What we’re looking for

We’re hiring a Junior Mechanical Engineer – Hands-On Innovator who loves turning ideas into real, working hardware. This is a practical, build-focused role for an early-career engineer who enjoys designing, prototyping, assembling, and iterating on mechanical systems—from UAV components to production-ready parts. You’ll blend solid engineering fundamentals with hands-on problem-solving and learn fast in a real-world environment.

The day-to-day

• Design mechanical components and assemblies for UAV platforms and related systems.
• Build, test, and iterate on prototypes using 3D printing and hands-on fabrication.
• Support the transition from prototype designs to production-ready parts.
• Assemble mechanical and electromechanical subsystems, including basic soldering work.
• Work closely with electronics, autonomy, and operations teams to solve practical integration challenges.
• Learn and apply DFM/DFA principles as designs mature toward manufacturing.

You should apply if you

• Are a graduate or early-career engineer (0–2 years) with a bachelor’s or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Are curious, practical, and motivated to build, test, and improve real hardware.
• Are comfortable moving between CAD design and hands-on bench work.
• Enjoy learning by doing and iterating quickly based on real-world feedback.
• Are eligible to obtain a NATO security clearance.

Nice to haves

• Proficiency in SolidWorks.
• UAV piloting experience.
• Exposure to PX4 or other drone control stacks.
• Deeper knowledge of 3D printing (materials, optimization, troubleshooting).
• Experience with plastic injection molding and DFM/DFA principles.
