Mechanical Engineering Graduate

We are seeking an R&D Mechanical Engineer to join our dynamic team! We are responsible for the design, development, testing, and qualification of multiple telemetry products across the ND portfolio. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will contribute to the mechanical design, conduct full product environmental testing, and verify requirements in support of qualification and product delivery. Your role will also include fixture development, documentation, hardware assembly, and managing fabrication processes. Our telemetry units are highly integrated electro-mechanical designs that must operate effectively in severe environments. Success in this role requires the ability to collaborate with a multi-faceted engineering team. Mechanical Testing (Shock, Vibration, Temperature, Pressure, Humidity) and data analysis

Strong design skills in CAD (CREO preferred)

Experience designing for multiple manufacturing processes including machined aluminum, sheet metal and 3D printing (FDM)

Demonstrated strong documentation related to product development within a quality management system

Collaborate with stakeholders to understand and document system needs and requirements for Telemetry hardware

Work with a cross-functional team to establish long-term visions and short-term priorities for the mechanical engineering team

Utilize critical thinking to troubleshoot both mechanical and electromechanical issues, providing solutions within programmatic constraints

Engage in hands-on work with the Telemetry product through fabrication and testing activities

Perform and analyze fine element analysis (FEA) simulations for stress, strain, modal and thermal environments

Work with vendors and buyers to procure development parts

The position requires an ability to travel up to 25% to support the mission

Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite 100% of the time at the Livermore, CA facility

A Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline and five (5) years of directly relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of directly relevant education and engineering or scientific experience that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and ability to perform independent research and development

Demonstrated experience with Creo, Solidworks, or similar MCAD design tool

Demonstrated experience developing or executing procedures associated with high value hardware (flight, customer deliverable, production)

Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q security clearance

Graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering or a highly related field where an independent research project was a graduation requirement (e.g., independent project, thesis, or dissertation)

Experience with mechanical engineering and product realization in the NNSA complex

Demonstrated breadth of knowledge in Mechanical Engineering and other engineering fields through school projects or work experience

Demonstrated experience drafting drawings using GD&T per ANSI Y14.Active DOE Q-Level Security Clearance or other transferable U.Understanding of nuclear weapons and Joint Test Assembly design principles

Demonstrated experience designing, testing, or fabricating aerospace hardware

Demonstrated experience with testing in the following fields or similar: vibration, shock, thermal, vacuum, centrifuge

If you have a Medical Portable Electronic Device (MedPED), such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, drug-releasing pump, hearing aids, or diagnostic equipment and other equipment for measuring, monitoring, and recording body functions such as heartbeat and brain waves, if employed by Sub-contractor you may be required to comply with NNSA security requirements for MedPEDs

If you have a MedPED and you are selected for an on-site interview at Sub-contractor, there may be additional steps necessary to ensure compliance with NNSA security requirements prior to the interview date

On-Site

Regular - The company offers a comprehensive benefits program, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) and a range of other voluntary benefits. Paid Time Off (PTO) is offered to regular full-time and part-time employees.
