Jobs at FW ACQUISITION INC

Leads mechanical engineering for UAS and ground-control hardware, serving as technical authority for system changes and product architecture. Designs electro-mechanical systems, prototypes and tests hardware, supports high-rate manufacturing, and develops fixtures and automation. Drives DFMEA, NPI, sustaining processes, vendor qualification, documentation, and lifecycle product development. The role requires advanced SolidWorks/CAD expertise, FEA analysis, production design experience, and hands-on drone development.

Develop and execute validation and qualification testing for complex electromechanical and drone systems. Design custom fixtures, automation, and data acquisition systems; apply statistical and reliability methods; support supplier qualification and risk management; investigate root causes; and drive corrective actions. The role also contributes to validation strategy, test method development, and integration of mechanical systems into flight hardware and ground control systems.

Leads complex, cross-functional technical programs for UAS hardware across concept, architecture, design, validation, production ramp, and sustainment. Owns scope, schedules, resources, risks, dependencies, tradeoffs, and program-level delivery. Coordinates engineering, product, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and operations teams; leads design reviews, technical trade studies, DFMEA activities, and process improvements. Coaches teams on program execution and manages multiple concurrent workstreams in agile and gated hardware development environments.

Leads sustainment engineering for fielded drone platforms, overseeing reliability, maintainability, availability, obsolescence, failure analysis, field support, engineering changes, and lifecycle support. Builds and manages multidisciplinary engineering teams, drives corrective actions and product improvements, coordinates repair and overhaul programs, supports customers and program reviews, and partners with manufacturing and supply chain. Owns sustainment budgets, staffing, fleet-health metrics, regulatory compliance, and proposal support for aerospace and defense UAS programs.

Develop and maintain C/C++ embedded software for autonomous aircraft across microcontrollers and Linux application processors. Integrate aircraft sensors and perception systems, optimize real-time performance, build automated testing and simulation tools, and support software from architecture and hardware bring-up through flight testing. Diagnose complex hardware-software issues, contribute to safety and certification evidence, and provide technical leadership through architecture decisions, code reviews, mentoring, and multidisciplinary coordination.

Develop and lead production embedded C and C++ software for autonomous aircraft and UAS platforms. Responsibilities include board support, real-time and embedded Linux development, sensor and perception integration, system optimization, hardware bring-up, flight testing, debugging, automated testing, requirements traceability, and technical mentorship. The role collaborates across electrical, systems, controls, autonomy, manufacturing, and flight-operations teams.

Lead high-level electrical system design for UAS products, decomposing requirements into architectures, directing subsystem engineers, and integrating robust designs. Perform component trade studies, PCB layout and reviews, EMC compliance, signal and power integrity work, design verification testing, and manufacturing test development. Maintain electrical BOMs, collaborate with manufacturing and contract manufacturers, estimate project effort, and serve as a technical expert across key drone technologies.

The Test Engineer II will design, develop, and validate test solutions for drone products, troubleshoot issues, and improve manufacturing processes.

The Senior Electrical Engineer will design and validate drone technology, focusing on RF, BMS, motor control, and embedded systems, while collaborating cross-functionally.

The Staff Software Engineer designs scalable software architectures for robotics systems, collaborates with cross-functional teams, and guides standards for modern C++ in embedded environments.

Lead the Electrical & RF Systems Engineering team, overseeing hardware architecture, integration, compliance, and testing for UAS platforms while ensuring high performance and reliability.

The Sr. RF Systems and Integration Engineer will enhance wireless communication systems performance, focusing on RF integration, networking, and real-world testing in challenging environments.

The Senior NPI Manufacturing Engineer will lead manufacturing process development and validation for new UAV systems, ensuring design optimization for manufacturability and cost, while collaborating across technical teams.

Design, prototype, test, and integrate electromechanical systems for UAS platforms. Produce CAD models, develop production tooling, manage engineering documentation and PDMS data, qualify vendors, support NPI builds, and participate in flight testing and manufacturing readiness.
