About the role
Electromechanical Integration Engineer responsible for mechanical packaging, interconnect architecture, and structural integration of avionics, power systems, and electro-optical payloads across Group 5 aircrafts and high-speed missiles, guiding full development lifecycle from concept to flight operations with a focus on SWaP-C.
Responsibilities
- Design flight-critical enclosures, chassis, and mechanical packaging for high-density circuit card assemblies, battery systems, electro-optical payloads, and cable/harness assemblies.
- Collaborate with electrical engineers to inform PCBA layout, define connector configurations, manage keep-out zones, route harnesses, and establish thermal and grounding interfaces.
- Create detailed 3D models, drawing packages, and GD&T and tolerance stack-up analyses to optimize for assembly, serviceability, and high-yield manufacturing.
- Conduct hand calculations and structural FEA, coordinating with thermal and fatigue analysts to validate performance before hardware realization.
- Design hardware to survive aerospace environments—vibration, shock, thermal extremes, moisture, EMI/EMC—meeting MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-464/461, and DO-160.
- Lead root-cause investigations and corrective actions for mechanical, environmental, or manufacturing anomalies found during qualification or flight operations.
- Support design reviews (PDR/CDR) and drive execution of engineering deliverables across distributed, cross-functional teams including systems, hardware, software, manufacturing, test, and supply chain.
Qualifications
- B.S. or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 4+ years of experience in electronics packaging and/or electromechanical systems design in aerospace, defense, automotive, or robotics.
- Direct experience designing hardware to MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-464/461 environmental and EMI/EMC standards.
- Proficiency with 3D CAD (Siemens NX, SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar) for complex surface modeling, enclosure packaging, and harness routing.
- Understanding of advanced manufacturing processes including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, casting, injection molding, and 3D printing, with hands-on prototyping experience.
- Strong communication, collaboration, and teamwork skills across multi-site, multi-disciplinary teams.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
