Own the mechanical lifecycle of airship drones, bridging engineering design with operational reliability. In collaboration with the Mech Team, lead conceptual design of new mechanical subsystems and airframe evolutions, then build reliability through fatigue modeling and accelerated life tests (HALT/HASS). Drive root-cause analysis for field failures, maintaining a tight feedback loop with operations. Spend time on the shop floor during test and flight activities to ensure what you design works in the field.

Location: Paris
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: QA, Test & Release Engineering
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Serve as technical owner of the drone’s mechanical lifecycle, ensuring robustness and mission-critical availability.
  • •Lead conceptual mechanical subsystem and airframe design, transforming prototypes into functional products via rapid iteration (CAD, 3D printing, machining) and design-for-manufacturing.
  • •Create fatigue models and design accelerated life tests (HALT/HASS) to predict end-of-life and maximize fleet availability.
  • •Implement systematic Root Cause Analysis for field failures and drive rapid design updates with a strong feedback loop to operations.
  • •Provide on-site support during test and flight activities to validate designs in the workshop and field.

Pay and Benefits

Salary: EUR 45,000 - 60,000 annually
Perks:Meal AllowanceBike

Key Requirements

  • •Mechanical Engineering degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • •3+ years designing rugged outdoor mechanical systems with experience in material fatigue/vibration and reliability testing.
  • •Experience with test planning (DoE), designing test equipment (fixtures/set-ups), running tests, analyzing results, and writing reports/specifications.
  • •Comfort alternating between deep design work for new versions and operational production support.
  • •Shop-floor mindset: enjoy workshops and ensure the physical product works, not just CAD delivery.
