JOB SUMMARY:

The W93 Systems Development and Realization group is looking for an experienced mechanical designer to join our team as a checker of design definition. The position requires a range of expertise in 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD), hardware design, fabrication, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), and engineering concepts. May also be expected to guide teams consisting of staff from diverse backgrounds through design iterations to address potential engineering defects. Completed work is reviewed from the expectation of expert results without appreciable direction. Involved with technical solutions to complex and/or unique problems, which require the regular use of ingenuity, creativity and independence. Solutions are frequently original and impact the outcome of the entire project. May be asked to mentor junior staff on the details of models-based definition and GD&T.

This is an opportunity to be part of the first new weapon system program in over 30 years. Q-20, W93/Mk7 Systems Development and Realization Group, defines, develops, and fields the warhead system for the newest Navy sub-launched ballistic missile weapon program. We support the DoD/Navy SSP and DoE/NNSA customers in defining the mission need and corresponding technical and programmatic requirements. The W93 collaborates closely with Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and Lockheed Martin Space design agencies, developing the re-entry system, ensuring safe, secure, & reliable warhead performance and a relevant nuclear deterrent. Q-20 also incorporates the production agency teams (KCNSC, Pantex, SRS, Y-12, LANL, and SNL) tightly into the design, qualification, and realization processes.
