Top Engineering Jobs

Design and develop complex hydraulic fluid systems and mechanisms for autonomous UAV launch/recovery. Perform CAD, tolerance and materials selection, structural calculations and FEA, prototype and test hardware, support pre-production and flight testing, and collaborate across disciplines to meet performance, schedule, and reliability goals.

Perform finite element modeling and analyses (static, modal, fatigue, vibration) for UAV structures; validate results with hand calculations; support structural test planning, data analysis, load definition, and cross-functional design optimization to ensure lightweight, safe airframe performance.

Lead design and development of advanced electrical systems for autonomous aircraft, including circuit and subsystem design, part selection, schematic capture, simulation, verification, debugging, and production releases. Integrate embedded systems and sensors for autonomy, coordinate cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, define technical requirements, and develop automated test solutions to improve hardware reliability and production readiness.

Lead systems engineering for Hivemind-based autonomy products: define and manage requirements, develop system architectures and trade studies, coordinate hardware/software interfaces, support integration/verification/validation and testing, and identify and mitigate technical risks across the system lifecycle.

Lead integration, verification, and flight testing of Hivemind autonomy on Group 5 ACP systems. Own test strategy and execute multi-phase SIL/HIL/simulation/ground/flight campaigns, manage test readiness, safety-of-flight, and risk decisions, coordinate OEMs, government customers, and cross-functional teams, and define mission-level performance metrics.

Lead design and prototyping of generative AI experiences for autonomy development; drive UX for Hivemind products; perform user research, collaborate with CTO and product leads, and deliver reference implementations and integrations across full-stack web and edge systems.

Investigate field-reported issues for complex hardware/software systems, perform root cause analysis, implement CAPAs, track reliability and defect trends, support failure reproduction and validation, and coordinate cross-functional issue resolution and reporting to improve fielded system robustness.

Lead and contribute to design, analysis, and integration of launch/recovery mechanical systems from concept through production. Establish engineering standards, perform FMEA and reliability modeling, support testing and field operations, and manage a team of mechanical engineers while coordinating cross-functionally to ensure buildable, testable, and reliable designs.

Design, analyze, and deliver liquid cooling and thermal management systems for a jet-engine VTOL UAV (X-BAT). Own component/system design, supplier engagement, analysis/sizing, and support ground and flight test activities, including test-site travel.

Lead propulsion test development and execution for an afterburning jet-powered vehicle. Oversee design, build, and operation of test stands, instrumentation, and safety systems. Manage propulsion test engineers and technicians, define test objectives, perform thermodynamic and transient analysis, drive root-cause investigations, coordinate schedules and suppliers, and ensure test alignment with vehicle milestones.
