About the role
- You will work alongside our Principal Mechanical Engineer.
- We do not have the headcount yet to split airframe, mechanisms, GSE, and launcher across separate engineers, and we are not trying to.
- The right person reaches across all of it, makes the calls that need making, and pulls in deeper analysis or outside help where the problem warrants it.
Responsibilities
- Design and build the launcher and the ground equipment the program runs on: handling fixtures, transport cradles, environmental enclosures, and the systems that mate the vehicle to the rail.
- Run vehicle integration, environmental test, and ground and flight test campaigns. Reduce data, close out anomalies, and feed the lessons back into the design.
- Coordinate with aero on outer mold line implementation, with propulsion on case and nozzle integration, with avionics on tray and harness routing, with the seeker team on optical-package interfaces, and with the Control Actuation System Engineer on fin actuator integration into the airframe: hinge supports, OML cutouts, and sealing.
- 10+ years of hands-on mechanical design of flight structures or similarly mission critical systems.
- Fluency in metallic or composite design, analysis, and manufacturing.
Requirements
- Proficiency with GD&T and a strong eye for manufacturability in part design.
- Clearance: A clearance is not required for this position.
- Must be a U.S. Person.
Skills
- B.S. in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related engineering. M.S. welcome.
- Hands-on builder posture. Comfortable on the shop floor, at a test stand, and at a vendor.
- Excellent cross disciplinary communication skills.
- U.S. Person, eligible to obtain a U.S. SECRET security clearance.
- Tactical missile, munition, or interceptor program experience.
- Launcher, canister, or launch-tube design experience.
- GSE and handling-equipment design at any scale.
- Hands-on safety record working with energetic and hazardous materials.
Compensation
- America is critically deficient in production of defensive munitions- we currently produce shipborne interceptors in the few hundreds per year while our adversaries are producing offensive threats in the tens of thousands per year.
Company info
- Engineering owns the missile as a physical object from design through flight:
- structures, mechanical integration of the full subsystem stack, and the build.
Visa & Work Authorization
- U.S. Person, eligible to obtain a U
