Technical Reviews and Documentation

• Present designs, engineering analyses, and test results during internal and customer reviews.


• Participate in peer reviews, Preliminary Design Reviews (PDRs), and Critical Design Reviews (CDRs).


• Maintain accurate technical documentation, drawings, and design records.


• Support design verification and qualification activities.

Manufacturing and Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, configuration management, suppliers, technicians, and program test teams.


• Support the transition of mechanical designs from prototype to production.


• Address design, manufacturing, integration, and testing issues.


• Coordinate technical activities with internal stakeholders and external partners.

Project and Process Leadership

• Manage complex engineering projects or processes with general oversight.


• Coordinate across functions to gain alignment on operational processes, practices, and procedures.


• Recommend and implement moderate to substantial improvements to engineering systems and processes.


• Contribute to departmental goals, operating plans, and performance results.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree with at least 6 years of relevant experience; or


• Graduate degree with at least 4 years of relevant experience; or


• At least 10 years of relevant experience in lieu of a degree.


• Ability to obtain and maintain Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance.


• Ability to obtain and maintain a favorable polygraph.


• Ability to work on-site in Palm Bay, Florida, or Carlsbad, California.


• Relevant mechanical engineering experience aligned with the design, development, integration, and testing responsibilities of the position.
