## Description

strives to be the premier organization for mechanical design and development through our world class people and technology - creating trusted, innovative solutions to make the world a safer place. Hardware Engineering's capabilities encompass a broad range of technical disciplines which include engineering, technical services, materials, processes, analysis, test, and documentation. Within the Hardware Engineering Organization, the Undersea & Electronics Systems (UES) Department leads the mechanical design, development, and integration of products, including but not limited to undersea sensors and analysis, naval platforms, shipboard/ground-based processing and power equipment, and launchers. The UES department is looking for a full-time Mechanical Engineer II. This role will be on-site and located in Portsmouth, RI. What You Will Do * Perform mechanical design, development, and documentation of components, sub-assemblies, and major end items for defense system equipment in accordance
with system requirements.

 * As a member of a design team you will help solve challenging technical issues and drive results through efficiently completing assigned design and support tasks.
 * Develop mechanical designs from initial concept to formal technical data package generation (engineering drawings, models) and culminating in initial builds, testing, transition to production, and production support
 * Collaborate across multiple disciplines/functions (i.e. structural/thermal analyses and electrical engineering) to solve complex technical challenges in a fast-paced, team environment.
 * Participate in design peer reviews, resolve action items, and conduct trade studies to make sound technical decisions
