Mechanical Engineer, Drone

As a Mechanical Engineer on our drone program, you will help figure out how to make our aircraft fly: designing the airframe, structures, and mechanical systems that let our autonomy take to the air. You will be part of the full product design lifecycle, from concept and prototype through flight test and production, and your work will directly shape how our uncrewed aircraft perform. You will design lightweight, durable hardware, build it, fly it, break it, and make it better.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Own the mechanical design of our drone platforms, including airframe, fuselage, wings or rotor arms, landing gear, and structural components
• Make the tradeoffs between weight, strength, aerodynamics, flight time, and payload capacity that determine whether an aircraft flies well
• Integrate propulsion, batteries, avionics, and payloads into the airframe, including packaging, mounting, cooling, and cable routing
• Perform structural, thermal, and vibration analysis, and use flight and test data to validate and improve the design
• Prototype quickly: build, assemble, and iterate on real hardware, and support flight testing and field operations
• Analyze failures and crashes, drive root cause, and turn lessons into design improvements
• Own the design, analysis, and validation at the component, assembly, and fully integrated aircraft level
• Design for manufacturability, repairability, and field serviceability
• Work cross-functionally with autonomy, avionics, electrical, software, and flight test teams to make sure designs meet mission requirements
