Skydio’s mechanical systems are the backbone of reliable autonomous flight. An intelligent flying machine depends on world-class engineering and an eye for detail while optimizing for simplicity; you will help architect, develop, and refine the structures, mechanisms and solutions that bring autonomous flight to a broad audience in a highly collaborative environment.

How you’ll make an impact:

Design mechanical parts and assemblies for our aircraft, ground stations, and accessories, working alongside senior engineers on new architectures and taking ownership of components as you grow.

Partner with electrical engineers to integrate custom PCBAs, flex circuits, antennas, and cable harnesses into mechanical designs.

Work with vendors on technical questions and part reviews, in collaboration with our operations and supply chain teams.

Plan and run engineering tests, and use analysis to evaluate design trade-offs and verify that your parts perform as intended.

Follow your designs through the full development cycle, from early prototypes to pre-production and mass production, and help our manufacturing teams with assembly processes and quality and inspection criteria.

Investigate and debug failures, digging into the details to find root causes.

What you’ll get:

Mentorship from experienced mechanical engineers and regular design reviews that help you build judgment quickly.

Hands-on exposure to the whole hardware lifecycle on products that ship at scale.

A growing scope of ownership as you show what you can do.
