Job Description
Our defense customer pushes the boundaries of science and engineering to design, model, and fabricate technologies and prototype systems for national security applications. These mission areas include space imaging and data processing, high-energy lasers, long-range laser communications, ground-based radars, and undersea communication terminals. Within the organization, the Fabrication Engineering Group works with program teams from initial design through manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing to fabricate low-volume advanced hardware. Our core PCB capabilities include automated solder paste printing, precision pick and place machines, and automated optical inspection systems. Our core mechanical competencies span precision fabrication, diamond turning, EDM machining, additive manufacturing, and 5-axis machining. Our core assembly, integration, and test capabilities include program integration spaces, cleanrooms, vibration testing, and space simulation chambers. The group concentrates on high-complexity parts, state-of-practice prototyping capabilities, technical excellence, quality systems for national security applications, and exceptional collaboration. Internal fabrication resources are typically focused on supporting the most complex hardware, which oftentimes requires a collaborative approach to brainstorm and determine which machines/technologies should be leveraged to provide the highest probability of success. The ideal candidate is a talented, creative, and motivated individual with a strong aptitude for problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, and excellent interpersonal, verbal/written communication, and time management skills with an enthusiasm, aptitude and willingness to learn new state-of-the-art technologies and software. Given the nature of working in a high precision environment, meticulous attention to detail is paramount in successful execution and delivery of high-quality hardware that’s instrumental to program success.
