Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Electro Mechanical Design Engineer to develop innovative design concepts and provide electromechanical production support across defense programs. This role offers the possibility of converting to a full-time employee.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Development: Design and develop electromechanical systems and components, including circuit card assemblies (CCAs), harness assemblies, electronic enclosures, and sub-assemblies.

• Layouts & Modeling: Generate detailed mechanical layouts, 3D models, and engineering drawings, including material, component, and process selections. Design and model wiring harnesses using Zuken and produce complete Bills of Material (BOM).

• Routing & Testing: Create model-based routing and layout packages meeting size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints. Define acceptance test criteria, perform verification testing, and document results in Windchill.

• Configuration & Support: Execute Material Review Board (MRB) actions, update engineering change records, and maintain configuration control. Provide technical support during design releases, assembly, inspection, and test phases.

• Collaboration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams including structural/thermal analysts, configuration management, electrical/mechanical designers, subcontracts, planning, and quality personnel. Participate in major program design reviews (PDR, CDR).

Basic Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related STEM field from an accredited university; Master’s degree or PhD preferred. (Note: Can accept candidates without a degree if they have >15 years of relevant experience).

• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in Electromechanical Engineering or a related discipline.

• Core Technical Skills:

  • Proficient in CREO modeling and electromechanical system design.

  • Proficient with CCA/PWB, cable/harness design and development, and electronic packaging design.

  • Experience with Zuken E3 and Windchill.

  • Proven understanding of electronics/mechanical standards, electronic packaging principles, and parts/materials selections.

  • Ability to perform design trade studies evaluating cost, weight, packaging, and power benefits.

  • Flex circuit and microelectronics design experience.

• Leadership & Project Management: Technical or project leadership experience supporting the production of high-reliability electronics products and managing the engineering/production lifecycle (scoping, sizing, cost estimation, planning, scheduling, staffing, tracking, and Earned Value Management / EVM).

• Security Clearance: Must possess or be able to obtain a DoD Secret security clearance (highly desired if contractor already holds clearance at time of submittal). Role requires access to ECI information.
