Design and manufacturing engineering remain integrated under one accountable discipline leader.

Essential Responsibilities:

• Establish and lead mechanical, structural, shelter, and mechanical-integration engineering activity.
• Own structural design, finite element analysis, thermal management, HVAC integration, environmental sealing, EMI shielding integration, equipment packaging, lifting and tie-down systems, and transportation analysis.
• Drive maintainability, manufacturability, producibility, and lifecycle support throughout product development.
• Lead mechanical work across concept development, system architecture, detailed design, prototype development, manufacturing support, qualification testing, production release, and field deployment.
• Develop engineering standards, design methodologies, manufacturing documentation, qualification plans, and technical data packages that support repeatable production.
• Establish design practices supporting the International Building Code, ASCE 7 structural and seismic requirements, military environmental qualification requirements, and customer-specific defense and utility standards.
• Own mechanical manufacturing engineering for welding and system assembly, including routings, work instructions, fixture design, and weld procedures.
• Lead mechanical and system-assembly floor execution for the discipline.
• Integrate mechanical architecture with electrical, communications, cooling, and mission equipment while protecting structural integrity, reliability, maintainability, and producibility.

Required Qualifications:

• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related disciplie; candidates with a minimum of a Bachelor's degree and significant relevant expeirence will be considered in lieu of an advanced degree. 
• 5+ years of demonstrated managerial experience leading mechanical, structural, shelter, or closely related engineering work through design, manufacturing, qualification, and deployment.
• Demonstrated experience creating functional strategies, specific objectives, and developing budgets/policies/procedures to support the functional infrastructure. 
• Deep knowledge of the managed sub-function and solid knowledge of the overall departmental function.
• Experience with structural analysis, finite element analysis, thermal management, HVAC integration, environmental sealing, equipment packaging, and transportation-related design considerations.
• Experience integrating mechanical design with manufacturing engineering, particularly welding and system assembly.
• Ability to develop engineering standards, manufacturing documentation, qualification plans, and technical data packages.
• Working knowledge of maintainability, manufacturability, producibility, and lifecycle engineering.
• Ability to lead cross-discipline integration with electrical, communications, cooling, and mission-equipment stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with utility-grade E-Houses, transportable electrical control rooms, modular equipment shelters, ISO container systems, environmental control systems, or similar mission-critical infrastructure.
• Experience applying the International Building Code, ASCE 7, military environmental qualification requirements, or customer-specific defense and utility standards.
• Experience with arc-resistant switchgear buildings, medium-voltage equipment enclosures, or mechanical infrastructure supporting mission-critical electrical equipment.

This position must meet export control compliance requirements. All applicants must be “U.S. persons” within the meaning of ITAR, as defined: a U.S. Citizen, a lawful permanent resident, political asylee, or refugee.
