Prototyping & Fabrication
  • Rapidly prototype components using internal tools or external vendors
  • Manage the cycle from CAD fabrication installation iteration

Testing & Validation
  • Conduct real-world testing to validate mechanical performance
  • Identify failure modes, analyze performance data, and implement improvements

Design for Manufacturability
  • Develop designs that can scale to production
  • Work directly with manufacturing teams and vendors to ensure precision and repeatability

Procurement & Build Support
  • Source materials, components, and vendors
  • Solve supply challenges to maintain build momentum

Required Skills & Experience
  • Strong hands-on mechanical design experience
  • CAD proficiency and understanding of GD&T
  • Ability to work independently in fast-moving engineering environments
  • Strong problem-solving ability and accountability

Preferred Experience
  • Aerospace, UAV, or high-performance mechanical systems
  • Additive manufacturing or rapid prototyping
  • Designing hardware for production environments
