BRINC Drones
Mechanical Engineer
Join BRINC Drones as a Mechanical Engineer focused on the design, development, and optimization of mechanical systems for our advanced drones and public safety products.
Base pay range $80,000 – $180,000 per annum
About BRINC At BRINC, we are redefining public safety with an innovative ecosystem of life‑saving tools. Our journey started with drones and ruggedized throw phones, designed to access unsafe areas and establish communication to de‑escalate situations. Today, we deploy 911 response networks where drones are dispatched to 911 calls to provide real‑time visual data, enhancing safety and enabling de‑escalation‑focused responses. Our cutting‑edge solutions are used by over 600 public‑safety agencies across America and we have raised over $150M from investors.
About this Role We are seeking mid to senior level Mechanical Engineers to lead the design, development, and optimization of mechanical systems for our advanced drones and public safety products. In this role, you will drive technical innovation, mentor engineers, and ensure our products meet the highest standards of performance, durability, and manufacturability.
Key Responsibilities
Own hardware development from specification to design, prototype, testing, and manufacturing.
Collaborate with software, electrical, perception, controls, and manufacturing engineers.
Design flight hardware and test setups to validate designs.
Establish top‑level design architectures and implementation methodologies for the team and communicate design decisions with stakeholders.
Perform and document design analysis and testing results; make data‑driven decisions to deliver key product features.
Work closely with industrial design partners to ensure the final product meets design intent and customer needs.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to the broader mechanical engineering team.
Qualifications
5+ years of industry experience in mechanical engineering or product design, focusing on design, analysis, and development of mechanical or electromechanical systems.
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
Experience working in a fast‑paced technical environment.
Experience in DFM (Design for Manufacturability), DFA (Design for Assembly), DFT (Design for Test).
Experience with statistical tolerance analysis, dimensioning, GD&T.
Experience with industry‑standard 3D CAD modeling tool suites.
Working knowledge of material properties – plastics, metals, adhesives, and glass.
Knowledge of manufacturing techniques – stamping, machining, 3D printing, injection molding.
Preferred Skills
8+ years of experience designing mechanical solutions for aerospace, robotics, automotive, consumer electronics, or related industries.
Experience collaborating with domestic and international supply‑chain partners.
In‑depth understanding of packaging for electronics and design for high‑stress shock & vibration environments; experience with failure analysis and FEA (Finite Element Analysis).
Ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements.
Independent, initiative‑driven, and strong communicator in a small team.
Experience developing mechanical solutions for UAV/UAS used in commercial, industrial, or defense applications.
