Our extensive history includes working alongside organizations including U.S. Army Marines and US DOD Special Operations Community. We embrace cutting edge innovative technologies and design concepts to bring new capability to our warfighters. As an original equipment manufacturer of Drones (UAS) we are at the forefront of new American engineering and manufacturing technologies. The foundation of our company is the drive to build superior UAS through engineering excellence. You can expect diverse challenges that will require you to be agile and innovative in your work. You can also expect to be on a small team that strives to meet these challenges together. UAS development and the UAS market is still young and constantly changing. Your work will be varied and innovative by nature.

Job Summary:

The Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer will lead the mechanical design of lightweight highperformance systems and subsystems with a strong emphasis on advanced CAD design and assembly management. This role owns complex highpartcount assemblies from concept through production ensuring robust interface definition configuration control and clear documentation through drawings and BOMs. The engineer applies parametric topdown CAD modeling FEA prototyping and testing to deliver aerodynamically efficient durable designs optimized for manufacturing and assembly. Working closely with crossfunctional teams suppliers and production this role drives design excellence innovation and seamless transition from development to sustained production with minimal oversight.

Primary Job Duties & Responsibilities:

• Utilize your experience with lightweight structural design and materials to own system and subsystem designs. You will own interfaces and integrate other team members subsystems into your assemblies.

• Control large part count assemblies in CAD and PLM and ensure strong transition to documented control in BOMs and assembly drawings.

• Optimize for aerodynamic profiles and efficiencies.

• Utilize Finite Element Analysis (FEA) experiments and rapid prototyping to design products for durability performance and manufacturing quality.

• Develop and conduct tests to validate design across full operational capability envelope and environment.

• Deliver market leading designs with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) / Design for Assembly (DFA) methods and techniques.

• Demonstrate strong communication skills; active collaboration with team leaders management and other team members is expected. The Sr. Engineer takes broad high-level requirements and feedback to generate specific design tasks and outcomes; owns and drives meetings as applicable.

• Take strong ownership of assigned systems programs customers etc. Actively curate subsystem requirements performance and timeline. Requires very little direction from management in moving projects forward against agreed upon timelines.

• Coordinate with suppliers during development and production; incidental travel may be required.

• Coordinate with production staff to provide training Manufacturing Test Requirements (MTRs) work instruction review and troubleshooting of design issues.

• Create and control design data from concept to product sustainment; support engineering change processes within Teledyne FLIR and with government customers as required.

Job Qualifications:

• Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering required.

• 6 years of professional experience in mechanical design of weight and size sensitive assemblies and components.

• Strong system design ownership with demonstrated experience managing complex assemblies and ensuring system specifications are being met.

• Demonstrated strong record of technical innovation research and development of complex mechanical systems.

• Strong CAD skills in both design and assembly management required. Robust parametric g and top-down modeling experience is a must.

• Experience with PDM tools and understanding of configuration control practices.

• Experience with battery motor and/or UAV propulsion systems preferred.

• Expertise with Solidworks 3D modeling drawing and simulation software is strongly preferred.

• Experience leading technical projects and teams preferred.

Applicants must be either a U.S. citizen U.S. national legal permanent resident asylee refugee or must be eligible to apply for and obtain the appropriate export control license from the U.S. Departments of State or Commerce.
