Mechanical Design Engineer

SummaryThe Senior Mechanical Design Engineer will lead the development of lightweight, high-performance systems and subsystems for UAS, focusing on advanced CAD design, assembly management, and integration of complex components. Responsibilities include managing large assemblies, optimizing aerodynamic efficiency, applying FEA and prototyping to ensure durability and manufacturability, and validating designs through testing. The role requires ownership of system requirements, collaboration with cross-functional teams and suppliers, and support during production and sustainment phases. Qualifications include a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, 6+ years of experience in mechanical design, strong CAD skills (SolidWorks preferred), and experience with system integration, configuration control, and potentially UAV propulsion. The role demands innovation, strong communication, and proactive project ownership, with minimal oversight, to deliver market-leading UAS designs for challenging environments.
