Mechanical Engineer Electronic Warfare (All Genders)

About Us

Your mission

Responsibilities

• Package and integrate complex EW hardware, antennas, and RF payloads into autonomous loitering munition systems.

• Collaborate with in-house industrial design and EW experts to balance high-level aesthetic and functional design with rugged defense requirements.

• Get hands-on with the validation process - quickly designing fixtures and executing testing inside advanced chambers (thermal, vibration, and environmental shock).

• Use FEA and CFD as practical tools to solve thermal dissipation and high-g load challenges efficiently.

• Partner closely with RF and software teams to rapidly iterate on mechanical constraints and real-time mission requirements.

• Move fast from initial CAD modeling through rapid prototyping to manufacturing handoff.

Qualifications

• A history of successfully solving a variety of mechanical packaging and thermal challenges quickly, rather than dedicating years to a single project.

• High proficiency in modern 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, NX, or Creo) and practical simulation tools for FEA/CFD.

• Experience packaging ruggedised electronics or payloads into weight-critical, high-vibration platforms (UAVs, robotics, or aerospace).

• Hands-on experience preparing hardware for environmental testing and adjusting designs based on quick test results.

• Ability to collaborate clearly and move projects forward seamlessly with RF and software teams.

Relevant Backgrounds

• Aerospace, UAV, or robotics structural and mechanical design.

• Enclosure design for ruggedised electronics, RF front-ends, or Software-Defined Radios (SDRs).

• Fast-paced hardware prototyping environments.

Nice to have

• Understanding of how mechanical material selection impacts RF transparency and EMI/EMC.

• Experience with composite materials and lightweight manufacturing techniques.

• Familiarity with environmental qualification concepts (e.g., MIL-STD-810).
