Electromechanical Engineer

Responsibilities

• Turn system concepts into physical hardware that works—and can be manufactured repeatedly.

Own Hardware From Concept Through Production

• Drive physical design, electromechanical integration, prototyping, DFM/DFA, testing, qualification, and manufacturing maturation.
• Take ownership of hardware through the full development lifecycle.

Design Rugged Physical Systems

• Design enclosures, mounts, assemblies, packaging, wiring, and mechanical integration.
• Integrate sensors, electronics, power systems, connectors, antennas, and other components.
• Design hardware intended for demanding operational environments.

Design for Manufacturing

• Apply DFM/DFA principles to move hardware from prototype toward repeatable production.
• Make design decisions around tolerances, materials, manufacturing processes, assembly, inspection, servicing, cost, and quality.
• Design hardware that can be manufactured, assembled, installed, serviced, and scaled reliably.

Design to Requirements & Standards

• Translate system and engineering requirements into physical design decisions.
• Incorporate applicable military, commercial, safety, environmental, electrical, and mechanical standards.
• Develop appropriate verification and qualification approaches.
• Develop Production-Ready Designs

Requirements

• Experience designing, building, and testing electromechanical products.
• Strong mechanical design fundamentals.
• Experience integrating sensors, electronics, power, wiring, connectors, and other electrical components.
• Ability to read mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and component datasheets.

Preferred

• Experience with ruggedized, vehicle-mounted, tactical, industrial, aerospace, automotive, or robotics hardware.
• Experience with wire harnesses, connectors, grounding/bonding, and power distribution.
• Experience taking hardware from prototype through production and fielding.
• Experience with applicable MIL-STDs and commercial standards such as SAE, ASME, ASTM, IPC, UL, NFPA, ISO, or IEC.
• Experience with environmental qualification, including vibration, shock, temperature, ingress, and EMI/EMC.
• Experience with sensors, embedded electronics, RF, or communications hardware.
• Experience working directly with fabrication shops, contract manufacturers, and suppliers.
• Active security clearance or ability to obtain one.

About The Role

• Rune builds logistics and sustainment technology for the U.S. military. Our systems combine software, communications, sensors, electronics, and hardware deployed in demanding operational environments.
• We are looking for a hands-on Electromechanical Engineer who can design, build, integrate, test, and manufacture rugged physical systems.
• This person should be comfortable moving between CAD, engineering drawings, schematics, datasheets, the shop, the bench, manufacturers, vehicles, and the field.

Create and maintain

• 3D CAD
• Engineering drawings
• Tolerances
• BOMs
• Wiring documentation
• Assembly documentation
• Manufacturing documentation

Work Directly With Manufacturing

• Partner directly with suppliers, fabrication shops, and contract manufacturers.
• Select appropriate manufacturing processes.
• Resolve manufacturing and integration issues.
• Transition designs from engineering prototypes into production.

Build, Test & Field

• Personally prototype, fabricate, integrate, troubleshoot, qualify, install, and evaluate hardware.
• Work in the lab and potentially in field environments.
• Diagnose failures across mechanical and electrical boundaries.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD, engineering drawings, tolerancing, and manufacturing documentation.
• Demonstrated experience applying DFM/DFA to move hardware from prototype toward repeatable production.
• Hands-on prototyping and fabrication experience.
• Experience troubleshooting failures across mechanical and electrical boundaries.
• Experience designing hardware to applicable engineering standards and translating requirements into design and verification decisions.
• Ability to take an incomplete concept and turn it into working hardware.
