Mechanical Engineer

Are you looking to work for an innovative aerospace technology company that’s doing work with real-world, life-saving impact?

This is a rare opportunity to work on innovative, mission-critical hardware that not only pushes technical boundaries but also has meaningful, real-world impact in the defense space. You’d play a key role working as a mechanical engineer within a well-funded and fast-moving organization.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Design electromechanical systems for UAS platforms using SolidWorks
• Prototype, test, and refine designs, preparing them for scalable manufacturing
• Develop and build production tools, fixtures, and automation jigs to support manufacturing operations
• Manage engineering drawings, revisions, and documentation throughout the product lifecycle
• Maintain and organize product data within the PDMS, ensuring accuracy and traceability
• Identify, evaluate, and qualify new vendors and manufacturing partners
• Create assembly procedures, inspection and test procedures, test reports, and product requirements documentation
• Participate directly in the NPI process, including hands on hardware builds and system bring up
• Contribute to the design, build, and flight testing of advanced drone platforms

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree (B.S.) in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.
• 3\+ years of industry experience in a design-focused engineering role.
• Demonstrated excellence in problem-solving, with strong written and verbal communication skills.
• 3\+ years of hands-on experience with SolidWorks or comparable CAD platforms (e.g., NX, Creo, AutoCAD).
• Proven ability to drive system-level architecture decisions and support full lifecycle product development through strong systems engineering principles.
• Proven ability to perform FEA analysis, including modal, thermal and aerodynamic analysis.
• Proven experience designing for high-rate production.

Additional Desired Qualifications

• Experience with BLDC motor system design, integration, and validation
• Proficiency in PCB layout, design, and component placement for electromechanical systems
• Background in flexible PCB design and reliable cable routing for dynamic or motion critical assemblies
• Industry experience in robotics, UAVs/drones, autonomous systems, or similar hardware driven environments
• Familiarity with camera modules, imaging systems, and optical component integration
• Experience collaborating with electrical engineering teams to support PCBA layout, DFM/DFX, and production from a mechanical standpoint
• Ability to develop microcontroller based tools or fixtures for testing, production support, or hardware bring up
• Knowledge of structural composite materials (carbon fiber, fiberglass) and related mold or tooling design
• Experience performing or interpreting analyses such as thermal, aerodynamic, or transient vibration simulation
• Understanding of composite layup processes and design for manufacturability in composite structures
