Mechanical Design Engineer

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled Mechanical Design Engineer to join our Radar Systems team. You will be responsible for the end-to-end mechanical design and integration of radar subsystems and enclosures. The role is critical to ensuring structural integrity, thermal performance, environmental compliance, and manufacturability of complex radar systems deployed in airborne, naval, or ground-based platforms.

Key Responsibilites

• Design and develop mechanical components, structures, and enclosures for radar systems, including RF shielding and modular electronics packaging.
• Work closelywith electrical, RF, and systemengineers to ensuretight integration of mechanical and electronic components.
• Conduct thermal,structural, and vibrationanalysis (FEA/CFD) to meet militaryand industrial environmental standards (MIL-STD, IPxx, DO-160).
• Generate detailed3D CAD models, manufacturing drawings,and BOMs using tools like SolidWorks, Creo, or Siemens NX.
• Drive DFM/DFAconsiderations from conceptto production for in-house or vendor-based manufacturing.
• Evaluate materials for EMI/EMC shielding, thermal management, and weight reduction.
• Oversee mechanical prototyping, environmental testing, and qualification activities.
• Interface with suppliers and fabrication partnersto ensure timely delivery of high-quality components.
• Contribute to technical documentation, compliance reviews, and internal design reviews.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors or Mastersdegree in Mechanical Engineering or relatedfield.
• 0-2 years of experience in mechanical design for aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronics systems.
• Proficient in 3D CAD software(SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent).
• Hands-on experience with FEA tools(ANSYS, Abaqus) and thermal simulation (FloTHERM, Icepak).
• Knowledge of radar systems, RF enclosures, and EMI/EMC best practices.
• Familiarity with IP, MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-461, or similar ruggedization standards.
• Strong understanding of materials engineering for harsh environments (aluminum alloys, composites, thermal interfaces).
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with airborne,naval & ground radar systems or similar rugged embedded platforms.
• Knowledge of radarcooling systems (conduction, forced air, liquidcooling).
• Exposure to additive manufacturing or advanced composites.
• Experience in GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis.
