Job Summary

Own the end-to-end mechanical architecture of flagship multirotor (quadcopter) platforms, from CAD concept and structural design through electromechanical packaging, prototyping, and production release. Design lightweight airframes in SolidWorks, integrate PCBs and harnessing into custom volumes, run lab validation (vibration, modal, thermal, drop), and perform structural/thermal simulations. Partner on DFM for injection molding, CNC, sheet metal, and additive manufacturing.

Location: Switzerland

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Field Service, Maintenance & Skilled Trades

Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

•Lead mechanical design and modeling of lightweight quadcopter structures and subsystems in SolidWorks from concept to production.
•Drive electromechanical packaging by creating spatial layouts and enclosures that integrate electrical components into custom airframe volumes.
•Build functional prototypes and execute hands-on lab validation including vibrational testing, modal analysis, thermal chamber runs, and drop testing (and assist with flight tests).
•Perform structural (FEA), modal, and thermal simulations plus tolerance stack-up analyses for extreme operational environments.
•Partner with industrialisation, procurement, and suppliers to optimize parts for plastic injection molding, CNC machining, sheet metal, and additive manufacturing.

Key Requirements

•M.Sc. or B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field (FH / HES / University of Applied Sciences).
•4+ years of hands-on UAV design and development experience with physical drone airframes/multirotors/flight hardware, or 6+ years in robotics, autonomous systems, or high-density electromechanical hardware.
•Proven end-to-end ownership taking electromechanical assemblies from CAD concepts to functional prototypes and physical production hardware.
•Practical DFM grounding for plastic injection molding, CNC machining, sheet metal, and 3D printing, with direct supplier collaboration.
•Ability to manage real-world physical constraints including structural rigidity, heat dissipation, and vibration isolation.
