Mechanical Engineer III

The Mechanical Engineer III designs and develops electromechanical assemblies for radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC) devices, from initial concept through detailed design, verification, production release, and manufacturing support. This role uses SolidWorks and ANSYS Mechanical to develop and evaluate designs and provides technical guidance, mentoring, and design review support to other engineers. 

• Develop mechanical concepts and detailed designs for electromechanical assemblies used in RF and DC devices, including housings, component mounting, mechanical interfaces, and thermal management features
• Provide technical support from concept and prototyping through verification, production release, and manufacturing support; work with electrical and RF engineers to define packaging and interface requirements and resolve integration issues
• Provide technical guidance to other engineers and review designs, drawings, and analyses for accuracy and completeness
• Develop new product designs and test fixtures for manufacturability and ease of assembly. Select appropriate materials and manufacturing processes. Support prototype builds, testing, and corrective design changes
• Use SolidWorks to create and maintain 3D part and assembly models, production drawings, bills of materials, and engineering documentation packages, including appropriate geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
• Support mechanical design reviews; present design approaches, calculations, analyses, drawings, and tradeoffs to demonstrate compliance with specifications, project objectives, and standards
• Collaborate with other engineering disciplines, customers, and suppliers to resolve technical and production issues and communicate engineering findings
• Perform structural and thermal analyses, supported by engineering calculations and tolerance analyses, to evaluate performance and guide design decisions
   

• Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Related Field of Study
• Minimum five (5) years of experience in a specialized functional discipline.
  • OR (9) years of experience may be considered in lieu of a Bachelors Degree.
  • OR (3) years of experience may be considered w/ a Masters Degree.
• Ability to obtain and/or maintain a Security Clearance
• Experience in the design of electronic or electromechanical products from concept through production is preferred
• Experience with SolidWorks and ANSYS Mechanical is preferred
• Experience with mechanical assemblies for RF and DC devices, including packaging, thermal management, and mechanical and electrical interfaces, is preferred
