Mechanical Engineering Sr. Manager - Avionics
Lead a team of mechanical engineers designing electro-mechanical avionics systems for next-generation autonomous UAVs, including packaging, thermal management, and integration into the X-BAT aircraft. Requires 10+ years aerospace mechanical/electrical design experience and CAD/FEA expertise.
What you'll do
- Lead a team designing complex electro-mechanical solutions for flight critical avionics systems. This includes packaging, electrical interconnects, thermal management, and integration of designs 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 long-term path to airworthiness certification
- Lead by example - own work from design, verification, and through production
Required qualifications
- 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 care for all the 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
- A demonstrated record of working hard, being trustworthy, holding yourself to high standards, and being kind to others
- Ability to obtain a S//SAR level security clearance desired
