Mechanical Engineer

Type: Permanent
Job #8441
Salary: NON 175,000

Mechanical Engineer

Northern Virginia (Washington DC area) | Onsite, 4 days a week | Full time, permanent

The company
A fast-growing, venture-backed defense technology company. Its hardware sits on military ground vehicles and fighter aircraft, capturing data that keeps those fleets secure and mission ready. Revenue has tripled this year and the hardware team is growing to match.

The role
You’ll be the second mechanical engineer on a small hardware team, working alongside electrical engineers and production. You’ll own the mechanical side of rugged electronics from first concept through to production and onto the platform. There’s no handing off and no waiting on another department. What you design goes into the field.

What you’ll do

Design rugged chassis and electronic enclosure assemblies for harsh military environments
Run your own thermal and structural analysis to prove designs out
Produce production drawings with GD&T, and own BOMs and design revisions with suppliers
Prototype, test and validate against shock, vibration, thermal and environmental requirements
Design installation kits, brackets and cable routing for vehicle and aircraft integration
Travel to customer sites roughly once every month or two for fit checks and integration testing

What you’ll bring

3 to 10 years in mechanical design of rugged electronic enclosures, chassis or electronics packaging
Hands-on thermal analysis and structural analysis/FEA, done by you rather than handed off
Strong 3D CAD skills (SolidWorks preferred, but NX, Creo or CATIA users are welcome)
Hands-on prototyping, assembly and testing experience
Exposure to MIL-STD-810 and/or DO-160 environments
Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or similar
US citizen, able to obtain a security clearance (no active clearance needed; sponsorship available)

Nice to have

Defense or aerospace platform integration experience
Startup or small-team background where you’ve owned a design end to end

Why this one

Real ownership on a team of two, not one engineer among hundreds at a prime
Hardware on fighter jets and Army vehicles, with a roadmap moving into high-speed inline systems
Competitive base/bonus + equity
Four days onsite, with flexibility for heads-down design work
Low travel compared with most field-facing roles

Electrical Engineer

Type: Permanent
Job #8439
Salary: NON 175,000

Electrical Engineer, Rugged Defense Hardware
Arlington, VA (on-site 4 days a week) | Full time | Competitive base + equity

The company
A fast-growing, venture-backed defense tech company building the data and cybersecurity platform for military ground vehicles and aircraft. Their hardware sits on the platform’s data buses, capturing the telemetry that drives cyber protection, predictive maintenance and readiness. Revenue has grown 3x this year, and the roadmap is moving from passively monitoring those buses to an inline hardware firewall with hard latency constraints, built on high-speed FPGA architecture.

The role
You’ll be the fourth electrical engineer on a small hardware team, owning boards end to end: schematic, layout, bring-up, test and production. You won’t hand a layout to someone else or wait on another team, and your design ends up on real platforms in the field.

What you’ll do

Design power electronics, especially DC-DC conversion, alongside high-speed digital boards interfacing with FPGAs, DDR and high-speed Ethernet
Run your own schematic capture and multi-layer layout in Altium
Bring up boards, write test plans and troubleshoot production directly with board vendors
Design and qualify hardware to military standards (MIL-STD-810, 461, 704, 1275, DO-160)
Work closely with firmware, embedded and mechanical engineers
Travel roughly once every month or two for design reviews, integration testing and platform fit checks

What you’ll bring

3 to 10 years in hardware design
Power electronics depth, and the willingness to cover digital design as well
A record of laying out your own boards, ideally in Altium
Hands-on lab skills with scopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers and thermal chambers
Aerospace, defense or military space experience is a strong plus
Comfortable working with minimal hand-holding
US citizen, eligible for a US Government security clearance (sponsorship available, no active clearance needed)

Why join

A wide scope you won’t get at a large prime: power, digital and production all in one seat
Equity in a company growing fast on real defense contracts
A small team where ownership is expected
