Are you passionate about designing cutting-edge hardware for autonomous systems? At Six Robotics, we develop advanced drone platforms for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance), combining software innovation with a diverse range of hardware—drones, sensors, cameras, embedded GPUs, and more. As we expand our hardware capabilities, we seek a Mechanical Engineer to enhance the design, manufacturing, and testing processes of our drone platforms.

Role Overview:
As a Mechanical Engineer, you will play a critical role in refining and evolving our existing drone platforms to improve manufacturability and performance. In addition, you will oversee the mechanical hardware for our hardware-in-the-loop test environment. This position combines hands-on design, supplier management, and the development of cutting-edge lab environments to support our software and AI teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and modify mechanical components for existing and future drone models using 3D CAD.
• Optimize drone designs for faster, more efficient manufacturing processes.
• Utilize 3D printing and additive manufacturing techniques for prototyping and part production.
• Manage relationships with suppliers and external manufacturing partners.
• Oversee and develop our hardware lab and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test suite to support the software team.
• Perform FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations to enhance performance and structural integrity.

Requirements:

• Proficiency in 3D CAD design and experience designing complex mechanical parts.
• Hands-on experience with 3D printing and additive manufacturing.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and ability to manage suppliers.
• Experience maintaining and improving hardware lab environments for testing and development.
• Knowledge of FEM and CFD analysis tools.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with drone or robotics design.
• Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing environments.
• Background in fluid dynamics or thermal analysis for UAV systems.

We Offer:

• A dynamic and collaborative work environment driven by innovation.
• The opportunity to shape the next generation of drone technology.
• Access to a state-of-the-art hardware lab and development tools.
• Competitive salary, benefits, and opportunities for career growth.
• A team dedicated to high standards, structured development, and technical excellence.
