Peerless is searching for a skilled Chief Engineer Mechanical/Electrical (ME/EE) to grow and lead a team of mechanical and electrical engineers designing and engineering advanced solutions for DoD/DoW. The selected candidate will contribute to the design, development, integration, and testing of complex mechanical and electrical systems supporting defense research, prototyping, and specialized test infrastructure. The Chief Engineer ME/EE will participate in multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop mechanical solutions supporting mission systems, facilities, and prototype hardware. Responsibilities include carrying designs through the full engineering lifecycle—from concept development and analysis through fabrication, integration, and testing. This position is on-site at Peerless Headquarters near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB).
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, or related technical discipline
Minimum 12+ years of experience performing design, development, prototyping, fabrication, and testing of mechanical/electrical parts and assemblies including engineering analysis
Experience with Product Data Management (PDM) tools (e.g. Creo Parametric / Schematics, SolidWorks, etc.) for 2D/3D Computer Aided Design (CAD), drawings, Bill of Materials (BOM), version and change management
Experience with FEA and CFD tools (e.g., ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, Flow Simulation, or equivalent)
Preferred Qualifications
Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, or related technical discipline
Experience with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) environments (e.g. PTC Windchill, Teamcenter, AutoDesk, etc.)
Experience integrating relevant Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) sensors, modalities, and systems (e.g. Electro-Optical and Infrared (EO/IR), Synthetic Aperture Radar and Moving Target Indication (SAR/MTI), Radio Frequency (RF), etc.)
