We’re looking for a Principal Mechanical Engineer who loves hands-on engineering, thrives on solving hard hardware problems, and wants to see their designs go from napkin sketch to physical deployment. If you're ready to lead critical programs, mentor rising talent, and push the limits of advanced satellite communications, this is your platform.

POSITION SUMMARY

As an Electrical Engineer, you will design, develop, integrate and test complex electrical systems for high-performance antenna systems. You'll work with multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle - from concept development and detailed design through testing, manufacturing, and customer support for aerospace and defense applications.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Design, evaluate, and update circuit board assemblies and cabling
Provide critical support across all product development lifecycle phases - including conceptual, prototype, and production design - to guarantee assigned objectives are met on schedule
Perform hands-on hardware sub-component, circuit board and system level electrical testing and integration
Support multiple programs/products simultaneously
Documentation of Electrical designs
Additional responsibilities may include system integration, data collection, and product support
Other duties as assigned

WHAT YOU BRING

Must-Haves

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering
