About Us:
Fairwinds Technologies is a U.S. engineering company specializing in Satellite Communications (SATCOM), Radio Frequency Transmission Systems, Network Design, Systems Integration, and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technologies. We support Command, Control, Communications, and Computer (C4) systems used in austere military environments. We provide communications, networking, and information technology solutions for defense and civilian agencies around the world.
Mechanical Engineering Director
Fairwinds is looking for innovators who can successfully execute across multiple disciplines as part of a small business environment. An ideal candidate would be an out of the box thinker, develop innovative solutions, and provide expertise in an IP connected environment across RF Tactical & Naval Military Solutions to strategic border protection Applications. This would include experience in communications systems & test engineering including reflector based and phased array SATCOM antenna systems. Work under the Chief Technology & Strategy Office to define Mechanical Engineering Design Investments and develop multiple mechanical and thermal solutions for customers across the communications & radar spectrums. Ability to design flexible adapter and mechanical assembly solutions for tactical applications. Looking for someone that has the ability to interact with both customers & engineering design teams to identify mechanical & thermal designs for new cutting-edge technologies and identify current issues and correct those to the customers satisfaction.
Location: APG, MD
Type: Hybrid up to 40 hours a week in the office as needed.
Required Skills:
- Bachelor of Science in Mechanical or Materials Engineering.
- 5 years’ experience designing mechanical mounts for Naval or Tactical Military platforms for mounting communications systems.
- 5 years’ experience with designing mechanical packaging solutions for rapid prototyping and quick reaction communications systems.
- Understanding of materials science and thermal management engineering.
- Understanding of Radar Cross Section material concepts for communication/radar systems.
- Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in mechanical design and development.
- Ability to not shy away from technical challenges and an approach of how it can be done, not how it can't be done.
- Experience with SATCOM, Terrestrial Wireless/Radio Systems.
- Experience with MATLAB, Simulink, & Solidworks.
- Experience working with contract manufacturing, etc.
- Experience writing Technical White Papers
- Ability to work independently and up to 75% remote.
