Principal Mechanical Engineer for Undersea Signal Processing Systems

1 month ago


Woburn, United States STR Full time

About the Team:

The Undersea Systems and Acoustics (USA) Group in the STR Sensors Division develops and delivers advanced undersea sensor and signal processing systems centered around intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and counter-ISR. Our applications range from detection and classification problems to acoustic warfare and protection analogous to electronic warfare. Our systems range from advanced algorithms leveraging high performance computing to low size, weight, and power (SWAP) distributed uncrewed systems supporting real-time embedded processing. Using modeling and simulation, experimental campaigns, and prototyping coupled with testing that progresses through bench-top, tank, lake, and at-sea demonstrations, we mature innovative concepts into prototypes and fielded systems to address critical defense needs with agility, persistence, and scale.

The Role:

The primary role of this position is to drive all aspects of mechanical engineering and ocean engineering across a portfolio of distributed uncrewed undersea systems (vehicles, buoys, ocean bottom nodes), working with other multi-disciplinary engineers to realize novel system concepts. This would include concept development, design, fabrication, integration, and testing.

The systems the STR USA group develops to solve demanding problems often have complex interactions and tradeoffs between mechanical, electrical, acoustical, and other system aspects. Therefore, while leveraging expertise in ME, the ideal candidate would be multi-disciplinary, willing-to and comfortable with crossing discipline boundaries including signal processing, electrical engineering, embedded systems, power, etc.

The candidate would be specifically knowledgeable in pressure vessels, hydrodynamics, thermal, power systems, shock, vibration, stability, control, transducers, and actuators, all of which are aspects of distributed uncrewed undersea systems.

What you will do:

Contribute to, supervise, or lead all aspets of mechanical and ocean engineering across a portfolio of small, multi-disciplinary teams developing distributed uncrewed systems with multi-program multi-year roadmaps.

Maintain the best practices, capabilities, and/or partnerships (and identify approaches to filling any gaps) necessary for the USA group to design, produce, integrate, and test distributed uncrewed undersea systems focused on ISR and C-ISR missions

Design and implement cutting-edge technology in undersea acoustic hardware prototypes, leveraging modern development tools and practices

Work with others to model and simulate the advanced undersea acoustic systems under development at scales from individual sensor physics to macroscopic theater-level impact

Communicate technical details and progress to customers, stakeholders, sponsors, prime- and sub-contractors

Who you are:

This position requires an active security clearance, and eligibility to support special access programs, for which U.S. citizenship is needed by U.S. Government

PhD or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Physics, or related technical discipline

Demonstrated leadership experience in advanced research and development projects with 10+ years for PhD, 15+ years for MS

Ability to create and present deep technical briefings as well as high-level briefings to customers and senior management

Ability to survey literature to determine state-of-the-art, incorporate recent research and apply to current problem sets

Understanding and experience in interacting with decision-makers and customers to translate mission needs into an end-to-end analytical solution
