Mechanical Design Engineer

About the role

The Mechanical Design Engineer will lead the design and development of electro‑optical and electro‑mechanical systems, delivering high‑precision housings, mounts and enclosures that meet strict military and defense standards.

Key responsibilities

• Create and review 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, general arrangement layouts and assembly documentation.
• Design precision housings, mounts and enclosures for optical and electronic components.
• Develop thermal management solutions and ensure environmental sealing to IP/MIL standards.
• Collaborate with optics, electronics, manufacturing, supply‑chain and vendor teams.
• Prepare work instructions, bills of materials and PLM documentation.
• Support prototype builds, testing and validation in thermal chambers and environmental labs.
• Ensure compliance with military/defense durability, reliability and safety requirements.

Required profile

• Experience with electro‑optical assemblies such as lenses, sensors and housings.
• Knowledge of materials for military applications, including aluminum alloys, composites and sealing gaskets.
• Ability to work under tight schedules in fast‑track development environments.
• Strong team spirit and leadership qualities.

Required skills

• 3D CAD modeling and 2D drawing creation.
• General arrangement (GA) layout design.
• Assembly documentation and BOM preparation.
• Thermal management design.
• Environmental sealing to IP/MIL standards.
• PLM documentation.
• Prototype build support and thermal chamber testing.
• Compliance with military/defense standards.
• Electro‑optical assembly design.
• Materials selection for military applications (aluminum alloys, composites, sealing gaskets).
