Mechanical Engineer I - Electrical Packaging & Structures

Role Summary

We’re seeking a Mechanical Engineer to support electronics packaging and structural design across our vehicle power system. You will work at the intersection of mechanical design, electrical integration, and manufacturing.

What You’ll Do

• Design and iterate electronics packaging: structural frames, enclosures, trays, brackets, stiffeners, mounts, cable/connector access, and serviceability features.
• Partner with EE teams to define mechanical interfaces for PCBs, harnessing, connectors, and LRU-style modules; maintain ICDs and drawing packages.
• Perform first-order thermal and structural assessments (load paths, stiffness, margin checks) and support deeper analysis as needed.
• Produce detailed CAD, drawings, and release packages (BOMs, tolerances, notes, finish/corrosion requirements) and support manufacturing through build.
• Support integration: fit checks, bench bring-up, vibration/handling events, and design updates based on test findings.
• Contribute to lightweight, repeatable engineering processes: checklists, standards, and design reviews that keep us moving fast while staying rigorous.

Who You Are

• BS in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
• Comfortable in CAD and producing drawings for fabrication and assembly
• Familiar with electronics packaging constraints (mounting, cooling, vibration/shock, grounding/EMI considerations, connector/harness strain relief)
• Practical problem solver who enjoys being close to hardware (lab, integration bay, shipboard environment)
• Clear communicator who collaborates across mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing stakeholders

Nice to Haves

• Exposure to structural analysis methods, GD&T, environmental qualification (vibe/thermal), and/or configuration control practices common in aerospace programs
• Familiarity with materials/finishes for marine or outdoor environments

What We Offer

• Incredibly high-caliber teammates
• A fast-paced, creative working environment that offers a lot of room for ownership and growth
• Opportunity to join a meaningful mission that protects American and our Democracy
• Salary Range: $77,000 - $100,000 annual base salary (final compensation will depend on experience and skill level)
• Startup equity options
• Generous PTO, medical, dental, and free vision coverage
