Hardware / mechanical engineering

SNC’s Military Fellowship Program partners with programs such as SkillBridge and Hiring Our Heroes to provide fellowship opportunities to service members transitioning to the civilian workforce. These fellowships include up to six months of on‑the‑job industry training for eligible service members. During this time, participants gain valuable work experience in the civilian sector and build professional networks as they prepare for their transition to full‑time civilian work.

NOTE: You must be currently serving on active duty to be eligible for this fellowship program. This program is not for veterans who have already separated from the military.

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, development, testing, and certification of complex mechanical systems for aerospace and defense applications. You will work closely with cross‑functional teams to ensure that mechanical designs meet stringent performance and quality standards.

The ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance), Aviation, and Security (IAS) business area is a leader in ISR and aviation and a leading prime manned and unmanned aircraft systems integrator for innovative, high‑performance ISR and aviation systems.

Design and develop mechanical components and systems for aerospace and defense applications.

Conduct detailed analyses and simulations to validate and optimize designs.

Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate mechanical designs into overall systems.

Ensure designs meet industry standards and regulatory requirements.
