This is a critical build and fabrication role supporting the design, assembly, and testing of advanced systems across both our aerial platform and ground-based hardware. You will work on precision mechanical and kinetic engineering challenges — from custom airframe structures and integration of high-performance subsystems to the development of specialized ground equipment and deployment infrastructure. This role demands someone who can move fluidly between detailed fabrication work (CNC machining, 3D printing, composite layup, wiring) and systems-level assembly, all while maintaining exacting standards in a fast-moving, prototype-heavy environment. You will be the technical backbone enabling our engineering team to iterate rapidly, test boldly, and translate concepts into field-ready hardware. •KEY RESPONSIBILITIES •Assemble, wire, and test mechanical design structures and subsystems, including composite and foam structures; •Fabricate and test custom mechanical components using CNC machining, 3D printing (FDM and SLA), hand tooling, and composite lay-up techniques, working from engineering drawings and CAD files (STEP, DXF, STL); •Support R&D of mechanical and kinetic designs of custom fixtures, actuation mechanisms, and specialized equipment enclosures; •Build and assemble wiring harnesses, power distribution systems, low-voltage subsystems, and electronic subassemblies; •Troubleshoot mechanical failures and fabrication issues, making real-time decisions to resolve problems and maintain build schedules; •Maintain shop equipment, manage parts inventory, and track component status to ensure smooth build workflows and on-time hardware availability; •Inspect finished assemblies for quality, dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and compliance with engineering specifications using precision measurem Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
