Requirements
- BS in Mechanical Engineering and 1-3 years of related experience or equivalent combination of education, skills, and experience.
- Proficient use of computer-aided design and analysis software, with SolidWorks strongly preferred.
- Familiarity with use of and preparation of CAD models for use in FEA software for thermal and structural (shock and vibration) analysis
- Familiarity with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) methodologies, with experience applying these principles to improve product quality and manufacturability.
- Experience with rapid prototyping (3D printing, laser cutting, etc) and/or machining
- Strong hands-on skills, able to assemble hardware unsupervised in a lab setting
- Must be a US Citizen.
Responsibilities
- Under limited direction design the packaging for complex subsystems with optical, photonic, optoelectronic, electrical, and mechanical elements for R&D and production programs for U.S. government customers.
- Produce build-to drawings and data packages and collaborate with and manage 3rd party vendors to resolve specification, performance, and reliability issues and realize the commercial and custom-machined parts necessary to build the subsystem.
- Support the effort to transition the design into limited volume production, including development of assembly processes and writing of build procedures.
- Collaborate with hardware designers to jointly optimize circuit card layout with special attention to thermal performance and mitigation.
- Influence other technical staff through explanation of facts, policies and practices.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with complex subsystems containing optical, photonic, optoelectronic, electrical, and mechanical elements
- Experience with gimbal systems or other precision motion control mechanisms, including design, integration, and optimization for applications in optical systems or robotics
- Experience in the design of hardware to military and space design standards and manufacturing processes.
- Experience in environmental testing to MIL-STD or equivalent industrial test levels, including shock, vibration, thermal, and EMI/EMC.
- Experience in optical and electronic subassembly layout including board physical design, chassis or enclosure design, optical fiber routing, and electrical and optical connector selection.
