Key responsibilities

• Lead design, fabrication, and qualification of MIL‑STD/MIL‑DTL connectors from concept through LRIP.
• Translate emerging technology requirements into testable connector prototypes.
• Provide engineering solutions for custom fabrication, including armored steel plating and specialized cabling.
• Oversee and troubleshoot metal‑working and injection‑molding processes.
• Partner with field organizations and testing centers to refine designs before full‑rate production.
• Ensure components meet MIL‑STD/MIL‑DTL specifications, tolerances, and test requirements.
• Support C3 upgrade programs by accelerating connector design and delivery timelines.
• Maintain technical drawings, design packages, and quality/process documentation.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with quality, production, and program stakeholders.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field (or equivalent hands‑on experience).
• Active SECRET clearance preferred or willingness to obtain one.
• Experience owning design and fabrication of electrical connectors, ideally MIL‑STD/MIL‑DTL, from concept to production release.
• Familiarity with metal work and injection molding processes for informed design‑for‑manufacturability decisions.
• Background in rapid prototyping or low‑rate initial production, preferably in a defense or government contracting environment.
• Ability to interpret and apply military specifications (MIL‑STD, MIL‑DTL) to buildable designs.
