Key responsibilities include reviewing discrepancy documents, developing repair dispositions, providing on-site technical support, assisting in determining if discrepancies are engineering-related or workmanship issues, and initiating design and process changes to correct design errors.

The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, with 5+ years of experience in MRB type design and/or repair of aircraft structures & systems. They will also have working knowledge of Aircraft structure and aircraft systems, materials, fasteners, production methods, corrosion prevention, production hand tools, non-destructive testing, and Standard Repair Methods (SRM).

Additional requirements include proficiency in Microsoft Office Suites (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and Lotus Notes, ability to write clear, concise, and easily understandable step-by-step rework, repair, and system troubleshooting instructions, and ability to create rework/repair drawings using CATIA, PowerPoint, Word, or hand-drawn sketches.

The successful candidate will be able to work independently or within a team-oriented environment, effectively communicate with all MRB team members and with all levels throughout the organisation, and be willing to travel to the shop floor or adjacent buildings to investigate problems on the aircraft or in production areas.

As a key contributor on the Mechanical Engineering team, you will design and develop high-performance structural components from concept through production release.

You'll work cross-functionally to ensure structural integrity, manufacturability, and system integration across one of the most advanced autonomous aircraft platforms being built today.

This role is ideal for an aerospace mechanical engineer who thrives in hands-on design environments and is eager to take increasing ownership of flight-critical designs.

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop structural components and assemblies for Shield AI's next-generation UAV platform, supporting both primary and secondary aircraft structures.

• Execute all stages of the design lifecycle including conceptual development, initial CAD modeling, detailed design, and drawing release.

• Perform hand calculations for stress or strain with limited basic FEA analysis, with guidance from senior engineers as needed.

• Collaborate closely with aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, payload, and manufacturing teams to support system integration across airframe interfaces.

• Support structural validation efforts including coupon testing, subcomponent testing, and system-level verification.

• Generate high-quality design documentation, drawings, interface definitions, and analysis reports in compliance with aerospace standards.

• Partner with manufacturing and flight test teams to resolve build issues and support hardware through test and deployment.

• Participate in design reviews and technical discussions, presenting work clearly and incorporating feedback effectively.

• Continuously improve personal technical depth in structural layout, joints, fasteners, tolerancing, and structural optimization.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline.

• 4–5+ years of experience in aircraft structural design or closely related aerospace structures.

• Experience designing and releasing structural components in development or production environments.

• Working knowledge of composite and metallic structures, including fasteners, bonded joints, and load paths.

• Proficiency in CAD tools (NX, CATIA, SolidWorks, or similar).

• Understanding of GD&T, tolerance stackups, and DFMA principles.

• Strong written and verbal technical communication skills.

• Demonstrated ability to operate in fast-paced, high-ownership engineering environments

Preferences:

• M.S. degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering.

• Experience supporting UAV, DoD, or aerospace vehicle programs.

• Familiarity with aerospace standards (MIL-STD, ASME Y14.5, FAA).

• Experience supporting hardware through test, failure analysis, and design iteration.

• Exposure to composite design and manufacturing methods.

• Experience using FEA tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, NASTRAN, or similar) for linear structural analysis
