Job description

Standard Job Description

The Electromagnetics Hardware Design & Fab team supports the Signature Mgmt & Survivability Org by providing hardware design, fabrication, and testing of LO apertures and RCS test fixtures. This includes RF components, antennas, radomes, support structures, composite/metallic component/structures, and full scale RCS/RF test fixtures. The candidate is to work design and fab of hardware in mostly a research and development environment with some production efforts. The candidate could be deployed to ADP or production programs, with mostly in a classified program, supporting a mix of flight and non-flight hardware. The mechanical engineer works closely with electrical engineers in RF designs as well as other disciplines (M&P, stress, EEE) to produce novel RF and RCS solutions for platforms. The successful candidate is a strong mechanical engineer who can drive challenging interdisciplinary problems from clean sheet design to fab, to test of hardware. Performing under tight schedules, the candidate needs to be a strong communicator and have strong project management skills.
