As an Electro-Mechanical Technician, you will join a dynamic R&D Engineering team focused on designing, prototyping, and deploying cutting-edge electro-mechanical systems in the EW (Electromagnetic Warfare) domain.

You will be a hands-on enabler of both prototype and production hardware related to electronic warfare systems. You will support multiple projects by handling assembly, rework, test setup, maintenance, and field readiness activities.

Key responsibilities include:

Assembling, installing, and troubleshooting mechanical and electro-mechanical prototypes and systems

Performing mechanical rework and modifications, including drilling, tapping, cutting, and assembling metal, plastic, and composite components

Supporting integration of mechanical and electrical subsystems, including installation of motors, sensors, wiring harnesses, and control systems

Executing test procedures for mechanical assemblies, including setup of instrumentation (force gauges, torque meters, vibration systems, etc.), data collection, and report generation

Troubleshooting mechanical and electro-mechanical systems to identify and resolve issues such as alignment, fitment, or wear-related failures

Fabricating mechanical fixtures, brackets, adapters, and custom parts using hand tools, power tools, or manual machining techniques to support engineering workflows

Conducting incoming inspection of mechanical components, assemblies, and fasteners for quality, workmanship, and compliance with specifications

Building, testing, and verifying cable assemblies and wiring harnesses for mechanical systems, ensuring proper termination, routing, and labeling

Maintaining lab organization, including safety practices for mechanical tools, equipment calibration, inventory control, and workspace cleanliness

Supporting system bring-up, validation, and durability testing for mechanical assemblies during development, production, or field deployment

Documenting build processes, test results, rework procedures, and lessons learned to improve quality, repeatability, and traceability

Assisting with packaging, assembly, and preparation of field kits for system deployment and readiness

Collaborating with engineering teams to meet program goals, ensuring mechanical systems are completed on schedule and to specification

Required qualifications include:

Hands-on experience with mechanical assembly, prototyping, and troubleshooting, including work with precision parts, fasteners, machinery, and material handling

Proficiency with basic mechanical tools (calipers, torque wrenches, hand drills, etc.) and techniques (drilling, tapping, bending, cutting, alignments)

Familiarity with electro-mechanical systems, including integration of motors, actuators, and sensors; experience with wiring harness routes and mechanical mounts

Strong troubleshooting skills to diagnose and repair mechanical issues, including misalignments, wear and tear, and component failures

Understanding of safety protocols, such as OSHA requirements, clean workspace standards, and proper handling of mechanical tools and hardware

Exceptional attention to detail for quality checks on parts, assemblies, fasteners, and wiring to ensure precision and reliability

Familiarity with reading mechanical drawings, assembly diagrams, and technical documentation; ability to follow detailed assembly work instructions

Ability to thrive in a dynamic R&D environment, adapting to evolving designs, timelines, and requirements

Preferred qualifications include:

Prior experience in the EW (Electromagnetic Warfare) or defense sector, or work involving ruggedized or harsh-environment applications

Experience with field deployment of hardware; knowledge of what makes systems reliable in real operational use

Basic machining, metal/fabrication skills, or ability to operate manual machine tools

Experience with inventory/tracking tools, lab management software, version control for hardware documentation

Knowledge of safety standards and maintainable design practices for reliability, thermal management, vibration/shock, etc.
