What you need

  • BS or higher in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related discipline
  • 12+ years of experience in mechanical design and integration, with meaningful time spent on structural mounting, mechanisms, or payload/subsystem integration on aerospace or defense platforms
  • Strong understanding of load paths, structural joints, and fastened connections in mixed composite and metallic assemblies
  • Proficiency in CAD software (NX preferred; SolidWorks or equivalent acceptable) for detailed part and assembly modeling
  • Ability to perform structural sizing via hand calculations and classical methods (bolt analysis, lug analysis, bearing/bypass, joint allowables)
  • Working knowledge of FEA tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, or NASTRAN) sufficient to build and interpret local detail models for mounting hardware

Nice to have

  • Experience with Group 3+ UAS, UAV, or small aircraft payload integration specifically
  • Background in designing modular or quick-change mechanical interfaces (rails, bayonet mounts, dovetails, kinematic couplings)
  • Experience developing tooling, jigs, or fixtures for repeatable payload installation and alignment
  • Familiarity with vibration isolation and shock mounting techniques for sensitive equipment
  • Exposure to environmental qualification testing (MIL-STD-810) as it relates to mechanical mounting and retention

What you get

  • Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers
  • Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of remote work options
  • Salary range provided, but actual offer may vary based on various factors
