Innovative Communications Technology Leader | Veteran | Beneficial Disruptor Company Description
TSS Solutions, an Acorn Capital Management Company, leads the defense electronics industry by delivering innovative, high-quality, and cost-effective technical services. Specializing in modernizing air surveillance Radar and SATCOM systems, TSS Solutions enhances operational and financial performance for mission-critical applications. Since its founding in 1991, TSS Solutions has collaborated with top aerospace and defense brands, including Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. The company is dedicated to building innovative products and providing world-class engineering services to support global customers and protect national interests.
Mission
TSS Solutions is a mission-driven organization focused on delivering next-generation RADAR, SATCOM, and tactical military communications systems to the warfighter. We operate with the agility and intensity of a special operations team—small, focused, and committed to solutions that work when it matters most. Our mechanical engineers don't just design components; they create systems that must perform flawlessly in the world's most demanding operational environments.
Position Summary
We are seeking a multidisciplinary Mechanical Engineer with 5–7 years of experience to lead the design, analysis, and development of mechanical systems for advanced defense electronics platforms. This role demands a leader who can bridge mechanical design, electronics packaging, and systems integration while maintaining a relentless focus on mission success. The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise, proven project leadership, and the ability to deliver ruggedized solutions from concept through field deployment.
Key Responsibilities
Lead mechanical design efforts for complex electronics packaging, including RADAR systems, SATCOM terminals, and tactical communications equipment
Develop 3D CAD models and detailed drawing packages using SolidWorks, ensuring compliance with military standards (MIL-STD) and manufacturing requirements
Conduct structural and thermal analysis using finite element analysis (FEA) and classical engineering techniques to validate designs for shock, vibration, and environmental extremes
Design for low-volume production and field serviceability, including reverse engineering of legacy systems for modernization programs
Collaborate with RF engineers, electrical engineers, and systems architects to optimize mechanical designs for thermal management, EMI/RFI shielding, and signal integrity
Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles to integrate mechanical design with broader system architectures
Documentation & Quality
Develop and maintain configuration-controlled documentation, including bills of materials (BOMs), technical drawings per ASME Y14.100, and assembly procedures
Support Air Force Technical Order (TO) compliance and coordinate with metrology teams for mechanical inspection and quality assurance
Participate in Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR) and Critical Design Reviews (CDR), presenting technical solutions and design rationale to customers and stakeholders
Interface with machine shops, fabricators, and suppliers to ensure manufacturability, quality, and cost-effectiveness
Lead mechanical engineering tasks within cross-functional project teams, managing timelines, deliverables, and technical risk
Support business development and proposal efforts by providing technical input, cost estimates, and engineering assessments
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal training programs on mechanical design best practices
Support field testing, system integration, and troubleshooting activities to ensure operational readiness
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or closely related discipline
5–7 years of mechanical design experience in electronics packaging, aerospace, or defense applications
Expert proficiency in SolidWorks for 3D modeling, assembly design, and drawing generation
Demonstrated experience with mechanical design for low-volume production, including legacy system reverse engineering and modernization
Strong understanding of PCB layout integration, digital/RF electronics housing, and thermal management strategies
Working knowledge of Air Force Technical Orders (TOs), metrology tools, and mechanical inspection processes
Ability to develop detailed BOMs, drawing packages, and configuration-controlled documentation
Experience with SolidWorks PDM (user-level required; admin-level preferred) and configuration management systems
Hands-on experience with structural and thermal analysis (FEA and classical methods) to validate design performance
Proven ability to work with machine shops and fabricators to ensure design for manufacturability (DFM)
Strong written and verbal communication skills with experience presenting technical material to customers and leadership
Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team in a fast-paced, mission-focused environment
U.S. Citizenship required (position requires eligibility for a Secret security clearance)
Preferred Qualifications
Active Secret security clearance
Experience in defense, aerospace, or military electronics programs with exposure to acquisition processes
Knowledge of ASME Y14.100 standards and GD&T principles
Exposure to Altium CoDesigner for electromechanical integration and wire harness design
Familiarity with AutoCAD, Altium, or other CAD tools for interdisciplinary collaboration
Basic understanding of Radio Frequency (RF) concepts and phased array antenna systems
Certification or coursework in project management (PMP), Lean manufacturing, or Six Sigma
Previous experience as a technical lead, trainer, or mentor in engineering settings
Hands-on field experience with military systems, testing, or operational environments
Core Competencies
Advanced Mechanical Engineering (CAD, FEA, stress analysis, thermal management, electronics integration)
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and systems thinking
Technical documentation and quality compliance (ASME Y14.100, Air Force TOs)
Process development and project management in fast-paced environments
Cross-functional collaboration with RF, electrical, and systems engineering teams
Customer-facing communication and presentation skills
Leadership, mentoring, and training development
What We Offer
At TSS Solutions, you won't be designing components for corporate boardrooms—you'll be creating systems that directly support warfighters in the field. We offer a mission-focused culture where engineering excellence directly translates to operational impact. You'll work alongside a small, agile team of subject matter experts who value rapid iteration, technical depth, and solutions that work the first time, every time. If you want your engineering work to matter, this is the place.
TSS Solutions is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
