Hands-On Mechanical Engineer:
Robotics & Advanced Systems

Position Summary:
Design, Build, and Deploy Cutting-Edge Tech

Join a veteran-owned technology leader whose core mission is "Supporting Those Who Serve" in Public Safety, Government, and Defense. We are seeking a full-time,
hands-on Mechanical Engineer to be a core contributor to the development of our advanced robotics, drones, and electromechanical systems in Tampa, FL

This role is for an engineer who thrives outside of the cubicle—it demands both deep CAD proficiency and active,
cross-functional collaboration in the lab. You'll move beyond traditional design into prototyping, assembly, system integration, and even field-testing the final product.

You will manage the mechanical lifecycle from concept to deployment:

Mechanical Design & Engineering

• Design & Development: Create and develop robust mechanical systems using CAD software (e.g., Solid Works, Fusion 360).
• Validation: Perform mechanical simulations and design validation; optimize components for performance and manufacturability.

Prototype Assembly & Integration

• Hands-On Build: Directly build and assemble mechanical systems and integrate basic electrical components.
• Troubleshooting: Work hands-on with sensors, actuators, PCBs, and actively troubleshoot electromechanical systems alongside electrical and software teams.

Field Deployment & Technical Support

• Testing & Demos:
  Pilot drones and robotic systems during critical field testing, demos, and training exercises.
• Public Engagement: Assist with setup, teardown, and engaging with the public during live demonstrations and trade shows (willingness to travel up to 25% is preferred).

Sourcing & Documentation

• Sourcing: Source and evaluate materials, components, and collaborate with suppliers.
• Documentation: Maintain detailed design files, version tracking, and write/update assembly procedures and technical documents.

• Experience: 2+ years of professional experience in mechanical engineering or a related field.
• Software:
  Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., Solid Works, Fusion 360).
• Skills: Proven experience in prototyping, fabrication, and hands-on assembly
  .
• Knowledge: Basic knowledge of electrical interfaces, PCBs, and mechatronic systems
  ; strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.

• Must be willing to work 100% in-person in Tampa, FL
  .
• Ability to pass a background check and drug screening.

• Experience in robotics, drones, or advanced electromechanical systems
  .
• Familiarity with 3D printing, CNC machining, and rapid prototyping
  .
• Ability to solder wires and PCBs.
• Understanding of RF systems, LoRa, or embedded electronics.

• Compensation: Competitive salary (not specified, but competitive for the Tampa area).
• Health: Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Security: 401(k) retirement plan and Paid Time Off (PTO).
• Environment: Work on cutting-edge technology in a collaborative, modern environment.
