Job summary

Aeon is seeking a Senior Mechatronics Engineer to own electromechanical subsystems on our tactical missile platform in Austin, TX. You will mature existing actuation hardware into a qualified, producible design and then lead new, clean-sheet electromechanical work for future programs.

You will size motors and drivetrains, design interfaces, build test stands, and drive manufacturability with our shop and suppliers to enable mass production at target costs.

Qualifications

• 7+ years designing electromechanical actuation hardware that shipped.
• Strong grounding in servo and motion control fundamentals, including the ability to size a motor and drivetrain and defend the numbers.
• Experience carrying a design through qualification and into production, not just through first article.
• Hands‑on test experience: instrumentation, DAQ, and debugging hardware that misbehaves.
• Comfort working from incomplete requirements and setting your own priorities.
• CAD and PLM fluency (NX and Teamcenter preferred).
• Missile, munitions, UAS, robotics, or automotive actuation background.
• Must be a U.S. person under ITAR.

Responsibilities

• Mature existing control actuation hardware from prototype to qualified, producible design.
• Own the mechanical to electrical interface: packaging, connectors, harnessing, and sensor integration.
• Design and build test infrastructure; use telemetry to characterize precision, bandwidth, stiffness, and thermal margin.
• Run qualification: vibration, shock, thermal, and life testing with plans and reports.
• Drive design for manufacturability with machine shop and supply chain for scalable production.
• Lead clean sheet electromechanical design on new programs.
