The role

As a Mechanical Design / Creative Engineer, you will design, prototype, and bring to life advanced mechanical and structural solutions for UAV systems. Your focus lies on sensor integration, RF payloads, and lightweight, high-performance components.

You operate at the intersection of creativity and execution, turning field feedback, failure data, and real-world insights into rapid design improvements. Your work directly impacts UAV reliability, resilience, and performance in demanding environments.

Key responsibilities

Design & Prototyping

Design and optimise mechanical components, sensor mounts, RF structures, and payload integrations
Develop complex 3D CAD models and assemblies in SolidWorks (surfacing, configurations)
Leverage additive manufacturing (MJF, SLS, FDM, SLA) for rapid prototyping and low-volume production
Work with advanced materials such as PA12, carbon composites, and high-temperature polymers
Design for manufacturability: tolerances, wall thickness, support strategies, post-processing
Create modular, serviceable designs for fast field repair and replacement

System Adaptation & Validation

Translate real-world feedback into fast design iterations
Perform structural analysis (hand calculations + basic FEA)
Validate designs against stress, vibration, thermal, and environmental conditions
Ensure aerodynamic efficiency of external components (fairings, radomes, pods)
Design with sealing, crash tolerance, and EMC considerations in mind

Integration & UAV Performance

Develop low-drag housings and payload structures for UAV platforms
Understand how design choices affect flight stability, endurance, and performance
Ensure compatibility across systems, payloads, and configurations

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

Work closely with Integration, Flight Test, and Software Engineers
Participate in hands-on assembly, testing, and validation (lab & field)
Explore new materials, manufacturing techniques, and design approaches
Maintain strong documentation and configuration control using PDM

What you bring

Background

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical, Aerospace, Industrial Design, or Mechatronics Engineering
3–8 years of experience in UAVs, aerospace, robotics, or advanced hardware
Proven experience delivering real-world hardware (frames, gimbals, radomes, sensor pods)
Comfortable working in fast design–build–test cycles

Technical skills

Strong proficiency in SolidWorks (surfacing, assemblies, configurations) and PDM
Hands-on experience with additive manufacturing (MJF, SLS, FDM, SLA)
Solid understanding of advanced materials (PA12, carbon fibre composites, reinforced polymers)
Experience with structural analysis, vibration design, and basic FEA
Knowledge of aerodynamics in small UAV systems
Familiarity with FMEA, CFD, and EMC-aware design is a plus

Your mindset

Hands-on engineer who enjoys being in the lab (or hangar)
Thrives under pressure and embraces rapid iteration
Balances speed with precision and structural integrity
Creative, pragmatic, and solution-driven
Strong discipline in documentation and version control

What we offer

Coaching and professional growth opportunities
27 vacation days (based on full-time)
38-hour workweek with flexible working hours
Travel reimbursement of €0.23/km or a fully covered NS Business Card
Excellent pension scheme through the PME pension fund
Work in an innovative, high-tech environment with real-world impact
Open, informal company culture where your ideas are valued
Lunch provided by DeltaQuad, monthly team drinks, and regular team activities
