Mechanical Design & Structural Analysis Engineer

Position Overview

We are looking for a team member to join our R&D department to contribute to the development of ongoing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and drone systems, improve existing platforms, and support the integration of new mechanical, electronic, avionics, and payload components.

This role involves revising existing designs based on evolving system requirements, developing mechanical and structural solutions for new components, and managing designs throughout the lifecycle from prototyping to mass production.

General Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aeronautical, Aerospace Engineering, or related fields
• Proficiency in at least one of SOLIDWORKS or CATIA V5
• Strong knowledge of part, assembly, and surface modeling processes
• Ability to prepare manufacturing-ready technical drawings and assembly documentation
• Knowledge of GD&T, manufacturing tolerances, and preferably ASME Y14.5 standards
• Familiarity with manufacturing methods such as machining, sheet metal, composites, injection molding, and additive manufacturing
• Understanding of mechanical connections and structural design principles
• Basic knowledge of aerodynamics and flight mechanics
• Preferably experienced in finite element analysis (FEA) and structural analysis
• Experience with at least one of ANSYS Mechanical, Abaqus, or Simcenter Simulation is a plus
• Familiarity with 3DEXPERIENCE platform and technical data/revision management is a plus
• Proficiency in English sufficient for technical documentation and literature review
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and ability to work in a team

Responsibilities

• Design mechanical, structural, and conceptual components for drone and UAV projects
• Revise existing designs based on changing system requirements
• Develop integration components for electronic boards, sensors, motors, actuators, avionics systems, and payloads
• Create 3D models at part, sub-assembly, and system levels
• Prepare detailed manufacturing and assembly drawings
• Evaluate designs in terms of manufacturability and suitability for mass production
• Design fixtures, jigs, and assembly tools
• Follow up on prototype manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing processes
• Improve designs based on test and measurement results
• Perform basic strength calculations and structural analyses when required
• Prepare user documentation, assembly instructions, and technical reports
• Maintain design revisions, product structures, and configuration data
• Collaborate closely with design, manufacturing, quality, and testing teams
• Contribute actively to R&D and product development processes
