BAE Systems is seeking a proactive Sr. Principal Mechanical Engineer with analytical capabilities and demonstrated technical expertise. This individual will provide leadership and support to the design, development, integration/test, and production of dynamic optomechanical military systems. The engineer will work closely with hardware integrated into a variety of complex IR technology products including lasers, receivers, sensors, as well as multi-axis beam directors/gimbals. The individual must be a self-starter and is desired to have development experience working with integrated military electronic hardware and related test equipment.
The selected candidate will execute both individually and in small to large team environments through all phases of the product life cycle. This includes concept development, detail design, qualification, manufacturing transition, and production support. The engineer will be responsible for developing innovative and robust hardware solutions to meet demanding customer requirements, and will leverage their mechanical engineering expertise to perform detailed design and analyses. Day to day, activities may include working with 3D solid models, drawings, and documentation utilizing GD&T principles; performing analyses to assure fit & function; performing thermal, structural/stress, and vibration analyses; assessing designs against environmental requirements; as well as conducting test and verification efforts.
With a product focus, the individual will actively partner with other engineering disciplines and operations personnel to develop solutions that adhere to UPC, DFT, and DFM requirements. Additionally, the engineer will support resolution of technical issues that are discovered during manufacture and test of deliverable hardware. This may include evaluating and troubleshooting mechanical faults and issues, assessing test failures for root cause, identifying disposition/corrective actions, as well as designing test equipment to ensure the performance and integrity of manufactured products.
This engineering role will provide rewarding challenges and exposure to experiences including:
- Design and development of IR technology hardware and systems
- Optomechanical design & analysis
- Design and development of motion systems including motors, encoders, bearings, seals
- Product/Factory Support of DoD military electronics/avionics equipment
- State-of-the-art mechanical engineering design and development tools
- Design and analysis of multilayer CCAs
- Prototype & test activities utilizing a fully equipped environmental test facility
- “Hands-on” laboratory experience with instrumentation, equipment, and processes
The ideal candidate will thrive in a learning environment that encourages leadership, technical, and career growth.
Because this role involves a combination of collaborative/in-person and independent work, it will take the form of a Hybrid Work Format, with time split between working onsite and remotely.
