Mechanical Engineer, Senior
Core
Designing and prototyping high-reliability mechanical mechanisms for autonomous counter-drone systems that intercept threats in real-time.
Role type
Senior IC Mechanical Engineer (Mechanisms)
Builds
Low-power, edge-deployed counter-drone systems for vehicles, bases, and soldier packs.
Domain
Defense / Robotics / Kinematics
Deliverable
production ML models | product features
Required skills
mechanism design, kinematics and dynamics, GD&T, multibody simulation, failure analysis, hands-on prototyping, troubleshooting, manufacturing design
Preferred skills
firearm mechanism design, high-rate/high-shock mechanisms, precision gear trains, servo-driven gimbal systems, venture-backed startup experience
Technologies
3D printers, NVIDIA Jetsons, CNC mills, lathes
Responsibilities
Solve complex mechanism problems (feed, action, drive, latching) from concept to working hardware; design for motion under load (cams, linkages, gear trains); machine, assemble, and test prototypes; diagnose failures via data and physical inspection; kill bad ideas early based on engineering judgment; produce manufacturable drawings with GD&T; collaborate on electromechanical interfaces; support field testing.
Seniority
Senior, hands-on IC
