Performance Drone Works (PDW) is building the next generation of tactical robotic systems used across defense, national security, and public safety missions. Backed by Squadra Ventures.
About the role
Now, we’re entering a new phase of growth and are loo king for a Junior Mechanical Engineer to help develop drones, payloads, and supporting hardware from concept through production. This role is intended for a recent graduate or early-career engineer who can complete defined engineering tasks with increasing independence while receiving guidance and design review from experienced engineers.
What they're looking for
- Design mechanical components and simple assemblies for drones, payloads, and supporting systems with guidance from experienced engineers
- Create and revise 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, BOMs, and other design documentation
- Create and compare design concepts, perform supporting calculations, and communicate key tradeoffs
- Build, assemble, and troubleshoot prototypes using 3D printing, machining, and other fabrication methods
- Execute defined test plans, analyze results and failures, and document recommended design improvements
- Design test fixtures, assembly jigs, and other tooling for engineering and manufacturing use
