  • Confidence in a solution and steering customers towards best results
  • Ability to obtain a U.S. DoD Top Secret Security Clearance

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will:

  • Work independently with general supervision to develop designs and identify critical performance characteristics.

  • Work across SDG BU's with other engineers to ensure system designs are adequate and mechanical solutions will meet the warfighters needs.
  • Support new programs through trade studies, concept development, proposal responses, and customer presentations.
  • Provide solutions that balance a broad range of issues backed by sound engineering judgment.
  • Support NRE estimates for proposals and provide technical insight to test plans/verification/validation.
  • Provide support to a Systems Engineering team working on actuation technology and integration of actuation systems.
