Munich · Full time

You own the physical drone, from CAD to the shipping box. Our drones sit on 380kV lines at -25°C in Norway and on 80°C conductors in Texas. Making the mechanical system survive that, and manufacturing it reliably at scale, is the job.

This is not just a hardware design role. You source parts in China and Europe, manage suppliers, integrate sensors, own the documentation, and design the next platform. If you like taking a part from sketch to serial production, this is for you.

What you'll do

• Source mechanical parts across China and Europe, manage lead times and quality
• Integrate sensors into the drone (packaging, thermal paths, cable routing, sealing)
• Own mechanical documentation in Onshape (drawings, BOMs, assembly instructions, parts list)
• Design the next-gen platform
• Whatever is necessary. If something needs to happen, you do it

What you'll ship in the first 3 months

• Take on parts of supplier coordination for serial production
• Identify and fix the top 3 mechanical failure modes from field data
• Qualify additional suppliers to reduce lead times on critical parts
• Ship a DFM revision of the airframe that reduces assembly time or part count

Your qualifications

• Strong CAD skills (Onshape, Fusion, SolidWorks, or similar) and design for manufacturing
• Hands-on mindset. You've built, debugged, and shipped physical products
• Comfortable talking directly with machine shops and suppliers about lead time, finishes, and cost
• Bonus, experience with CNC machining, injection molding, aluminum anodizing, drone or aerospace structures

You don't need to tick all of these. If you're a fast learner and excited about the work, we want to talk.
