Mechanical Engineer I

You will support the design and integration of mechanical mechanisms for autonomous aircraft, including potential gearbox and power-transmission systems. You will create CAD models and engineering documentation, perform foundational analyses, build and test prototypes, support aircraft integration, and investigate technical issues with guidance from experienced engineers.

Responsibilities

• Support the design and integration of mechanical mechanisms for autonomous aircraft
• Create and update 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, bills of materials, and interface documentation
• Complete component sizing, material selection, tolerance analysis, and mechanical packaging tasks
• Perform foundational structural, kinematic, and machine-design calculations
• Assist with finite element analysis
• Support the selection and integration of gears, bearings, shafts, splines, seals, fasteners, and lubrication components
• Build, inspect, test, and iterate prototype hardware
• Support pre-production builds, aircraft integration, and ground and flight testing
• Investigate technical issues and contribute to root-cause and corrective-action activities
• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and test teams
• Follow engineering, configuration-management, and product-release processes
• Develop plans for assigned tasks and communicate progress and risks

Requirements

• 0–1 years of related experience with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent work experience
• Understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals
• Experience using 3D CAD software through academic, internship, research, student-team, or project work
• Ability to create or interpret basic engineering drawings
• Familiarity with dimensional tolerancing and GD&T fundamentals
• Ability to perform and document foundational engineering calculations
• Hands-on interest in designing, building, integrating, or testing mechanical hardware
• Problem-solving, organization, documentation, and communication skills
• Ability to complete defined tasks with guidance and collaborate in a fast-paced environment
