We are looking for a skilled and innovative Mechatronics Engineer to contribute to the design, development, and implementation of advanced mechatronic systems for our aerospace applications. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mechanical, electrical, and software engineering, and a passion for integrating these disciplines to create sophisticated, high-performance systems. As a key member of our engineering team, you will work closely with other engineers and departments to develop innovative solutions that meet the stringent demands of the aerospace industry.

A broad understanding of aerospace applications is greatly beneficial as products progress towards representative testing on turbojet engines, drivetrain, and ultimately implementation on-wing. 

Lastly, working at a start-up is dynamic and may take on many other shapes. This also means that there will be opportunities to develop this role to suit your skills and interests, even outside of engineering.  

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop mechatronic systems for aerospace applications.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system requirements, perform feasibility studies, and generate technical specifications.
  • Integrate mechanical, electrical, and software components to create fully functional prototypes and production systems.
  • Conduct simulations, testing, and validation of mechatronic systems to ensure they meet performance, reliability, and safety standards.
  • Troubleshoot and optimize existing systems to enhance performance and address any issues.
  • Document designs, processes, and test results to ensure thorough records for future reference and compliance with industry standards.
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in mechatronics and related technologies to drive innovation within the company.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement efforts and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and interns.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in mechatronics engineering, preferably within the aerospace industry.
  • Strong knowledge of mechanical design principles, electronics, control systems, and software integration.
  • Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink).
  • Hands-on experience with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and programming languages such as C/C++ or Python a must. PCB design experience a big plus.
  • Familiarity with aerospace industry standards and compliance requirements is a plus.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Due to the nature of the work applicants must be US Citizens with no known issues that would prevent them from obtaining security clearance.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and benefits package (health, dental, & vision).
  • 401(k) 
  • Paid time off and holidays.
  • Generous parental leave policy crafted by founders with deep appreciation for family.
  • Opportunity to work in a dynamic startup environment with a talented and dedicated team.
  • Potential for career growth and advancement as the company continues to grow.
  • Contribution to the advancement of aerospace technology and innovation.
