Sr. Mechanical Engineer in Mountain View
Energy Jobline ZR, Mountain View, California, us, 94039
We're building safety‑enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. The mechanical team is a small group of highly motivated people designing, testing, and flying advanced mechanical systems. We enjoy cradle‑to‑grave hardware ownership and hands‑on build, test, and integration of our designs.
As a Sr. Mechanical Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be an influential part of the Mechanical Engineering team helping to drive engineering methods and product quality. The hardware focus is on high reliability safety‑critical mechanisms and structures, with significant cross‑functional development with the Systems, Avionics, GNC, Software, Manufacturing, and Flight Test teams. The position will be located at our facility in Mountain View, California, reporting to the Mechanical Engineering Manager.
Responsibilities
Design, analyze, build, test, and fly a system of actuators, mechanisms, and structural modifications to enable remote‑piloted aircraft.
Own your hardware from initial conception through flight test and certification – cradle‑to‑grave engineering with hands‑on build, test, and integration.
Lead cross‑functional trades and drive performance and design decisions to closure.
Bring a sense of humility, and be ready to both learn and teach.
Basic Qualification
BS in mechanical or aerospace engineering, or equivalent experience.
5+ years professional experience developing mechanical systems.
Mastery of at least one of the following areas: Design, Analysis, Manufacturing, Test, or Certification.
Demonstrated successful project ownership.
Skills and Experience
Demonstrated understanding of structural analysis and failure modes of mechanical systems.
Ability to assess and prioritize mechanical architectures for safety and reliability.
Previous experience with aircraft or other safety‑critical mechanical systems.
Experience developing engineering infrastructure such as CAD systems, configuration management, PLM, ERP, and MRP systems.
Design for manufacturability and volume production.
Eagerness and ability to mentor junior engineers.
Proactive problem solver.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Must be willing to travel up to 10% of the time.
The estimated salary range for this position is $190,000 to $260,000 annual salary plus cash and stock option awards plus benefits.
