Join us at a pivotal moment as we transition from R&D to scaling production. We’re hiring a high-impact Mechanical Systems Engineer to solve complex, cross-disciplinary hardware challenges across existing and future Wingtra drones, payloads and accessories.
This role is for someone who thrives in ambiguity, learns fast, and can take ownership of tough engineering problems - from early feasibility through prototyping and production - working closely with electrical, firmware, test and operations teams.
Responsibilities
Contribute across projects developing future Wingtra drones, payloads, and accessoriesOwn the full product development cycle—from feasibility and prototyping to qualification and production ramp-upTranslate high-level requirements into technical specifications and own verification (test plans, physical test setups, and simulation where appropriate)Execute core development tasks including 3D CAD design, drawings/BOMs, documentation, and environmental/functional qualification testingDesign, build, test, and iterate prototypes and 0-series to ensure robust integration and performanceCollaborate with suppliers to deliver manufacturable, scalable designs and drive DfM/DfA and quality improvementsParticipate in design reviews, providing technical input and ensuring alignment with engineering best practices and system-level requirementsImprove reliability and quality through root-cause analysis of production and field issues and implement effective fixesManage handover of newly developed products to Operations, ensuring production readiness, manufacturability, and testability
Requirements
M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics or a closely related field5-7 years of industry experience delivering real-world hardware products (robotics, aerospace, medical devices, or similar)Proven ownership of complex engineering problems end-to-end—designing, building/experimenting, validating, and iterating (not only CAD)Practical, evidence-driven engineering mindsetStrong foundation in mechanical design, lightweight structures, materials and manufacturing processesProficiency in CAD (SolidWorks preferred) and production-grade drawings/BOMs; comfortable with tolerances, interfaces, and configuration controlStructured, proactive communicator who collaborates well across disciplines and can drive decisions forwardCuriosity, resilience and a desire to grow both technically and professionallyCollaborative, humble, and eager to learnFluent in English
Plus
Experience with drones or other autonomous systems, including field testingExperience applying DfM/DfA with suppliers/manufacturing partners and supporting production ramp-upsFEA or CFD familiarity Basic scripting (e.g., Python) for test automation or analysis
