Your primary responsibilities will include executing rapid evaluation of engineering concepts in a wide range of fields, identifying partners in industry to engage with, and managing early vendor relationships. You will also perform trade studies and physics-based analysis of blue-sky engineering problems, manage internal and external market research and comparisons, and design, implement, and test of complex electro-mechanical systems.

You will have high-level system ownership with large levels of professional autonomy, leading design reviews, running analysis, visiting vendors, defining and executing hardware test plans, building prototypes, analyzing failures, and transitioning successful projects into production.

You will also support critical hardware demonstrations with customers as needed, travel to test sites as needed, and use first principles physics as a basis for every decision.

In addition to your technical expertise, you will need to demonstrate strong organizational skills, leadership skills, and the ability to read, interpret, and manipulate schematics, wiring diagrams, and layouts.

A Bachelor's degree in an engineering field, or equivalent work experience, is required. A Master's degree or Ph.D. is preferred. You must also be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.

We offer a highly competitive salary range of $142,000-$213,000 USD, plus highly competitive equity grants and top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, income protection, generous time off, family planning and parenting support, mental health resources, professional development, commuter benefits, relocation assistance, and a retirement savings plan.

Here, you will work on core product development for unmanned rotorcraft and complex systems, including but not limited to avionics, batteries, mechanisms, structures, sensors, and payloads. The role requires high ownership and frequent collaboration with other core disciplines focusing primarily on Omen.

Omen is a eVTOL, the first of its kind - ideal candidates are practical, hands-on, and self-starters. High growth potential is possible as well as additional leadership opportunities.

Key responsibilities include:

• Owning and driving mechanical systems and platform development, overseeing the process from initial concept to low-rate production.
• Leading technical efforts to define requirements, propose possible solutions, and establish a methodology for evaluating and verifying mechanical systems.
• Working in close partnership with other disciplines to ensure the electrical, software, and mechanical systems collectively form a reliable, flexible, cost-effective system.
• Spearheading design reviews, conducting analysis, visiting vendors, prototyping, and implementing hardware test plans.
• Actively contributing to the enhancement of team tools, templates, processes, and standards.
• Cultivating a vibrant, positive, dedicated, high-energy, educational, and enjoyable community environment.

In addition to core responsibilities, you will also:

• Balance operational needs across vehicle subsystems while optimizing for development speed, mass, manufacturability, and cost.
• Support critical hardware demonstrations with customers as needed.
• Travel to test sites and vendors as needed.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

• Experience in an immersive technical project (collegiate project teams or professional settings).
• A minimum of 4+ years in a technical engineering role in a professional setting.
• Proven CAD skills (any platform, but NX preferred) and the ability to produce high-quality engineering drawings that comply with common industry standards.
• Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals in structures, fluids, thermal, and mechanisms.
• MATLAB/SIMULINK/SIMSCAPE experience.
• Manufacturing knowledge & experience with machine shops (sheet metal, CNC, etc.).
• Rapid prototyping background (structures/electronics/software) & 3D printing knowledge.
• Proficient in hands-on prototyping (machining, shop tools, welding, soldering).
• BS or MS in mechanical engineering, or equivalent work experience.
• Demonstrated hands-on fabrication skills.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Experience in NX/Teamcenter.
• Ability to integrate electronic components into mechanical designs (motors, controllers, sensors, etc.).
• Solid understanding and application of GD&T.
• Advanced designing skills for CNC machining, composites, sheet metal, injection molding, PCBA integration.
• Outstanding leadership and interpersonal skills.
• Familiarity with running a qualification campaign for flight hardware.
• Familiarity with designing for rugged environments.
• Understanding of MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810G.
• Experience with electro-mechanical and electrical design concepts.
• Experience with Formula SAE, Baja SAE, Design Build Fly, etc.
