Swarm Aero is an aerospace and defense company that develops large-scale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms to operate in coordinated drone swarms for defense, logistics, and sensing missions. Backed by Purple Arch Ventures.
About the role
We are building a Group 5 autonomous aircraft and driving it to first flight. We are in detailed design with tooling in work, and we are looking for a structures design engineer to own parts on that aircraft from concept through first article.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field (advanced degree preferred)
- 5+ years of experience in composite structure design for aircraft, spacecraft, or similar vehicles
- Deep understanding of composite and metal material properties, composite laminate design, composite structure analysis, bonding and joining techniques
- Strong expertise in CAD software, particularly Siemens NX and Fibersim, or equivalent software
- Led the design and analysis of composite structures throughout the product lifecycle, from conceptualization to production
- Hands-on experience with composite part fabrication and bonding
More about this role
Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world. The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results.
The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.
