Descripción de la vacante

EDGE is hiring a Mechanical Engineer to design solutions for UAV projects. You will develop mechanical structures, airframes and assemblies, and create 3D CAD models, drawings, and BOMs for prototypes and production.

Join a multidisciplinary R&D environment in Abu Dhabi, collaborating with electronics, software, and manufacturing teams. The role requires a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering and 5+ years in UAV or aerospace design, with experience in composites, CNC, and additive manufacturing.

Formación

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years hands-on mechanical design for UAV/UAS, UGV, or aerospace systems.
• Strong experience in 3D CAD design using SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, CREO, or similar software.
• Practical experience in UAV structural design, airframe development, prototype assembly, and mechanical integration.
• Hands-on experience in composite structures, CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and rapid prototyping.
• Experience supporting prototype manufacturing, mechanical testing, flight testing, and design validation.
• Good understanding of Design for Manufacturing (DFM), GD&T, tolerance analysis, and engineering drawing preparation.
• Experience working in multidisciplinary R&D environments supporting rapid product development and engineering change implementation.

Responsabilidades

• Actively participate in R&D activities for UAV/UAS and UGV systems.
• Design, develop, and optimize mechanical structures, airframes, and mechanical assemblies for unmanned platforms.
• Develop detailed 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) for prototype and production.
• Design lightweight, manufacturable, and structurally efficient mechanical components while considering strength, weight, and reliability.
• Support prototype manufacturing using CNC machining, composite manufacturing, sheet metal fabrication, and additive manufacturing techniques.
• Perform mechanical integration of propulsion systems, payloads, landing gear, avionics mounting, and structural components.
• Support prototype assembly, ground testing, flight testing, troubleshooting, and engineering validation activities.
• Conduct engineering investigations, root cause analysis, and implement corrective design improvements.
• Collaborate with electronics, software, manufacturing, and flight test teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Prepare and maintain engineering documentation including drawings, design reports, assembly instructions, engineering change requests (ECR), and test reports.
