Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer

Radiance Technologies, a rapidly growing employee-owned company, is seeking a Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer to support various ongoing programs within the Microwave Technologies and Systems Development Operation.

The engineer will:

• Lead the design, development, and integration of mechanical and thermal subsystems for high-voltage and high-power systems and supporting technologies
• Conduct analyses of complex problems using first principles
• Manage and execute technical projects with minimal ovesight, from concept through test and delivery
• Produce technical documentation of assigned projects

This position involves hands-on work in a laboratory setting with a highly multidisciplinary team. You will work closely with electrical engineers, computer engineers, and technicians to design, build, and test advanced pulsed power and HPM systems. Responsibilities include mechanical and thermal design and analysis, prototype and low-rate production builds, and failure analysis.

Required Qualifications:

• US Citizenship with the ability to obtain a security clearance
• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or closely related discipline
• Minimum of 5 years of experience, preferably in R&D, prototyping, or system integration roles
• Self-motivated and able to work well within research and development team
• Experience with end-to-end construction of prototype hardware, production hardware, experimental setups, or other types of mechanical constructions
• Experience with CAD software such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA NX, or similar software packages
• Demonstrated proficiency in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), tolerance stack-ups, and design for manufacturing
• Demonstrated experience in heat transfer mechanics and thermal systems, preferably in electrical systems
• Experience with standard electrical laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, function generators, multimeters, and power supplies

Desired Qualifications:

• Masters or PhD Degree in Mechanical Engineering or closely related discipline
• Machine shop or hands-on fabrication experience (lathes, mills, 3D printers, etc.)
• Experience in design of high-voltage systems, including insulation techniques, creepage and clearance design, and material selection
• Experience with multiphysics analysis tools, such as COMSOL or PLECS
• Experience leading and/or mentoring technical teams
• Experience with HPM-specific engineering disciplines such as high voltage engineering, circuit card mechanical assemblies, pulsed power, prime power, power electronics, high power RF, and/or antenna development

Clearance:

Applicants selected will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
