Energy Systems Mechanical Engineer

Energy Systems Mechanical Engineer

The Opportunity: 

What if you could use your engineering skills to help build the roadmap to higher energy and climate resilience for the DoD? As a mechanical engineer focusing on energy system evaluation, you understand the intricacy involved with developing innovative solutions that are able to effectively integrate with existing complex mechanical systems. That knowledge is key when it comes to identifying vulnerabilities in the infrastructure that serves critical missions and establishing energy resilience solutions that work toward both enhancing mission assurance and incorporating carbon pollution-free technologies. We’re looking for an engineer to aid in these efforts who has a background in energy systems and who can provide meaningful insights into mechanical system assessment, development, and improvement projects.

 

Our team supports the DoD in its efforts to provide mission readiness through energy resilience. Mission readiness includes not only the personnel that support critical platforms but also the equipment that supports mission execution. The transition from fossil fuel to electric HVAC systems is imperative to meeting goals. The team you'll join specializes in identifying energy resilience gaps and then proposing and developing energy projects that meet mission requirements to fill those gaps. That’s why we need you, a mechanical engineer with experience in energy system evaluation and project development to help us provide recommendations on how to make energy systems more resilient, and eventually, change the way the DoD makes energy decisions. You will be working with military installations to evaluate energy vulnerabilities and propose projects relating to all aspects of energy and climate resiliency, including electrical, mechanical, water, fuel, and communications, to ensure that critical systems meet their respective requirements. You’ll also directly impact the energy sector by exploring the possibility of utilizing renewable energy over traditional generation types. This is a chance to use your problem-solving expertise while gaining experience in installation energy. Join us and take on exciting challenges in the DoD as we transform the definition of resilience. This position will require travel between 25-50% of the time.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
