Associate Mechanical Engineering Manager – Communication Systems

Location: Westminster, Colorado
Employment Type: Full-time | On-site

EVONA is partnering with an innovative space and defense technology company developing advanced communication systems for satellites, aircraft, ground platforms and other mission-critical applications.

We are seeking an Associate Mechanical Engineering Manager to join their Communication Systems team in Westminster, Colorado.

This is an excellent opportunity for a strong Mechanical Engineer or Technical Lead ready to take the next step into engineering management. You’ll lead and mentor a team of Mechanical Engineers while remaining hands-on with the design and development of advanced phased array antennas, ruggedized electronics and communication hardware.

The team is working across programs ranging from high-power ground terminals for defense applications to airborne connectivity systems.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead, mentor and develop a team of Mechanical Engineers.

• Support hiring, onboarding, resource planning and engineering development.

• Remain hands-on as a senior technical contributor on critical hardware programs.

• Lead mechanical design and architecture for ruggedized electronics and communication systems.

• Support products from concept and detailed design through manufacturing, integration, qualification and production.

• Work on PCBA-level and system-level electronics packaging.

• Support structural and thermal analysis.

• Drive design reviews and improve mechanical engineering processes and standards.

• Support environmental qualification including vibration, shock, temperature, humidity and other ruggedized testing.

• Collaborate closely with RF, Electrical, Systems, Manufacturing, Quality, Test and Supply Chain teams.

• Support customer technical discussions and program execution.

What We’re Looking For

• BS degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.

• Approximately 4–7+ years of mechanical engineering experience within aerospace, defense, communications or ruggedized electronics.

• Previous leadership experience as a Technical Lead, Responsible Engineer, IPT Lead, Project Lead or Engineering Manager.

• Strong experience designing electronics packaging and electromechanical hardware.

• Experience with SolidWorks and ideally SolidWorks PDM.

• Experience with ANSYS Mechanical, SolidWorks Simulation or similar FEA tools.

• Understanding of manufacturing methods including CNC machining, sheet metal, castings, bonded assemblies and additive manufacturing.

• Experience taking hardware through the complete product development lifecycle.

• Exposure to environmental qualification standards such as MIL-STD-810 and/or RTCA DO-160.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work across multiple engineering disciplines.

Particularly Interesting Backgrounds

Experience with any of the following would be highly valuable:

Phased Array / AESA Antennas | RF Electronics Packaging | SATCOM | Avionics | Tactical Communications | Defense Electronics | EMI/EMC | Ruggedized Electronics

Why This Role?

This isn't a position where you'll leave engineering behind to become a full-time people manager.

You'll have the opportunity to build and develop a mechanical engineering team while continuing to solve challenging technical problems yourself, working on sophisticated communication hardware designed for demanding aerospace and defense environments.

Location: Westminster, CO – On-site.
