Who are we looking for?
We are looking to hire a Mechanical Engineer who wants to get involved with a fast-paced and dynamic company. As a Mechanical Engineer at Spectranetix, you will be involved in mechanical design and packaging of high-speed circuit boards and systems that have tough requirements in thermal management including air and conduction cooling, EMI and RFI shielding, compact and rugged packaging constraints dealing with various MIL-STD environmental demands from ground based to airborne. These are complex mechanical modules with associated cable harnesses, related test fixtures, all with tight tolerances to support seamless system assembly, test, configuration, operation and servicing. You will work closely with a cross-domain team including RF and Digital engineers, systems engineers, test engineers, software engineers, manufacturing engineers to ensure successful development. The ability to dive deep into technical issues to identify solutions and keep other teams moving is crucial to success in this role. Developing strong credibility and rapport with other engineering and non-technical teams is also a must.
Requirements
You’ll Bring These Qualifications:
- Ability to translate, statistically analyze data, and effectively report problems through written and/or graphical formats.
- Proficiency in Solidworks/Creo for 3D Modeling, experience with Product Life Cycle Management tools (Arena PLM), and Engineering Change (ECN/ECR) Process.
- Proficiency in making 2D drawing and application of Geometric Dimensioning amp; Tolerancing (GDamp;T) required.
- Thermal modeling, simulation, and verification ability required.
- Proficiency in MS Office tools (Excel, Word, Power Point, Visio amp; Outlook).
- Ability to organize work effectively and having a systematic approach in problem solving in a dynamic work environment.
These Qualifications Would be Nice to Have:
- Current/active security clearance.
- Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation.
- Experience with VPX/OpenVPX/VME/CPCI/rackmount or equivalent style chassis and PCBA enclosures.
- Hands-on experience and knowledge of machining and fabrication techniques.
- Understanding of VITA 46, VITA 48, MIL-STD-810H, and other MIL-STDs.
What You’ll Get to Do:
- Evaluate system requirements and devise hardware-based solutions to implement those requirements.
- Capture design requirements and lead mechanical design effort working with Systems Engineers, RF and Digital Engineers and other staff in the design effort.
- Produce and archive all necessary documentation for the design to ensure manufacturability Performs tolerance analysis at system and subsystem level
- Perform analytical analysis for thermal and structural components and sub-modules.
- Assists in a project plan including key deliverables, timeline, and budget.
- Works with other Engineers and CAD Designers for prototype and pilot detailed design.
- Supports driving full documentation of design including, BOM, drawings, and procedures.
- Responsible for the research and selection of new suppliers with potential for turn-key provision of key subsystems.
- Responsible for providing technical expertise in the core technology area of the potential suppliers to reveal best design path and performance.
- Interacts closely with development engineers, scientists, suppliers, manufacturing and QA to resolve quality issues.
Education
- BS in Mechanical Engineering
About Us
Spectranetix is a small fast-growing company that develops and provides advanced multi-function RF systems for the U.S. Department of Defense. We design and build advanced, military standards-based, modular open systems architecture (MOSA) systems. These systems conform to the Army's C5ISR Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) and the Air Force's Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Standard. These CMOSS /SOSA systems are used for multi-mission electronic warfare, tactical communications, signals intelligence, cyber-EW, high performance computing and often simultaneous operation of these capabilities.
Our parent company, Pacific Defense is focused on supporting the DoD’s disciplined movement to modular open standards and to mirror the way military services address EMS warfare holistic mission planning and execution. Products are designed from the outset for modern, AI-driven autonomy and CMOSS and SOSA-aligned hardware and software solutions.Focus areas include autonomous system
