Senior Mechanical Engineer

Epirus designs and builds cutting-edge, high-powered microwave (HPM) systems that have the ability to transform industries. With a successful foothold in the defense industry, where we invented directed energy weapon systems that surpass current capabilities, we’re creating new possibilities for intelligently-driven power products in commercial markets.

Job objective: This is an exciting role in a growing company. The ideal candidate for the position is someone who has experience designing, building, and testing the physical structure for phased array products and packaging RF assemblies. We are particularly interested in mechanical engineers that have experience in designing systems and testing systems to pass qualification testing (environmental - rain/moisture, shock, and vibration). The ideal candidate will have designed and taken a system through successful tests of various levels of shock, vibe, and environmental test.

Duties

• Build a physical structure to mount an array of RF elements
• Ruggedization of components to survive shock, vibe, and environmental
• Simulate large structural components and vehicle based systems
• Design packaging solution for RF power amplifier modules
• Create CAD models of phased array structure
• Select and manage vendors to product specific components and assemble modules

Required Qualifications

• Undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering
• 6+ years of relevant experience or minimum experience includes at least 2 full product life cycle
• Previous experience with RF system or component mechanical design
• US Citizen and/or Permanent Resident (future security clearance may be required)

Desired Qualifications

• Good written and oral communication skills

Epirus was the magical bow with infinite arrows wielded by the Greek hero Theseus. Like our namesake, we strive to be fast, efficient, and limitless in our approach. This agility, combined with a culture of innovation in systems development, allows us to move quickly without losing the decades of lessons learned.

We have developed technologies that leverage new breakthroughs in sensors and high-power microwaves, combined with computer vision and advanced software control. Our first broad-market application is a comprehensive defense system to defeat offensive drones at scale.
