Responsible for designing and developing mechanical parts and assemblies for drone products from concept to validated hardware.
О компании
- is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.
- As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously.
- We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers. We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications.
Обязанности
- Own the mechanical design of drone components and full assemblies from concept to validated hardware, producing 3D models and 2D drawings that meet ASME/ISO standards and manufacturing requirements
- Translate comprehensive requirements sets into design concepts, applying analytical assessments to standard mechanical elements such as bolts, bearings and fittings to verify form, fit and function
- Build and integrate prototypes hands-on, performing structured assessments to validate robustness, usability and ruggedised characteristics under operationally relevant conditions
- Plan and execute validation test campaigns that drive technical maturation and reduce programme risk at each design milestone
- Produce comprehensive design documentation in compliance with company quality standards and PLM workflows, ensuring traceability across the full product lifecycle
Будет плюсом
- Familiarity with design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) principles applied within fast-paced, iterative drone or UAV development programmes
- Experience working within structured product development processes, including requirements management and design review gating

- Have designed and delivered mechanical parts and assemblies for aerospace or similarly demanding applications, using 3D and 2D CAD tools such as SolidWorks/PDM or Siemens NX/Teamcenter
- Can apply ASME/ISO drawing standards and mechanical design standards confidently, including analytical assessment of standard mechanical components
- Have integrated and tested prototypes hands-on, using test outcomes to iterate and improve designs against defined requirements
- Communicate complex design intent clearly in written English, producing documentation that meets rigorous engineering quality standards within a PLM environment
- Act decisively with minimal guidance, own outcomes end-to-end and initiate solutions without waiting for direction
- Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.
- ’s work is important. You’ll be directly contributing to the protection of democratic countries while balancing both ethical and geopolitical concerns
- The work is unique. We operate in a domain that has highly unusual technical requirements and constraints, and where robustness, safety, and ethical considerations are vital. You will face unique Engineering and AI challenges that make a meaningful impact in the world
- Our work frequently takes us right up to the state of the art in technical innovation, be it reinforcement learning, distributed systems, generative AI, or deployment infrastructure. The defence industry is entering the most exciting phase of the technological development curve. Advances in our field of world are not incremental: is part of, and often leading, historic leaps forward
- In our domain, success is a matter of order-of-magnitude improvements and novel capabilities. This means we take bets, aim high, and focus on big opportunities. Despite being a relatively young company, has already been selected for multiple significant government contracts
- We actively encourage healthy, proactive, and diverse debate internally about what we do and how we choose to do it. Teams and individual engineers are trusted (and encouraged) to practise responsible autonomy and critical thinking, and to focus on outcomes, not conformity. At you will have a say in how we (and you!) work, the opportunity to engage on what does and doesn’t work, and to take ownership of aspects of our culture that you care deeply about
