Mechanical Engineer
The Mechanical Engineer joins the Maneuver Dominance team to support the development of Thunder, an autonomous attack rotorcraft designed for coordinated operations with ground forces. In this role, you will own the physical design of a novel payload carriage and release system, managing the process from initial concept through low-rate production. Key responsibilities include defining requirements, conducting structural analysis, building prototypes, and developing hardware test plans in collaboration with internal teams to ensure integrated electrical and mechanical systems are reliable. You will utilize NX, Teamcenter, and other CAD software to iterate on designs while applying knowledge of composite and metallic materials, load paths, and hand calculations. The role addresses the technical challenge of integrating weapons, sensors, and radios onto a compact airframe operating in contested environments where space and antenna real estate are limited.
