    UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities, and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits, and natural beauty.

    The Electronic and Photonic Systems team at the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington is hiring – see yourself at APL
    The Applied Physics Laboratory is a research unit at the University of Washington.

    Our research expertise is in ocean physics and engineering, ocean and medical acoustics, polar science, environmental remote sensing, and signal processing.

    Our work takes place not only on the University of Washington campus and medical centers, but in field locations around the world – at sea, in the air, and on polar ice caps.

    We apply rigorous scientific inquiry and engineering excellence in pursuit of solutions to important problems for the good of our region, nation, and world.

    Diversity is a core value at the University of Washington and the Applied Physics Laboratory shares this commitment. We are focused on building and sustaining an inclusive and equitable research environment for all students, staff, and collaborators.

    We believe every member of our team enriches our community by exposing us to a broad range of ways to understand and engage with the world, identify challenges, and discover, design, and deliver solutions.

    APL is hiring a Principal Mechanical Engineer to work on cutting-edge applied ocean projects for a diverse set of customers and applications.

    The successful candidate will be part of an integrated engineering team that designs, builds, installs, operates, and maintains complex electrical/mechanical systems to solve challenging problems in novel ways.

    The incumbent hired will be responsible for the mechanical design, testing, and production of highly integrated ocean instrumentation packages. This position will be responsible for analyzing requirements, presenting material at formal design reviews, and documenting designed systems.

    The incumbent must have advanced knowledge of the complexities and requirements of designing, documenting, fabricating, assembling, and testing systems to have the reliability and ruggedness necessary to be installed and operated for decades in harsh and demanding environments with very little maintenance.

    Environmental considerations in designing deep sea pressure housings include thermal heat dissipation, external pressure, corrosion, load analysis, and overall mechanical strength.

    The candidate must create unique solutions to meet all the technical requirements and for safety deploying the system from a ship.

    The Principal Mechanical Engineer has full technical responsibility for specific aspects (sub-projects or tasks) of the larger program.

    The incumbent interacts with the programs' Program Managers and the programs' sponsors to gather requirements, to confer throughout the design, fabrication, and testing process, and also onsite/at sea with the PM or sponsor as the systems are deployed.


    Mechanical Engineering Design & Analysis:
    Analyze system mechanical requirements to ensure designs are suitable for the ship deployment and installation environment.
    Use 3D CAD software packages to design subsea pressure housings to survive system life under extreme pressures.
    Design mechanical frames to be deployed using oceanographic ships, winches, acoustic releases, and ROVs.
    Design cable termination systems to allow for the deployment of equipment attached to cables using cable installation ships.
    Design deep water moored buoy systems including buoyance packages, anchor systems, cable specification, and terminations.
    Analyze the performance of deep-water buoy systems for stability under various water column velocity conditions.
    Analyze material suitability for deployed environments considering galvanic and chemical corrosion.
    Work with deployment ship staff to design detailed and safe installation procedures for mechanical systems.
    Perform stress and thermal analysis using both analysis software and empirical equations.
    Supervise CAD engineers to ensure the manufacturing packages are accurate.

    Direct the APL Machine Shop and outside vendors in the fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing of systems and parts.

    As needed, test prototypes and first-article units to verify they meet requirements.
    Specify and procure commercial off-the-shelf mechanical materials, parts, and assemblies.
    Test parts and final assemblies to ensure they meet the overall system requirements and are built to print.
    Oversee installation of oceanographic equipment in the field, performing complicated operations and maintenance in the field.


    Project Management:
    Develop, and then implement the plan for engineering-related work, including management of timeline, budget, and schedule of deliverables.

    feasibility of design, engineering, or fabrication concepts; use of alternative engineering approaches; Create and present detailed mechanical subsystem designs at programmatic reviews.

    Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering field and 8 or more years of experience designing electrical mechanical systems.

    Eligible to obtain and maintain a federal security clearance.
    SolidWorks solid modeling computer-aided design.
    Proficient in the creation of mechanical drawings.
    Ability to work with machine shop technicians to monitor part fabrication.
    Heat transfer in electronics systems.
    Ability to create assembly documentation.
    Simulation of mechanical systems using computer tools.
    o Documentation – to maintain and expand system procedures and configuration control.

    o Communication skills – to support all members of the team on a daily basis and to be able to effectively work in high-pressure situations dealing with at-sea ship operations or quickly troubleshooting systems in collaboration with all members of the diverse team.

    System requirements analysis.
    Equivalent education/experience will substitute for all minimum qualifications except when there are legal requirements, such as a license/certification/registration.
    S. citizen and successfully obtain and continue to maintain a Department of Defense (DOD) Personnel Security Clearance.

    The process for obtaining a DOD Security Clearance can be view using the following links:
