Regular
Job Description The Aeromechanical Design Engineer III is a key member of the design team focused on the development of the next‑generation UAS and their subsystems. This will include all levels and facets of design from concept through detailed design and will include building and testing of these systems.
Position Responsibilities
Designs structural components, electro‑mechanical design, payload mechanical design, ground equipment mechanical design, launching systems, flight control actuators integration, thermal analysis, prototype hardware development, tooling & fixtures design
Design work shall be accomplished using CAD tools (SolidWorks), simulation tools (SolidWorks Simulation, ANSYS), and rapid prototyping techniques (3D printing, etc.).
Other duties include: developing manufacturing drawings and bills of materials for components and assemblies using industry drafting standards, supporting design reviews, assisting project managers with the planning and scheduling of engineering work, and supporting manufacturing & suppliers with the production of components & assemblies
Basic Qualifications (Required Skills & Experience)
Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering is required or equivalent combination of experience and education
5 - 8 years' relevant experience in a technical and design capacity within an engineering organization
Demonstrated competency in Mechanical Engineering processes and design/analysis tools; solving Mechanics & Kinematics problems; and solving Thermodynamics problems.
Demonstrated understanding of metallic, plastic and composite material properties
Demonstrated ability to solve basic structural dynamics problems.
Proficiency in SolidWorks, Excel, Word and PowerPoint is required.
Demonstrated understanding of industry design and documentation standards (GD&T, ASME, Change Control, etc.)
Experienced with designing: machined parts, composite parts, injection molded parts, sheet metal parts, wire assemblies and mechanical assemblies for low, medium and high‑volume manufacturing processes.
Experienced with: mechanical, lab, field, flight, and environmental testing.
Demonstrated understanding of engineering configuration management processes.
Other Qualifications & Desired Competencies
Experience with SolidWorks EPDM, Agile PLM, and MATLAB is preferred
Hands‑on experience with metal and composite fabrication and 3D printing is highly desirable.
Knowledge and experience of analytical techniques and tools for FEA, Thermal, Aerodynamics, would be an advantage.
Skilled at working from high‑level program requirements. Organizes, schedules and delegates tasks to an engineering team
Familiarity with UAVs and related engineering design processes highly desirable.
Familiarity with electro‑mechanical/mechanism design, aerodynamics, “data engineering” (instrumentation/data acquisition/data analysis) would be a considerable advantage
Has creativity and the interest to invent and improve vehicle systems and motivated to make things happen
Exhibits strong written and verbal communication skills and effectively communicates with one's intended audience.
Demonstrates strong interpersonal skills and works well with others across disciplines
Demonstrates strong presentation skills for formal reviews both internally and externally
Able to excel in a fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environment, where small teams share a variety of duties.
Displays strong initiative and drive to accomplish goals and meet company objectives
Takes ownership and responsibility for current and past work products
Is committed to learning from mistakes and driven to improve and enhance performance of oneself, others and the company
Physical Demands
Ability to work in an office and manufacturing environment (Constant)
Required to sit and stand for long periods; talk, hear, and use hands and fingers to operate a computer and telephone keyboard (Frequent)
Salary Range $93,371 - $132,300
ITAR Requirement This position requires access to information that is subject to compliance with the International Traffic Arms Regulations ("ITAR") and/or the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR"). In order to comply with the requirements of the ITAR and/or the EAR, applicants must qualify as a U.S. person under the ITAR and the EAR, or a person to be approved for an export license by the governing agency whose technology comes under its jurisdiction.
Applicants must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. lawful permanent resident (green card holder), or a protected individual such as a refugee or asylee.
Some positions may require current U.S. Citizenship due to contract requirements.
Benefits AV offers an excellent benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401K with company matching, a 9/80 work schedule and a paid holiday shutdown.
Who We Are Based in California, AeroVironment (AVAV) is a global leader in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and tactical missile systems.
What We Do Building on a history of technological innovation, AeroVironment designs, develops, produces, and supports an advanced portfolio of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and tactical missile systems.
Agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense and allied military services use the company’s hand‑launched UAS to provide situational awareness to tactical operating units through real‑time, airborne reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition.
