Weekday Design Engineer Solidworks information

What is the difference between Weekday Design Engineer Solidworks vs Weekday Mechanical Drafter?

AspectWeekday Design Engineer SolidworksWeekday Mechanical Drafter
Primary RoleDesigns and develops products using Solidworks, focusing on innovation and functionality.Creates detailed technical drawings and plans for mechanical components, often based on existing designs.
Required SkillsProficiency in Solidworks, engineering principles, and product development.Strong drafting skills, knowledge of CAD software, and understanding of mechanical systems.
Work EnvironmentDesign studios, engineering firms, manufacturing companies.Architectural and engineering drafting offices, manufacturing plants.

While both roles require CAD skills and understanding of mechanical systems, Weekday Design Engineers focus on creating new product designs with Solidworks, whereas Weekday Mechanical Drafters prepare detailed drawings for manufacturing. The engineer role involves more conceptual work, while the drafter's work is more technical and detail-oriented.

Job description

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, mechanical state constraints).
  • Define materials, finishes, tolerances, fasteners, and mechanical interfaces for harsh operating environments.
  • Build and iterate prototypes using in-house fabrication (3D printing, CNC machining, basic manual machining).
  • Execute mechanical validation testing including drop, shock, vibration, and environmental qualification.
  • Produce manufacturing-ready documentation (GD&T drawings, tolerance stacks, BOMs, and DFM packages).
  • Own system mass properties and center-of-gravity budgets for UAV integration.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally on system integration (PCB constraints, connectors, harness routing, mechanical actuation interfaces).
  • Support vendor engagement for machining, injection molding, and production scaling.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of mechanical design experience in field-deployed, rugged, or regulated industries (UAV, aerospace, defense, automotive, or industrial systems).
  • Strong proficiency in parametric CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, Creo, NX, etc.).
  • Experience producing manufacturing-ready drawings (GD&T, tolerance analysis, fits, surface finishes).
  • Hands-on prototyping experience (3D printing, CNC machining, mill/lathe familiarity).
  • Strong understanding of failure modes and design-for-reliability principles.
  • Demonstrated end-to-end ownership: concept design prototype test production transfer.
  • Strong written and verbal English communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with safety-critical mechanical systems (fail-safe mechanisms, safety interlocks, or similar regulated hardware).
  • Familiarity with environmental/qualification standards (MIL-STD-810 or equivalent).
  • Experience with FEA / structural simulation (Ansys, SolidWorks Simulation, or similar).
  • DFM experience for injection molding, metal casting, or precision manufacturing.
  • Background in UAV/FPV systems or mass/CG-sensitive mechanical design.

Work Environment

  • Small, high-ownership engineering team with fast iteration cycles (weekly hardware builds).
  • Close collaboration between mechanical, electrical, and software engineers.
  • Strong emphasis on test-driven design, rapid prototyping, and production readiness.
  • Engineers are expected to own systems end-to-end and actively challenge design constraints when needed.

Location & Onsite Requirement

  • Full-time onsite role (5 days/week).
  • Mandatory 1-month onsite training in Kearneysville, West Virginia.
  • After training, relocation to and onsite work from one of the following hubs:
    • San Francisco Bay Area, CA
    • Los Angeles, CA
    • Washington, DC Metro Area
  • Candidates must be willing to relocate; relocation assistance is not provided.
