Mechanical Engineer – Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)

We’re building next-generation unmanned aircraft and aerospace systems that push the limits of autonomy, performance, and reliability. Our team tackles complex, real-world challenges across defense, aviation, and space—and we’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer who thrives in fast-moving, high-impact environments.

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop mechanical systems for UAS, weapon systems, and aerospace vehicles (airframes, propulsion, control surfaces, landing gear, payloads)

• Build and test prototypes through ground and flight testing

• Perform structural, thermal, stress, fatigue, and failure analyses

• Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, avionics, and software teams

• Select and optimize lightweight, high-performance materials

• Support system integration, maintenance procedures, and lifecycle reliability

• Contribute to R&D efforts in autonomy, additive manufacturing, and advanced composites

• Produce detailed design documentation, specifications, and test reports

• Ensure compliance with aerospace and regulatory standards

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field

• 3–7 years of experience in aerospace mechanical systems

• 2+ years working with unmanned aircraft, weapon systems, or similar platforms

• Strong CAD experience (SolidWorks or similar)

• Proficiency with GD&T, DFM, tooling design

• Experience with FEA, CFD, and simulation tools

• Solid understanding of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, structures, and aerodynamics

• Familiarity with aerospace manufacturing processes (including composites and 3D printing)

• Knowledge of aerospace standards (e.g., DO-160, AS9100) is a plus

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
