We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to help design, develop, fabricate, and test industry-leading radar and multi-sensor technology as a part of an innovative product development team. This role requires a strong understanding of electrical systems, mechanical design/assembly, and the ability to identify and solve complex issues. Some travel will be required to support customer/demo events and to work across different business sites.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the design, development, and assembly of electro-mechanical systems for radar and multi-sensor products using SolidWorks or similar CAD tools.
• Create and modify mechanical components and assemblies utilizing machined parts, sheet metal, and additive manufacturing (3D printing).
• Build, integrate, and test prototype hardware and multi-module systems in a lab and field environment.
• Perform diagnostic testing and troubleshooting of mechanical and basic electrical issues in integrated systems.
• Assist in developing and maintaining assembly procedures, wiring documentation, and build instructions.
• Support component selection, inventory tracking, and procurement for prototypes and test systems.
• Collaborate closely with electrical, firmware, and systems engineers to resolve integration challenges.
• Participate in product testing, customer demonstrations, and field deployments, including limited travel.
• Contribute creative and practical solutions to open-ended engineering problems in a fast-paced development environment.
• Maintain a safe, organized, and efficient lab and fabrication workspace.

Required Skills and Experience:

Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship and may be required to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance in the future.
