Job Description
Amentum is seeking a motivated and technically capable Electrical/Mechanical Integration Field Engineer to join our engineering team based in China Lake, CA. This is a hands-on, multifaceted role that blends electrical troubleshooting, mechanical installation support, field execution, engineering design review, wiring documentation, test support, and technician mentorship. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical foundation, preferably supported by a STEM degree, and direct experience working with fielded hardware that includes electrical systems, low-voltage circuits, sensors, wiring harnesses, connectors, mechanical interfaces, brackets, enclosures, mounting hardware, and instrumentation. This role requires someone who can work from schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, interface control documents, and field work instructions to support installation, checkout, fault isolation, corrective action, and configuration updates. This is not a desk-only engineering role. The Field Engineer must be comfortable troubleshooting electrical systems while also supporting the practical mechanical work required to install, align, mount, route, protect, inspect, and sustain fielded hardware. This position offers a rare opportunity to apply disciplined engineering judgment in a real-world operational setting while contributing to wiring documentation, mechanical integration, technical reviews, field execution, and the development of junior technical personnel. This team supports multiple U.S. Navy research and development facilities associated with high-priority submarine weapon system development programs. These facilities are one-of-a-kind and provide capabilities not commonly available elsewhere in the Department of Defense. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and is willing to tackle problems that span the hardware lifecycle.
