About the Company
ANAVIA specializes in the design, development, and manufacturing of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) systems capable of supporting payloads of up to 500 kilograms. We provide leading-edge unmanned helicopter systems designed for various mission profiles, including Surveillance & Reconnaissance, Inspection, Mapping, and Cargo.
Position: Mechanical Design Engineer
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, analysis, and testing of mechanical systems and components for unmanned helicopters. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that mechanical designs meet performance specifications, safety standards, and regulatory requirements.
Your Main Tasks
- Mechanical Design: Design and develop mechanical systems for unmanned helicopters, including structural components, landing gear, propulsion systems, control mechanisms, and rotor head systems.
- Analysis and Simulation: Perform mechanical analysis and simulations, such as finite element analysis, to evaluate the structural integrity and performance of designs under various load conditions.
- Prototyping and Testing: Collaborate with manufacturing and testing teams to build prototypes and conduct tests to validate mechanical designs and ensure compliance with specifications.
- Documentation: Prepare detailed engineering documentation, including design specifications, testing procedures, and maintenance manuals.
- Collaboration: Work closely with electrical, aerodynamic, and software engineering teams to ensure integrated design and performance of the unmanned helicopter systems.
- Compliance Assurance: Ensure all mechanical designs comply with relevant industry standards, safety regulations, and company policies.
- Continuous Improvement: Stay informed about advancements in mechanical engineering and UAV technology, integrating best practices into design processes.
Qualifications
We are looking for candidates who can convince us of the following:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field; a master’s degree is an advantage.
- Proven experience in mechanical engineering, preferably in the manned helicopter industry.
- Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, materials science, and manufacturing processes.
- Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., CREO, SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX) and simulation tools.
- Excellent communication skills, with strong social skills and good analytical abilities.
