Associate Aero-Mechanical Engineer
About The Position
The Associate Aero-Mechanical Engineer supports the design, development, and testing of mechanical systems and components for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS). This role focuses on applying engineering fundamentals to real-world aerospace applications while learning advanced mechanical design principles, materials, and manufacturing processes. Under the guidance of senior engineers, this position contributes to concept design, CAD modeling, documentation, and prototype builds for airframes, subsystems, and mechanical assemblies. This is an entry-level engineering position designed to develop core aerospace design and integration skills in a collaborative, fast-paced environment supporting multi-disciplinary teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field required.
- 0–2 years of relevant engineering experience (internship or co-op experience preferred).
- Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks or equivalent).
- Familiarity with GD&T, mechanical drafting, and drawing standards.
- Basic understanding of structural design, materials, and manufacturing processes (composites, machined parts, or sheet metal).
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
- Attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality work.
- Collaborative mindset with effective communication skills.
- Eagerness to learn and contribute in a multi-disciplinary environment.
- Ability to manage time and adapt to shifting priorities in a fast-paced setting.
Nice To Haves
- Exposure to mechanical testing or prototype fabrication is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Assist in the design, modeling, and drafting of mechanical and structural components for UAS.
- Support system integration and prototype builds, collaborating closely with engineers, technicians, and production staff.
- Create and maintain engineering drawings, specifications, and supporting documentation in accordance with company standards.
- Conduct basic tolerance analysis, materials selection, and fit checks under senior engineer supervision.
- Participate in design reviews, applying feedback to improve manufacturability and performance.
- Contribute to test setup, data collection, and analysis for mechanical validation efforts.
- Ensure designs align with safety, reliability, and compliance standards.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams (software, electrical, test) to ensure seamless mechanical integration.
