Senior Mechanical Engineer I

Axon Enterprise

Kassel, Germany

Your Impact

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you take technical ownership of mechanical systems and assemblies - from early concept and architecture through prototyping, qualification, and production. You combine hands-on mechanical engineering, strong problem-solving skills, and technical leadership, actively shaping both our products and the way we engineer them.

What You’ll Do

Own mechanical system and subsystem development across the full product lifecycle;
Design durable mechanical solutions for fixed, portable, and mobile cUAS systems;
Develop housings, structures, and mounting concepts with focus on thermal performance, weight, stiffness, and environmental robustness;
Apply structural and thermal simulation (e.g. FEA, thermal analysis) to guide design decisions and validate concepts;
Take a strong hands-on role in prototyping, testing, and iterative design improvements;
Solve real-world hardware problems by identifying root causes and implementing practical, robust solutions;
Work closely with electrical, RF, and systems engineers on mechanical-electrical integration;
Collaborate with manufacturing partners on DFM/DFA, material selection, surface treatments, and production processes;
Support qualification activities including temperature, shock, vibration, and environmental testing;
Participate in design reviews, contribute to engineering guidelines, and continuously improve mechanical design standards;
Act as a technical mentor, sharing knowledge and experience within the engineering team.

What You Bring

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field;
Several years of experience in mechanical design and system integration for complex hardware products;
Strong background in mechanical design for harsh or regulated environments;
Experience with structural and thermal simulation tools (e.g. SolidWorks Simulation, Ansys, or comparable);
Proficiency with CAD tools (e.g. SolidWorks or equivalent) and production-ready technical drawings;
Strong hands-on skills and confidence working with workshop tools and prototypes;
Practical understanding of manufacturing processes and design for production;
Proven problem-solving mindset, comfortable debugging real hardware issues;
Experience supporting knowledge sharing, reviews, or mentoring within an engineering team;
Clear communicator who enjoys ownership, collaboration, and technical depth.
