Part Time Programmer Jobs in Hawaii (NOW HIRING)

Alutiiq Information Management, LLC a subsidiary of Alutiiq, LLC is seeking a motivated and talented Mechanical Engineer II to join our team supporting the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific's RESTORE (Reverse Engineering, Science, and Technology for Obsolescence, Restoration, and Evaluation) laboratory. This is a part-time position. In this role, you will apply your foundational knowledge of mechanical, materials, or chemical engineering to support critical research, development, and reverse engineering of military Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) systems.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to national defense, work with cutting-edge technology including advanced manufacturing and robotics, and grow your engineering skills in a dynamic, hands-on environment. Assist in the design, development, and testing of mechanical and electro-mechanical systems and components. Utilize Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) to create and modify 2D drawings and 3D models for parts and assemblies

Support reverse engineering efforts for obsolete components by using precision measurement tools, laser scanners, and coordinate measuring machines. Perform basic engineering analysis, including thermal (CFD) and structural (FEA) simulations, under the guidance of senior engineers. Contribute to the development of Technical Data Packages (TDP) and manufacturing instructions.

Support the evaluation and testing of various materials-including polymers, metals, powders, and binding agents-for use in advanced manufacturing and prototyping. Assist in developing and executing material testing plans and analyzing results for corrosion prevention, failure analysis, and design optimization. Participate in the design and refinement of chemical post-processing and coating methods for prototypes.

Prepare technical reports, document findings, and present data to the project team. Adhere to all safety, quality, and security protocols in laboratory and field environments. Payrate: $95,000 to $115,000 AnnuallyB.S
