## About the role

Small drones are hard to hit. Hitting them from a moving aircraft is harder. We need a Principal Engineer to own Omen’s airborne counter-UAS effector payload end to end, and to build the team around it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years designing electromechanical hardware, including at least one product you carried from concept to production
- Strong engineering background, ideally in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace, or Electrical Engineering
- Experience leading multidisciplinary teams, including hiring
- Deep mechanical design capability: structures under high transient loads, precision mechanisms, tolerance stack-ups, and joint design
- Experience sizing actuators for precision pointing, and a working grasp of the control bandwidth tradeoffs that come with it
- Experience with vibration and shock isolation, including isolator selection and the dynamic analysis behind it
