Product Design Engineer (Early Career)

Join our team as a Product Design Engineer (Early Career) and work on designing mechanical parts and assemblies for our aircraft, ground stations, and accessories. You will collaborate with senior engineers, electrical engineers, and vendors, and follow your designs through the full development cycle. This is a great opportunity for recent graduates or those with 0-3 years of hands-on product or hardware experience.

• Design mechanical parts and assemblies for aircraft, ground stations, and accessories, collaborating with senior engineers.
• Integrate custom PCBAs, flex circuits, antennas, and cable harnesses into mechanical designs, working closely with electrical engineers.
• Plan and run engineering tests, evaluate design trade-offs, and follow designs through the full development cycle.

• Strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to use them to solve open-ended design problems
• Ability to create clear mechanical drawings, or eagerness to build this skill with mentorship
• Familiarity with common manufacturing processes such as injection molding, CNC machining, casting, or sheet metal, and how they affect design decisions
• Curiosity, attention to detail, and a love of well-designed hardware
• 0-3 years of hands-on product or hardware experience through internships, co-ops, student design teams (e.g., Formula SAE, robotics, rocketry), research, or personal projects
• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field
• Proficiency in 3D CAD (CATIA, SolidWorks, NX, Creo, or similar), including building multi-part assemblies
• A collaborative mindset and comfort working in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift
• Experience with CATIA specifically
• Exposure to GD&T, tolerance analysis, or FEA
• Experience with composites or electromechanical systems (drones, consumer electronics, robotics, etc.)
• Experience rapidly prototyping with 3D printing, machine shop tools, or similar
