Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Seattle, WA

Lead architecture, design, and development of precision wire harnesses and cable assemblies for autonomous UAVs. Own 3D CAD routing, analysis, prototypes, and testing. Perform electrical and environmental reliability analysis, integrate with avionics/systems/manufacturing, and mentor engineers to establish harness design best practices.

Lead design, development, simulation, testing, and integration of fluid and thermal systems for autonomous aircraft and ground platforms. Drive first-principles modeling, prototype validation, supplier selection, and mentor junior engineers while ensuring system-level thermal performance from concept through production.

Design and develop structural and mechanism systems for autonomous UAV launch/recovery. Create CAD models, perform structural and kinematic calculations and preliminary FEA, prototype and test mechanisms, support pre-production and flight testing, collaborate with cross-functional teams, participate in design reviews, and improve design processes and configuration management.

Lead design and delivery of flight-critical power electronics for the X-BAT aircraft, including inverters, DC-DC converters, and battery management. Own full hardware development cycle, drive PCB layout, harden designs for harsh environments, mentor engineers, lead reviews, and manage program timelines through production.

Lead vibration test programs: design and build instrumented test setups, run shaker table and modal tests, analyze frequency/time-domain data, correlate with FEA, investigate failures, and produce test plans/reports to qualify aerospace hardware.

Design and execute test strategies for flight-critical XBat software and systems. Develop test plans/procedures, run V&V and regression tests, analyze test data, troubleshoot issues, and collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and program teams to ensure performance, reliability, and mission readiness.

Design and develop primary and secondary structural components for a next-generation UAV platform from concept through production. Create CAD models and drawings, perform hand calculations and basic FEA, collaborate with cross-functional teams for system integration, support structural testing and validation, resolve manufacturing and flight-test issues, and produce engineering documentation in compliance with aerospace standards.

Define and operationalize company-wide engineering design standards for aerospace programs (VBAT, XBAT). Standardize CAD, drawing quality, design/analysis workflows, documentation, EBOM/MBOM handoffs, and configuration management. Partner with engineering leaders to scale engineering excellence, influence cross-discipline design decisions, and improve consistency without blocking execution.

Design, build, and automate electrical test systems and PCBs for UAVs. Integrate test fixtures, script test sequences (Python), perform environmental testing, and collaborate on cross-functional validation to ensure hardware reliability.

Design and release propulsion hardware for a low-bypass turbofan UAV across engine, fuel, oil, and bleed air systems. Create CAD models/drawings (Siemens NX), apply GD&T, support manufacturing, testing, BOM/configuration control, analyses (hand calcs, FEA, GFSSP, REFPROP), and collaborate with production, flight test, and cross-functional teams.
