## About the Role

The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance, This position is for a professional that offers a skillset that stretches across the hardware engineering technical domain. A degree in one of the following engineering fields is necessary: mechanical, electrical, systems, mechatronics, computer, or similar. The individual will support requirements development and analysis, design, fabrication and assembly specifications, process development, technical evaluation of systems ranging in maturity from conceptual to high TRL, and the generation of test and technical documentation. The ideal candidate will possess a proven background in integrated systems design, technical data package development, and a robust methodology for performing organized and traceable iterative design and evaluation cycles.

A successful individual possesses the ability to work both independently as well as collaboratively within a small development team to identify, prioritize, and execute tasks that align with project objectives. Project topics include, but are not limited to, shipboard systems, unmanned platforms and payloads, and complex sensing and data collection systems. The candidate shall have the aptitude to manage and track multiple parallel technical activities. This is a hybrid position but will generally require 4 days on-site per week., * Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) discipline plus 2 years of relevant professional experience, or an Advanced Degree in a STEM discipline.
