About the Role
Design, integrate, and advance cutting‑edge UAS technologies from concept through production. This role offers early technical ownership and the opportunity to drive mechanical designs across the full system lifecycle. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers and program leaders in a fast‑paced, high‑impact environment while maintaining a hands‑on, build‑focused approach to developing real‑world systems.
Qualifications:
Required:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.
2–7 years of engineering experience, with preference for defense, aerospace, or adjacent industries.
Working knowledge of Creo and/or SolidWorks for mechanical design and documentation.
Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals with the ability and desire to learn complex systems.
Hands‑on, adaptable mindset with demonstrated initiative and ownership.
Ability to work effectively in a fast‑paced environment with evolving requirements.
Preferred:
Exposure to missile systems, UAS, or defense programs.
Experience with composites, injection molding, rapid prototyping, or similar manufacturing methods.
Familiarity with MIL‑STD testing, qualification, or environmental requirements.
Interest in actuation systems, servos, and electro‑mechanical mechanisms.
Experience working in small teams, startups, or skunkworks‑style environments.
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues efficiently.
High level of accuracy and attention to detail in design and documentation.
Ability to perform under pressure and meet tight schedules and deadlines.
Strong collaboration and teamwork skills with a positive, can‑do attitude.
Effective time management, multi‑tasking, and prioritization skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication abilities.
Strong organizational and planning skills.
Responsibilities
Support airframe, launcher, and mechanical subsystem design for missile and UAS platforms.
Contribute to the structural and mechanical design of critical components, including airframes and launch systems, ensuring compliance with performance, safety, reliability, and durability requirements.
Design lightweight, robust structures optimized for aerodynamic efficiency and operational environments.
Support mechanical integration of gimbal systems, propulsion units, guidance hardware, and structural components, ensuring alignment, tolerance control, and interface compatibility.
Create and maintain 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, and engineering documentation throughout the product lifecycle.
Participate in rapid prototyping, direct builds, and iterative design cycles, including fit checks and design refinement based on testing and feedback.
Assist with environmental, vibration, shock, and qualification testing activities.
Analyze test data and implement design improvements and corrective actions.
Work closely with electrical, systems, software, and test engineers in a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment.
Gradually assume increasing technical ownership and leadership responsibilities as programs mature, including guiding design decisions and mentoring junior engineers.
