About the role

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!
