Description
Summary:
Join our team to contribute to the mechanical development and continuous improvement of the AR3, working across design, prototyping, testing, and implementation of a complex UAV.
Highlights:
1. Work hands-on with a complex UAV and solve real engineering challenges
2. Contribute to the continuous improvement of the AR3 platform
3. Dynamic and collaborative working environment with real impact
**Mission:**
You will contribute to the mechanical development and continuous improvement of the AR3, working across design, prototyping, testing and implementation. You’ll have the opportunity to work hands\-on with a complex UAV, solve real engineering challenges and see your work go from concept to a product that actually flies.
Maybe you'll even learn how to fly the AR3!
**Main Responsabilities:**
* Support the mechanical development and continuous improvement of the AR3;
* Translate engineering requirements and ideas into practical, functional and manufacturable mechanical designs;
* Design, adapt and improve mechanical components and assemblies using CAD tools;
* Build, adapt and test prototypes, iterating on designs based on testing and real\-world results;
* Support the development of product changes, from initial concept and design through prototyping, testing and implementation;
* Identify mechanical issues and contribute to root cause analysis and practical solutions;
* Work closely with Engineering, Design, Manufacturing and other teams to bring products and improvements into production;
* Consider manufacturability, materials, assembly and fabrication methods throughout the design process;
* Contribute to the continuous improvement of the AR3 platform.
