Hands-on Drone Design Engineer: CAD to Prototyping

OneSec; Fatih; On-site; TRY 120,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

OneSec is developing AI-powered delivery drones and seeks a hands-on Drone Design Engineer to design, prototype, assemble, and test mechanical components for autonomous drones. You will turn concepts into SolidWorks models, produce parts via 3D printing, and build physical prototypes.

The role combines CAD design with practical workshop work, collaborating with propulsion, electronics, and flight-control engineers to iterate on lightweight, manufacturable drone hardware.

Qualifications

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics, Product Design or related field.
• Strong SolidWorks CAD skills.
• Experience designing parts that were manufactured and assembled.
• Familiarity with FDM or resin 3D printing and rapid prototyping.
• Comfortable using workshop tools such as drills, Dremels, saws, adhesives, and hand tools.

Responsibilities

• Design mechanical parts and assemblies for autonomous delivery drones
• Create detailed 3D models and technical drawings in SolidWorks
• Design airframe components, mounts, enclosures, payload mechanisms, flaps, and propulsion-system interfaces
• Produce prototypes using FDM and resin 3D printing, CNC machining, composites, and other fabrication methods
• Assemble, modify, repair, and test physical drone prototypes
• Select suitable materials, fasteners, bearings, adhesives, and manufacturing processes
• Improve designs for weight, strength, stiffness, manufacturability, and ease of assembly
• Investigate mechanical failures and rapidly redesign components
• Work closely with propulsion, electronics, embedded-software, and flight-control engineers
• Maintain and improve CAD assemblies, drawings, and mechanical documentation
