Overview
Principal Mechanical Engineer
The Radar Mechanical Design Department leads mechanical design, development, and integration of some of the most innovative land-based and shipboard radars in the world. This includes phased array radar systems, electronic modules, pedestals, and power and cooling systems. The department comprises individuals with technical expertise and experience in hardware design, integration, and production support. We have an opportunity for an experienced Principal Mechanical Engineer to support our radar development programs. This person will be responsible to lead mechanical teams in all phases of our design cycles, from concept development through design, development, build and test. Key requirements for this position include proven problem solving skills and experience in hardware design and integration, engineering analysis, and mechanical drawing creation with military hardware. Individuals will interface and collaborate primarily with other engineering disciplines, as well as operations, systems, quality and program offices. This Principal Engineer role will be based in Marlborough, MA and is an on-site role. What You Will Do: Utilizing strong mechanical hardware design experience and knowledge with ruggedized structures, interconnects, cooling, and array integration Supporting all phases of programs from capture and concept development through production Developing technical solutions to a wide range of complex problems related to the entire product life cycle including proposal, design, manufacture, integration and test of phase array radars/electronics for multiple military programs Supervising the definitions of mechanical outline and construction details, component selection and specification, mechanical and assembly drawings, electrical/RF layout, and delivering the final technical data package Employing transition-to-production practices with the ability to lead a design release into production Tracking, reporting, and meeting cost, schedule, quality, and performance requirements for the finished product, including Earned Value (EV) management and Estimate at Complete (EAC) inputs Preparing proposal inputs on behalf of the product area Providing technical conscience, challenged with making sure the product and process meet appropriate standards and requirements while helping to remove roadblocks Working with minimal direction or supervision, while exercising considerable latitude in determining the technical objectives of the assignment while meeting cost, schedule, quality, and performance requirements for the finished product. Leading a small team of mechanical engineers when required Interacting frequently with senior personnel, occasionally including external customers, on significant technical matters often requiring coordination between organizations. Qualifications You Must Have: Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience or An Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 5 years experience. A minimum of eight (8) years of experience in the design of radar architecture or electronics packaging for military or aerospace or commercial applications Experience with GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerances) The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance prior to the start date. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance Qualifications We Prefer: Experience with ANSI drawing standards and/or first order or structural analysis techniques. Experience with design to military standards Strong technical background with high technical aptitude Strong leadership skills and project management, sub contract management experience Experience with CREO (Pro/E) or similar 3D solid modeling software Cognizant of machine suppliers' capabilities or have direct experience in a manufacturing and assembly support role for producibility Familiarity with the design and manufacturing processes of CCAs, mechanical/RF components, metal housings, structures, and electronics assemblies Must have a working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) Very strong verbal and written communications and interpersonal skills when working with team members and customers Advanced degree in Mechanical, Electrical or Aerospace Engineering What We Offer: Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
