Electromechanical Engineer

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.

The core expectation is simple:

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

Drive physical design, electromechanical integration, prototyping, DFM/DFA, testing, qualification, and manufacturing maturation.

Take ownership of hardware through the full development lifecycle.

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.

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.

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.

Create and maintain:

3D CAD

Engineering drawings

Tolerances

BOMs

Wiring documentation

Assembly documentation

Manufacturing documentation

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.

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.

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.
