Job summary

Rune Technologies builds mission-critical hardware for military logistics and sustainment. We seek a hands-on Electromechanical Engineer who can design, build, test, and manufacture rugged physical systems, moving concepts into repeatable hardware ready for field use.

You will work across CAD, schematics, shop, suppliers, and field environments to deliver hardware that meets demanding military requirements and standards.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Experience designing, building, and testing electromechanical products.
• Strong mechanical design fundamentals.
• Experience integrating sensors, electronics, power, wiring, connectors, and other electrical components.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD, engineering drawings, tolerancing, and manufacturing documentation.
• Demonstrated experience applying DFM/DFA to move hardware from prototype toward repeatable production.
• Hands‑on prototyping and fabrication experience.
• Ability to read mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and component datasheets.
• Experience troubleshooting failures across mechanical and electrical boundaries.
• Experience designing hardware to applicable engineering standards and translating requirements into design and verification decisions.
• Ability to take an incomplete concept and turn it into working hardware.

Responsibilities

• Own hardware from concept through production.
• Drive physical design, electromechanical integration, prototyping, DFM/DFA, testing, qualification, and manufacturing maturation.
• Take ownership of hardware through the full development lifecycle.
• Design rugged enclosures, mounts, assemblies, packaging, wiring, and mechanical integration.
• Integrate sensors, electronics, power systems, connectors, antennas, and other components.
• Design hardware intended for demanding operational environments.
• Apply DFM/DFA principles to move hardware from prototype toward repeatable production.
• Make design decisions around tolerances, materials, manufacturing processes, assembly, inspection, servicing, cost, and quality.
• Design hardware that can be manufactured, assembled, installed, serviced, and scaled reliably.
• Translate system and engineering requirements into physical design decisions.
• Incorporate applicable military, commercial, safety, environmental, electrical, and mechanical standards.
• Develop appropriate verification and qualification approaches.
• Create and maintain 3D CAD, Engineering drawings, tolerances, BOMs, wiring documentation, assembly documentation, manufacturing documentation.
• Partner directly with suppliers, fabrication shops, and contract manufacturers.
• Select appropriate manufacturing processes.
• Resolve manufacturing and integration issues.
• Transition designs from engineering prototypes into production.
• Personally prototype, fabricate, integrate, troubleshoot, qualify, install, and evaluate hardware.
• Work in the lab and potentially in field environments.
• Diagnose failures across mechanical and electrical boundaries.
