Job Description & How to Apply Below

We are an aerospace and robotics engineering company focused on the development of advanced autonomous unmanned aerial systems for precision data capture, inspection, mapping, and industrial surveying applications. Our integrated platforms combine aircraft structures, embedded systems, sensor payloads, and flight software to deliver high-accuracy performance in complex operational environments including infrastructure, energy, utilities, and government-related use cases.

We design and manufacture full-stack UAV systems in-house, including airframes, mechanical structures, electronics integration, and payload subsystems.

The Role

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer with strong design experience to support the development of next-generation UAV platforms covering airframe design, structural analysis, materials selection, payload integration, and cross-functional product development.

The ideal candidate has a background in mechanical or aerospace engineering and experience working with lightweight structures, robotics, unmanned systems, or complex electro‑mechanical products.

You will contribute directly to the design, prototyping, testing, and refinement of flight‑ready UAV systems used in real‑world industrial applications.

What You’ll Do
  • Design UAV airframes and mechanical subsystems using CAD tools (e.g., Solid Works or equivalent)
  • Develop and iterate lightweight composite and polymer‑based structures for high stiffness and durability
  • Perform structural analysis (FEA) for vibration, fatigue, impact, and operational load cases
  • Optimize designs for weight, manufacturability, structural performance, and integration efficiency
  • Integrate sensors, payloads, and onboard electronics into UAV platforms
  • Collaborate with electrical, software, and systems teams to ensure mechanical‑electrical compatibility
  • Design mounting systems, vibration isolation solutions, and thermal management features
  • Support integration of flight electronics, power systems, and onboard compute modules
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
  • 3+ years of experience in mechanical design, aerospace, robotics, or UAV systems
  • Strong proficiency in CAD software (Solid Works or equivalent)
  • Experience with structural analysis (FEA) and design validation
  • Understanding of mechanical and electrical system integration
  • Hands‑on experience with prototyping, assembly, and testing
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with attention to detail
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in UAV, aerospace, robotics, or related high‑tech hardware industries
  • Familiarity with composite structures and manufacturing processes
  • Experience with engineered polymers and additive manufacturing techniques
  • Knowledge of vibration isolation and precision payload integration
  • Exposure to flight testing or aerodynamic considerations
  • Experience in fast‑paced, iterative hardware development environments
