Epirus is a high-growth technology company developing solid-state, software-defined directed energy systems that enable unprecedented counter-electronics effects and power management solutions to optimize power efficiency in defense and commercial applications. With a constant emphasis on innovation, we are redefining the future of power to bring tomorrow's capabilities to life, today. And that's just the beginning.

In this role, you will design electromechanical assemblies, mechanisms, and large structures – following designs through their full lifecycle. Successful candidates use their creativity and engineering knowledge to develop innovative mechanical solutions as we push the boundaries of high-power microwave technology. You will have a hands-on role in designing, building, and testing mechanical designs ranging from small electronics packages to large actuated systems.

Responsibilities:

• Design and build RF-phased array structures and electronic packages as a key member of a cross-functional product design team
• Design harnesses, cables, and interconnects for large electronics assemblies and vehicle-mounted systems
• Perform thermal and structural analyses to validate designs and ensure robust, reliable designs.
• Create CAD models and detailed manufacturing drawings, including tolerance analysis and GD&T in compliance with ASME Y14.5
• Collaborate with the operations team to transition designs into production, driving quality and manufacturability.
• Develop and execute environmental testing to validate product performance in real world conditions.

Basic Qualifications:

• Undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent.
• Demonstrated ability to design complex mechanical assemblies in a highly collaborative interdisciplinary team.
• 2+ years of relevant experience including hands-on design and build
• Strong written and oral communication skills
• Proficiency in mechanical design packages such as SolidWorks or equivalent

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Demonstrated comfort with hands-on build and test of mechanical systems.
• Demonstrated experience in applying geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Experience designing harnesses or cables for complex electronic systems
• Ability to understand and contribute to electrical schematics, diagrams and interconnects
• Collaborative; capable of working across all levels of the organization and in multidisciplinary design teams.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
