Job summary

OneSec is seeking a hands-on R&D Mechanical Engineer to design and build a variable-angle wind tunnel for testing VTOL delivery drones. The wind tunnel will generate controlled wind speeds and directions while the aircraft remains mounted on a force‑measurement test stand.

This is a highly practical role involving CAD design, prototyping, fabrication, assembly, instrumentation, testing, and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
Experience designing and building mechanical systems or test equipment.
Strong CAD skills with SolidWorks or equivalent.

Responsibilities

Design the complete wind tunnel structure and airflow system.
Select and integrate motors, propellers, bearings, actuators, belts, gears, and structural components.
Develop a pivoting mechanism that can automatically change the wind tunnel angle.
Design test stands and fixtures for mounting VTOL aircraft.
Integrate force sensors and other measurement equipment into the test setup.
Create parts and assemblies in SolidWorks.
Produce components using 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet materials, and workshop fabrication.
Assemble, modify, and troubleshoot the physical system.
Conduct airflow, vibration, structural, and mechanical tests.
Work with flight-control and embedded-software engineers to integrate the wind tunnel into verification pipeline.
Improve the system based on test results and data.
