Responsibilities

• Lead a team designing complex electro-mechanical solutions for flight critical avionics systems, including packaging, electrical interconnects, thermal management, and integration into the X-BAT aircraft.
• Drive structural, thermal, and modal analyses for electromechanical systems to ensure survivability in harsh environments.
• Work cross-functionally with electrical engineering, supply chain, supplier development engineering, manufacturing, and other mechanical engineering teams.
• Ensure avionics meet performance, safety, environmental, and EMI/EMC compliance standards on a path to airworthiness certification.
• Lead by example, owning work from design, verification, and through production.

Requirements

• B.S. in Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering.
• 10+ years of experience in mechanical & electrical equipment design for aerospace, including harness integration and mechanical component design.
• Expertise in CAD software (NX, SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar) for 3D modeling, drawing creation, and system layout.
• Familiarity with eCAD software (Altium, Cadence, Allegro), and harness design software (Capital, Zuken).
• Experience working with electrical engineers to define PCB constraints, develop circuit cards, and manage mechanical interfaces.
• Experience with finite element analysis (FEA), thermal analysis, and fatigue/lifecycle testing.
• Experience working directly with fabrication shops, contract manufacturers, and suppliers.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, agile development environment with evolving priorities.
