HavocAI is seeking a Senior Rapid Prototyping Engineer to lead the technical maturation of Locust, our advanced unmanned aircraft system (UAS), as it transitions from a demonstrated prototype to a Department of Defense (DoD) fieldable, Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) platform.

This role is for an engineer who wants to spend significant time working directly with hardware. You will turn early concepts into functioning prototypes, integrate mechanical and electrical systems, troubleshoot vehicles, conduct tests, and make fast design changes based on what you learn.

Rapidly turn concepts and requirements into functional drone prototypes

Design and modify airframes, mechanisms, brackets, mounts, enclosures, payload interfaces, and vehicle components

Build and assemble prototype unmanned aircraft and subsystems

Integrate motors, propulsion systems, batteries, avionics, sensors, compute hardware, communications, equipment, and payloads

Create quick-turn CAD designs and engineering drawings

Use additive manufacturing, CNC machining, sheet metal, composites, and other fabrication methods to produce prototype parts

Perform hands-on fabrication, assembly, rework, and modification of prototype hardware

Develop test fixtures and experimental setups

Support bench testing, ground testing, environmental testing, and flight testing

Diagnose hardware and integration failures across mechanical and electromechanical systems
