• Interface with suppliers for components and tooling; manage vendor communications
• Collaborate closely with controls and avionics teams to integrate mechanical and electrical systems
• Support ground and flight test campaigns, including data collection and failure analysis

Required Qualifications

• BS in Mechanical Engineering (MS preferred)
• 3+ years of mechanical design experience—ideally in aerospace or defense environments
• Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks/Creo) and FEA tools (ANSYS/NASTRAN)
• Strong grasp of GD&T, material properties, and manufacturing processes
• Proven track record of taking hardware through prototype, test, and flight
• US Citizen or Green Card holder (ITAR‑controlled work)

Preferred Skills:

• Prior work on UAVs or guided airdrop systems
• Active or eligible for Department of Defense security clearance

Citizenship

Due to ITAR regulations and sponsor requirements, applicants must be U.S. Citizens or Green Card holders.
