About Mach Industries

Mach Industries is building faster, smarter defense infrastructure for the modern era. Backed by Khosla and Sequoia.

About the role

Mach Industries is seeking an Air Vehicle Design Engineer to shape and integrate next-generation unmanned aircraft and missile systems. You will turn mission requirements into viable vehicle configurations, own the outer mold line (OML), and create the parametric geometry that carries each concept from an initial layout toward manufacturable hardware and flight test.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
  • 2+ years of professional experience in aircraft, missile, or unmanned vehicle design
  • Experience with conceptual or preliminary vehicle design, including first-order sizing, configuration development, layout, or multidisciplinary trade studies
  • Hands-on experience defining and maintaining vehicle OML geometry, including lofting and surfacing aerodynamic shapes
  • Proficiency in NX, CATIA, Creo, or equivalent CAD software, including parametric modeling and model architectures that support rapid configuration changes
  • Demonstrated ability to translate requirements and engineering constraints into vehicle geometry
