Mechanical Engineering

Built for Mission Success—Designed for Real-World Performance

Mechanical engineering that bridges precision, manufacturability, and operational reliability.

Invariant’s mechanical engineering team delivers end-to-end solutions from concept to prototype to fielded system. Leveraging small batch prototyping capabilities, our team designs and manufactures ruggedized components for complex defense systems—ensuring form, function, and manufacturability align. Using SolidWorks for design, Ansys and LS-DYNA for analysis, and Mastercam for production, we rapidly create components from ferrous and non-ferrous materials, sheet metal, and welded assemblies. Our engineers support system integration and testing, enabling faster iteration, tighter tolerances, and seamless fit across platforms.

Capabilities Include:

  • Prototyping, LRIP, and manufacturable design for EO/IR and laser systems
  • Solid modeling, thermal/structural analysis, and computational fluid dynamics
  • Sheet metal fabrication and MIG/TIG welding for system enclosures and mounts
  • Small batch machining using high-speed 5-axis CNC, lathes, and vertical mills
  • 3D scanning and reverse engineering for legacy component replication
  • System integration support for ground systems, launcher structures, and RWS
