You will work alongside our Principal Mechanical Engineer.\nThis is a generalist role. We do not have the headcount yet to split airframe, mechanisms, GSE, and launcher across separate engineers, and we are not trying to. The right person reaches across all of it, makes the calls that need making, and pulls in deeper analysis or outside help where the problem warrants it.\nEvery design decision is also a unit-cost decision, and we expect you to design accordingly.\nWhat You'll Do\nBe a Responsible Engineer for a major subsystem of the interceptor. Work may include primary and secondary structures, mating interfaces with propulsion, seekers, avionics, GNC, recovery, and mechanisms.\nTake parts from CAD to prototype to proven flight hardware. Specify, source, machine, fabricate, inspect, and assemble alongside the technician team.\nDesign and build the launcher and the ground equipment the program runs on: handling fixtures, transport cradles, environmental enclosures, and the systems that mate the vehicle to the rail.\nRun vehicle integration, environmental test, and ground and flight test campaigns. Reduce data, close out anomalies, and feed the lessons back into the design.\nSelect materials, processes, and joining methods with cost and producibility top of mind. Pick the simplest solution that meets the requirement.\nCoordinate with aero on outer mold line implementation, with propulsion on case and nozzle integration, with avionics on tray and harness routing, with the seeker team on optical-package interfaces, and with the Control Actuation System Engineer on fin actuator integration into the airframe: hinge supports, OML cutouts, and sealing.\nSkills We're Hiring For\nB.S. in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related engineering. M.S. welcome.\n6+ years of hands-on mechanical design of flight structures or similarly mission critical systems.\nStrong structural intuition. Know the right time and place for hand calcs, FEM, and ground testing, and pick the minimum needed to safely size your structure in the allotted timeframe.\nFluency in metallic or composite design, analysis, and manufacturing.\nModern CAD and PDM fluency. We use NX and Teamcenter.\nProficiency with GD&T and a strong eye for manufacturability in part design.\nHands-on builder posture. Comfortable on the shop floor, at a test stand, and at a vendor.\nExcellent cross disciplinary communication skills.\nU.S. Person, eligible to obtain a U.S. SECRET security clearance.\nBonus Points For\nTactical missile, munition, or interceptor program experience.\nLauncher, canister, or launch-tube design experience.\nGSE and handling-equipment design at any scale.\nHands-on safety record working with energetic and hazardous materials.\nOut-of-domain background that gives you practical, first-principles intuition (automotive, motorsports, robotics, eVTOL, hobbyist high-power rocketry). We actively want people who can solve vehicle problems without dragging legacy-prime habits with them.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3339,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Military","Defense Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T02:12:12Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":31,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.704,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":158,"expected_fill_days":126,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/furientis-mechanical-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/furientis-mechanical-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T17:42:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20258,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673247},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673247"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffurientis-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffurientis-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffurientis-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/furientis-mechanical-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffurientis-mechanical-engineer"}]}
