The posting

ABOUT THE ROLE

Own major mechanical subsystems for ruggedized directed-energy systems, from architecture through production handoff. You will work on a lean engineering team to build and validate field-deployable hardware designed to perform in demanding environments.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Design and validate laser enclosures, beam director and gimbal structures, and precision mounts.

- Perform static, modal, random vibration, and shock response spectrum FEA, then correlate results with bench and field testing.

- Develop thermal management solutions for high-power laser and electronics packaging across thermal cycles.

- Build, instrument, and run test rigs to characterize systems before field deployment.

- Design for MIL-STD-810 shock and vibration requirements and other austere operating conditions.

- Take designs from concept through prototyping, validation, field testing, and manufacturing handoff.

- Lead design reviews, collaborate across engineering disciplines, and mentor junior engineers.

- Travel to field tests and range events to validate and improve system performance.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- At least 5 years of mechanical engineering experience with ruggedized, field-deployable, or high-performance systems, including taking a subsystem from prototype to production.

- Strong hands-on FEA skills with ANSYS, Nastran, Abaqus, or equivalent, including test correlation.

- Experience designing to MIL-STD-810 or equivalent shock and vibration standards, and with precision optomechanical packaging.

- Thermal management experience for high-power systems, plus experience building and running validation rigs and instrumentation.

- Experience with design for manufacturability and manufacturing handoff.

- BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

- Laser, directed-energy, ruggedized optical bench, or vehicle-mounted systems experience is a plus.

- U.S. citizenship is required.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Base salary is $165,000 to $210,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.

LOCATION

On-site in Detroit, Michigan, with travel required for field testing and range validation.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
