About the Role

Build the world’s most advanced interceptor drones 

We are redefining aerial defense. Our Counter‑UAS interceptor is a rocket‑boosted, all‑electric drone capable of 400 km/h, delivering 10 kW peak power through an in‑house developed powertrain. Designed from day one for mass production at scale, this platform represents a new class of high‑performance, modular UAV systems. 

We are looking for a Senior Engineer to take this technological powerhouse from advanced prototype to tens of thousands of units produced globally. 

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Conceptual design and detailed development of complex injection‑molded plastic components and mechanical sub‑assemblies 

• Optimization of assemblies for manufacturing, assembly, cost, and quality 

• Hands‑on involvement with tooling design, tool reviews, and first‑article inspections 

• Technical coordination and management of external suppliers and manufacturing partners 

• Oversight, guidance, and quality assurance of work performed by junior mechanical design engineers 

• Close collaboration with cross‑functional teams across engineering, production, and supply chain 

What You Bring to the Team

• 5–10 years of professional experience in hardware or mechanical engineering with exposure to automotive, aerospace, defense, or safety‑critical product standards 

• Background in automotive, consumer electronics or comparable high‑volume industries 

• Strong proficiency in CATIA V5 and deep experience designing injection‑molded parts and assemblies for high‑volume production 

• Experience working closely with electronics, powertrain, propulsion, and systems engineers 

• A pragmatic, ownership‑driven mindset and the ability to move fast without compromising quality 

• Passion for hardware — drones, model aircraft, or hands‑on technical hobbies are a strong plus!
