HART Technologies, Inc. is looking for an experienced Mechanical Engineer to join our Battle Management System (BMS) team within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division. The successful candidate will apply robust mechanical engineering processes in a "hands-on" environment, working closely with the customer and end-users to develop hardware associated with a tactical weapon control system. This position will interface with other engineering functional areas (i.e. electrical engineering, system engineering, software development, system test, configuration management, and safety) and technical personnel from various external organizations to clarify program intent, identify problems, suggest changes, and develop and document final solutions. As part of the development lifecycle process, this position will participate in the installation, integration, and testing of the developed hardware both at NSWCDD and on occasion at other DoD locations working very closely with stakeholders, customers, flight personnel, and end users.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and development of electronics enclosures for DOD programs, ensuring compliance with military specifications (MIL-STD) for environmental protection (e.g., MIL-STD-810), EMI/RFI shielding (e.g., MIL-STD-461), and physical protection (e.g., MIL-STD-1344).

• Perform thermal and structural analysis of enclosures using finite element analysis (FEA) or other engineering tools.

• Select and specify materials for enclosures based on performance requirements, weight limitations, and manufacturability.

• Develop detailed engineering drawings and specifications for enclosures using CAD software and in accordance with ASME Y14.5 2018 and ASME Y14.41.

• Collaborate with program electrical engineers to ensure proper thermal management and electromagnetic compatibility within enclosures.

• Work with manufacturing partners to ensure enclosures are produced to meet design specifications and quality standards.

• Perform or oversee qualification testing of enclosures to verify compliance with military standards.

• Prepare and maintain technical documentation for enclosures, including design reports, test reports, and manufacturing drawings.

• Support and mentor fellow engineers on the team.

Required:

Qualifications:

• U.S. Citizenship and the ability to obtain a DOD Security Clearance.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

• Minimum 8 years of experience in the design and development of electronics enclosures, preferably for military applications.

• Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks) and FEA/CFD (Solidworks Simulation, Flow, Nastran, Altair, LS-Dyna, ANSYS, etc.) in order to structurally and thermally substantiate design.

• Experience using manufacturing equipment to produce rapid prototypes; 3D printers, Laser Cutters, Waterjet, Milling Machines, Hand Tools, etc.

Desired:

• At least Six (6) years of experience in the areas of either weapons manned or unmanned, robotic, or weapon control system concept definition, design, integration, and engineering.

• Knowledge of Weapon Systems as well as Command & Control (C2) Systems.

• Knowledge of DOD and NATO standards and certification processes.

• Active DoD Security Clearance.

Competitive annual salary plus paid time off, matching 401K, along with Medical, Dental and LT/ST Disability insurance for full-time employment. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.
