Position OverviewWe’re looking for a motivated engineer or engineering student to join our design and manufacturing team on a part-time basis (10-20 hrs/week, schedule mutually agreed). This is a hands‑on role supporting the design, manufacturing, assembly, and integration of our aircraft prototypes. You’ll work directly alongside our engineering team, contributing across the full hardware development lifecycle: from CAD design through fabrication, assembly, and flight‑test preparation.
Key Responsibilities- Support CAD modeling, detailing, and drawing updates for aircraft parts, fixtures, and tooling
- Assist with part fabrication, hardware assembly, and system integration in the shop
- Help design, build, and maintain assembly fixtures, jigs, and manufacturing aids
- Support fit checks, inspection, and build documentation
- Work closely with design and manufacturing engineers to turn drawings into build‑ready hardware
- Document work clearly and flag build or design issues as they come up
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field (degree completion not required)
- Working knowledge of an industry‑standard CAD tool (Solid Edge, CATIA, NX, Solid Works, or similar)
- Aptitude for manufacturing, fabrication, and hands‑on assembly of physical hardware
- Strong attention to detail and a practical, hands‑on problem‑solving mindset
- Comfortable working independently and communicating clearly within a small team
- Available 10‑20 hours/week, schedule to be mutually agreed
- Able to commute regularly to our Atlanta office
- Hands‑on shop experience: machining, composites, 3D printing, sheet metal, or similar fabrication work
- Experience with student build teams (e.g., Formula SAE, AIAA Design/Build/Fly, rocketry, or similar)
- Coursework or project experience in manufacturing processes, GD&T, or tolerance stack‑up
- Passion for next‑gen aviation technologies and startup environments
At Rune we strive to provide a total rewards package that attracts, engages and motivates top talent. Compensation is determined based on job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience.
