About This Opportunity

Overview

We are building a safety-critical electromechanical system integrated into a small UAV platform. This role owns the end-to-end mechanical design of ruggedized, field-deployed hardware, including structural design, internal mechanisms, and mechanical safety architecture.

The system must reliably withstand vibration, shock, environmental exposure, and handling while maintaining strict fail-safe behavior across all operating states.

You will be responsible for taking mechanical systems from concept through CAD, prototyping, validation testing, and production handoff in a fast-iteration, small-team engineering environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design mechanical assemblies including housings, internal structures, and actuation/safety mechanisms using parametric CAD tools.
  • Develop mechanical safety architecture in collaboration with electrical and software teams (interlocks, fail-safe geometry, m...
