R&D Mechanical Engineer

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

The engineer will:

• Design, development, and integrate mechanical and thermal subsystems for high-voltage and high-power systems and supporting technologies
• Conduct analyses of complex problems using first principles
• Contribute to complex engineering projects, working within a multidisciplinary team
• 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 3.5 GPA (out of 4.0) and must have GPA listed on resume to be considered
• Self-motivated and able to work well within research and development team
• Demonstrated hands-on experience in prototyping through events/organizations such as design/build/fly, Formula SAE, CubeSat, or other similar
• 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 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 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
