Mechanical Engineer – Rugged Defence Hardware
Livermore, CA (Onsite)
$150,000 Base Salary (DOE) Benefits
I'm working with an innovative engineering organisation developing next-generation rugged hardware for demanding defence applications. They're looking for a Mechanical Engineer who enjoys taking ownership of products from concept through to testing and real-world deployment.
This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll work across the full product lifecycle, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver hardware capable of operating in harsh environments.
What you'll be doing:
- Mechanical design of rugged hardware for defence applications
- Creating 3D CAD models (SolidWorks preferred)
- Performing your own FEA analysis
- Supporting prototype builds and testing
- Iterating designs based on test results
- Working closely with electrical, manufacturing and systems engineering teams
What we're looking for:
- Experience designing rugged mechanical hardware within defence, aerospace or space
- Strong SolidWorks CAD capability
- Practical FEA experience with the ability to complete your own analysis
- Experience taking products through design, prototyping, testing and field validation
- Broad mechanical engineering experience rather than a narrow specialist background
Highly desirable:
- Defence ground vehicle experience
- Previous or active Security Clearance
- Experience with environmental qualification testing
Candidates must be eligible for Security Clearance.
If you're looking for an opportunity to work on mission-critical hardware where you'll have ownership across the full development cycle, I'd be happy to tell you more.
