Primary Responsibilities:

The engineer will be responsible for taking mechanical designs from concept through detailed design, fabrication, assembly, integration, and test. The position requires an individual who can work independently, communicate effectively across technical disciplines, and collaborate closely with machinists, fabricators, vendors, and other engineers to develop robust, manufacturable hardware.

You will have secondary responsibility for capturing cooling requirements for directed energy systems, developing thermal control systems that satisfy those requirements, supervising their construction, and conducting testing and troubleshooting on cooling equipment to verify performance. Duties may include documenting designs and presenting them to the customers, generating bills of materials and coordinating their purchase, auditing as-build systems for compliance to design, and documenting test results.

Create 3D solid models and detailed mechanical designs for innovative hardware, equipment, and systems, carrying designs from initial requirements and concepts through fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing.
Perform appropriate engineering analysis to support design decisions and verify mechanical performance.
Create and maintain engineering drawings, including appropriate dimensions, tolerances, and other manufacturing requirements, in accordance with company standards and customer specifications.
Design hardware with consideration for manufacturability, material selection, machining, welding, fabrication, assembly, and maintenance requirements.
Work directly with Leidos machinists, fabricators, technicians, and external vendors to develop, procure, and support fabrication of mechanical components and assemblies.
Resolve design, fabrication, assembly, and testing issues by developing practical and effective mechanical solutions.
Support hands-on assembly, integration, troubleshooting, modification, and testing of prototype and experimental hardware.
Collaborate with engineers and scientists from multiple technical disciplines to develop mechanical interfaces and integrated system solutions.
Manage multiple engineering tasks and projects while effectively balancing technical requirements, schedules, and priorities.
Communicate technical concepts, design decisions, and status effectively to engineering teams, project leadership, customers, and manufacturing personnel.
Provide technical leadership for significant mechanical subsystems or projects, including establishing mechanical approaches, interfaces, and solutions for complex multidisciplinary problems.
Collaborate with customers, engineers, and technicians to develop cooling requirements
Conduct FEA thermal analysis to quantify heat loads and cooling needs.
Design cold plates and heat exchangers to manage heat flow.
Conduct CFD analysis to calculate flow rates, pressure drop and heat removal.
Size commercial heat exchangers, fluid pumps and fans in accordance with thermal requirements and analysis.
Develop 3D models, drawings and flow diagrams to document the design of thermal control systems.

Basic Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering with more than 20 years of experience prior experience with mechanical and/or thermal systems or a master’s degree with 15 years of related experience.
Demonstrated experience developing mechanical hardware from concept through detailed design, fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing
Proficiency with SolidWorks, including 3D part and assembly modeling and creation of detailed engineering drawings; experience with PDMWorks.
Working familiarity with cooling components such as heat exchangers, chillers, pumps, and cooling fans.
Mastery of applying mechanical design principles, material selection, tolerancing, and design for manufacturability in the development of fabricated hardware.
Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively with machinists, fabricators, technicians, engineers, and scientists.
Experience with thermal measurement diagnostics such as thermocouples, flow gauges, and pressure sensors.
Strong written and verbal communication skills and be able to lead meetings with large groups of people.
Work location is predominantly Albuquerque, NM. Candidate must be a resident of, or be willing to relocate to, Albuquerque, NM.
Demonstrated ability to develop practical solutions to complex mechanical design, fabrication, assembly, and testing problems
Must be a US Citizen and possess (and be able to maintain) a Final Secret Clearance OR meet the eligibility to obtain (and maintain) a Secret Clearance.
Ability and willingness to adhere to government and company safety requirements
Ability to manage multiple projects or engineering tasks while maintaining project schedules and priorities

Experience with directed energy systems, vacuum components, and pulsed power systems.
Skilled in the use of Simulink to model thermal control systems.
Adaptable in fast-paced environments.
Experience with SolidWorks Simulation
Application of GD&T to mechanical engineering drawings
Design of machined, welded, sheet metal, and fabricated mechanical components and assemblies, including designs requiring multiple manufacturing processes
Experience with prototype, low-volume, and research and development hardware
Structural analysis of mechanical components, assemblies, and systems using analytical methods and FEA as appropriate
Thermal and heat-transfer analysis of mechanical and electromechanical systems, including development of practical thermal management solutions
Mechanical packaging and integration of multidisciplinary systems
Hardware assembly, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and field operations
Expert knowledge of vacuum systems, vacuum hardware, and pressure vessels
Experience with mechanical design and integration for electromagnetic, RF, high-power microwave, or pulsed-power systems
