World-Record Chasing Mechanical Engineer (Drones & AI)

OneSec; Fatih; On-site; TRY 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

OneSec in Turkey is seeking a hands-on Mechanical/Aerospace engineer to own key parts of the drone's mechanical design. You will work with SolidWorks to optimize airframe, propulsion interfaces, battery structures, and lightweight components, while enabling rapid iteration through 3D printing and workshop assembly.

This role involves testing, analyzing failures, and close collaboration with electrical and flight-control teams, with a unique chance to contribute toward a world-record flight.

Qualifications

• Bachelor-level degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics or related field.
• SolidWorks CAD skills with proven design experience for manufacturable parts.
• Experience designing parts that were physically manufactured and assembled.
• Familiarity with 3D printing and rapid prototyping.
• Comfort using workshop tools (drills, Dremels, saws, adhesives, hand tools).
• Strong understanding of mechanical design, materials, fasteners, tolerances and loads.
• Experience with lightweight structures, composites, drones, aircraft or robotics is a plus.
• Strong problem-solving and hands-on approach.

Responsibilities

• Design and optimize the drone's mechanical structure in SolidWorks.
• Reduce weight while maintaining strength and stiffness.
• Design mounts, enclosures, battery structures, landing components, and interfaces.
• Produce parts using 3D printing, CNC machining and rapid prototyping.
• Assemble, modify and repair prototypes in the workshop.
• Conduct structural, vibration, endurance and flight-related tests.
• Analyze failures and rapidly redesign components based on test results.
• Collaborate with electrical, propulsion and flight-control engineers.
• Help prepare the aircraft for a world-record flight attempt.
