integration and test, and concluding with environmental performance testing. The group is the Engineering Division's center for 3D computer-aided design, mechanical design tools, design methodologies, and design data knowledge management for enabling robust prototype development and efficient project execution. Example projects include airborne and space-based laser communications systems, high energy laser systems, space optical payloads, biological agent detectors and identifiers, and large radar antenna systems.

Position: Assistant Staff - Engineer

The successful candidate will work as part of a multidisciplinary team to provide support for the mechanical design, analysis and testing of complex mechanical, opto-mechanical and electro-mechanical systems.
