Mechanical/Electrical Engineer

Peerless is searching for a skilled Engineer Mechanical/Electrical (ME/EE) to support designing and engineering advanced solutions for DoD/DoW. The selected candidate will contribute to the design, development, integration, and testing of complex mechanical and electrical systems supporting defense research, prototyping, and specialized test infrastructure. The Engineer ME/EE will participate in multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop mechanical solutions supporting mission systems, facilities, and prototype hardware. Responsibilities include carrying designs through the full engineering lifecycle-from concept development and analysis through fabrication, integration, and testing. This position is on-site at Peerless Headquarters near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB).
