Senior Mechanical Engineer
Designs, builds, tests, and iterates lightweight mechanical structures and subsystems for solar-powered stratospheric aircraft. Requires 2+ years hands-on experience with composites, sheet metal, and first-principles engineering in fast-paced environment.
What you’ll do
- Design and fly lightweight, high-reliability structures for stratospheric aircraft
- Own mechanical subsystems from concept to flight
- Perform first-principles sizing, trade studies, and rapid iteration
- Build, test, break, and refine flight hardware
- Support integration, production, and flight operations
- Work closely with avionics, GNC, power, RF, and software teams
What we’re looking for
- 2+ years designing, analyzing, or building real mechanical hardware
- Strong fundamentals in structures, materials, and first-principles engineering
- Experience with lightweight structures, composites, sheet metal, or bonded assemblies
- Comfortable moving fast, owning outcomes, and working hands-on in the factory and field
