Descrizione del lavoro

Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world. The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results.

The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.

Swarm Aero is looking for a motivated, hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to help develop and scale the manufacturing processes behind our next generation of autonomous aircraft.

You’ll work alongside experienced engineers, designers, and technicians to turn aircraft designs into manufacturable hardware. From building prototypes and improving assembly processes to developing tooling and work instructions, you’ll help solve the practical challenges of producing aircraft quickly, efficiently, and reliably.

This is an opportunity to take ownership early, learn by building, and see your engineering work move from concept to aircraft. We’re looking for someone who is curious, resourceful, and excited to solve problems in a fast-paced startup environment.

WHAT SETS YOU APART

You like to build things, take them apart, and figure out how to make them better.
You would rather test an idea with real hardware than spend weeks debating it in a meeting.
You take initiative, ask good questions, and learn quickly from feedback.
You are comfortable working through ambiguity and adapting when a design or process doesn't work as expected.
You care about craftsmanship, quality, and getting the details right.
You want to work on a small team where your contributions are visible and your work has a direct impact.
