Mobile Radar Mechanical Design Engineer

Employer description

Leidos’ Defense Systems Mechanical Design & Analysis Department is seeking a Mobile Radar Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team in Huntsville Alabama designing the next generation of sensors to protect America and its allies. You will perform mechanical design of the Army Long-range Persistent Surveillance-Mobile (ALPS-M) product.

As a member of the design team, you will use SolidWorks CAD software and Windchill PLM software daily to turn ideas into designs. Then you’ll work alongside the production team to turn your designs into hardware. You might be asked to help integrate and install the hardware, and then you’ll work with the testing team to put your hardware into action.

This role requires a strong technical contributor and leader, proficient in applying technical principles, theories, and concepts in mechanical engineering, structural design, electronics enclosure design, and thermal management.  You will be responsible for developing and proving out solutions to technical problems and issues that may be difficult or unclear while collaborating with other members of the design, systems, manufacturing, and structural, and thermal analysis teams.  This person must take ownership of their assigned tasks - driving solutions to meet technical requirements while meeting aggressive schedules.

This is not your average engineering position. You will work on a team of the most talented engineers in the region who push you to be better every day. This is a fast-paced program with unique technical challenges that will be a rewarding milestone in any engineering career. If you are up for the challenge of joining this team, then apply today to be considered.
