About Company
Job Overview
- You will be joining the team building our payload platform, and will own the mechanical design and analysis of the airborne payload and its integration with the host aircraft.
- You will be responsible for structural integrity, mass and centre of gravity efficiency, manufacturability, and field reliability of the platform across its operating envelope.
- The role involves working across the full development lifecycle, from concept trade studies and mechanical analysis through manufacturing support, assembly, and flight-readiness testing.
- This is a hands-on role suited to an engineer who is comfortable taking a design from CAD to hardware, and who wants to see their work fly.
Eligibility Criteria
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- 2-3 years of experience in mechanical design and analysis for defence and aerial platforms, such as UAVs, drones, airborne pods, or other aircraft-mounted systems.
- Strong proficiency in SolidWorks for CAD modelling, complex assemblies, sheet metal, and detailed drafting.
- Hands-on experience with FEA tools such as Simcenter 3D, ANSYS, or NASTRAN for structural and dynamic analysis.
- Mechanics of materials Structural dynamics and vibration environments Flight and operational load conditions Fatigue and margin of safety calculations
- Familiarity with materials and manufacturing processes for lightweight airborne structures including machining, sheet metal, bonding, composites, inserts, and surface treatments. Familiarity with drawing standards, GD&T, and production-ready documentation.
- Experience working closely with manufacturing and assembly teams to take designs to hardware.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Job Description
- Own the mechanical design and analysis of the payload platform, including primary and secondary structures, enclosures, mounts, and mechanisms.
- Design the payload to airframe interface, covering mounting strategy, load paths, vibration isolation, and quick-release or field-serviceable features where required.
- Drive mass and centre of gravity optimisation against endurance and flight performance targets, and maintain the mass budget for the platform.
- Assess thermal paths and airflow for airborne electronics, and support heatsink, enclosure venting, and sealing decisions.
- Perform material and process selection based on stiffness-to-weight, strength, environmental durability, and ingress protection requirements. Apply DFM/DFA principles to ensure designs are manufacturable and assembly-friendly at low to medium volume.
- Develop CAD models, manufacturing drawings, GD&T, BOMs, and assembly documentation.
- Conduct tolerance stack-up analysis and fitment validation for subsystem integration.
- Work closely with manufacturing teams and vendors for fabrication, surface treatments, and build planning.
- Support environmental, functional, and flight test campaigns, including fixtures, instrumentation, and correlation of test data against analysis models.
- Collaborate with electronics, RF, payload, systems, and flight operations teams to ensure integrated platform performance.
- Demonstrate hands-on know-how in using relevant measuring, inspection, and assembly instruments, and work effectively with vendors to translate design requirements into manufacturable hardware.
