Job Description

Job Description

The Systems / Mechanical Engineer will serve as a technical lead and subject matter expert supporting the evaluation, definition, design, manufacture, and verification of complex mechanical systems, including nuclear and other high‑consequence applications. This role supports both commercial and U.S. Government customers and emphasizes end‑to‑end lifecycle execution—from requirements development through manufacture, test, and validation.

The position includes responsibilities in systems engineering, mechanical design, thermal and structural analysis, engineering trade studies, subsystem integration, and close collaboration with manufacturing and quality organizations. The engineer will employ Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) as a disciplined approach to capturing, decomposing, and managing requirements, defining system architectures and interfaces, and maintaining end‑to‑end traceability across the product lifecycle.

The engineer will develop, manage, and decompose system and subsystem requirements; establish verification and validation requirements using Test, Analysis, Demonstration, and Inspection (TADI) methods; and prepare design and procurement specifications. The role also includes preparing technical presentations; conducting system requirements reviews, design reviews, manufacturing readiness reviews, and test readiness reviews; and briefing customers, senior and mid‑level leadership, and cross‑functional stakeholders.

The successful candidate will be capable of clearly communicating technical concepts and program status to engineering, manufacturing, test, quality assurance, and business office personnel, and of presenting well‑reasoned technical recommendations to internal and external stakeholders.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in an accredited engineering discipline (Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field)
• 5–12 years of relevant experience in systems engineering and/or mechanical engineering supporting complex hardware programs
• Demonstrated ability to develop, manage, and decompose system and subsystem requirements
• Experience developing and managing verification and validation requirements, including TADI (Test, Analysis, Demonstration, and Inspection) methods
• Experience preparing and reviewing design specifications and procurement specifications
• Ability to prepare technical presentations and conduct system requirements, design, manufacturing readiness, and test readiness reviews
• Experience briefing customers, senior and mid‑level leadership, and cross‑functional teams
• Experience supporting regulated, safety‑critical, or high‑consequence engineering programs
• Strong background in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and/or Design for Assembly (DFA)
• Experience working directly with engineering, manufacturing, test, quality assurance, and suppliers
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to work across multidisciplinary teams
• Experience supporting commercial and/or U.S. Government customer programs
• Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance
• Experience with ASME codes and/or NQA‑1 quality programs is a strong plus, but not a requirement
