CAD Engineer

Position: CAD EngineerCompany: Defense and Commercial Unmanned Aerial SystemsThis role is built for a hands-on, detail-oriented engineer who thrives at the intersection of design, prototyping, and real-world manufacturing. You will play a key role in bringing advanced aerial platforms and payload integrations to life, from concept through production.What You'll Do:Design and iterate mechanical parts and assemblies using CAD toolsPrepare models and files for manufacturing, including CNC, sheet metal, and fabricationOperate and maintain in-house 3D printing for rapid prototypingDevelop complete Technical Data Packages (TDPs) with detailed drawings and tolerancesCollaborate with systems, aero, and production teams to ensure performance, fit, and structural integrityCoordinate with external vendors to produce high-quality componentsWhat We're Looking For:Strong proficiency in Onshape and/or SolidWorks (or the ability to ramp quickly)Experience with additive manufacturing and preparing print-ready filesProven ability to create manufacturing-ready documentation and TDPsBackground working with external vendors for CNC machining and custom fabricationSolid mechanical aptitude and a bias toward getting things builtNice to Have:Experience in Unmanned Aerial Systems, drones, or aerospace platformsUnderstanding of aerodynamic design, weight/balance constraints, or CFDExposure to composites (carbon fiber, fiberglass) and advanced manufacturingPayload integration experience (EO/IR, radar, telemetry systems)Familiarity with advanced propulsion or power systems (hybrid-electric, hydrogen, solar)CNC machining or toolpath programming experienceIf you want to work on mission-critical platforms and highly engineered systems, lets talk.We move fast.
