Mechanical Engineer I - Electrical Packaging & Structures

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Design and iterate electronics packaging: structural frames, enclosures, trays, brackets, stiffeners, mounts, cable/connector access, and serviceability features.
• Partner with EE teams to define mechanical interfaces for PCBs, harnessing, connectors, and LRU-style modules; maintain ICDs and drawing packages.
• Perform first-order thermal and structural assessments (load paths, stiffness, margin checks) and support deeper analysis as needed.
• Produce detailed CAD, drawings, and release packages (BOMs, tolerances, notes, finish/corrosion requirements) and support manufacturing through build.
• Support integration: fit checks, bench bring-up, vibration/handling events, and design updates based on test findings.
• Contribute to lightweight, repeatable engineering processes: checklists, standards, and design reviews that keep us moving fast while staying rigorous.

Job requirements

• BS in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
• Ability to size structural components with solid first principles understanding of load path
• Comfortable in CAD and producing drawings for fabrication and assembly.
• Familiar with electronics packaging constraints (mounting, cooling, vibration/shock, grounding/EMI considerations, connector/harness strain relief).
• Practical problem solver who enjoys being close to hardware (lab, integration bay, shipboard environment).
• Clear communicator who collaborates across mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing stakeholders.
