Mechanical Engineer — World Record Drone Project

About OneSec OneSec is making food delivery 3 times faster and 10 times cheaper, by developing small AI powered delivery drones. Visit our website for more info: www.OneSec.com Role Overview OneSec has developed an experimental drone that can beat the world record for longest ever drone flight. Achieving 5 hours 10 minutes of flight time, compared to the previous records of 3-4 hours. Your job will be to implement additional improvements, that are estimated to increase the record further, to almost 6 hours. You will take ownership of key parts of the aircraft’s mechanical design, including its airframe, propulsion integration, battery structure, lightweight components, and manufacturing approach. This is a highly practical role involving CAD design, 3D printing, workshop assembly, testing, and rapid iteration. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to participate directly in an official world-record. Key Responsibilities Design and optimize the drone’s mechanical structure in SolidWorks Reduce aircraft weight while maintaining sufficient strength and stiffness Design mounts, enclosures, battery structures, landing components, and propulsion-system interfaces Produce parts using 3D printing, CNC machining, composites, and other rapid-prototyping methods Assemble, modify, and repair physical prototypes in the workshop Conduct structural, vibration, endurance, and flight-related tests Analyze failures and rapidly redesign components based on test results Work closely with electrical, propulsion, and flight-control engineers Help prepare the aircraft for an official world-record flight attempt Qualifications Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field Strong SolidWorks or equivalent CAD skills Experience designing parts that have been physically manufactured and assembled Familiarity with 3D printing and rapid prototyping Comfortable using workshop tools such as drills, Dremels, saws, adhesives, and hand tools Good understanding of mechanical design, materials, fasteners, tolerances, and structural loads Experience with lightweight structures, composites, drones, aircraft, or robotics is a plus Strong problem-solving skills and a practical, hands-on approach Why You’ll Love Working Here Break a world record Work with an exceptionally talented team Work on cutting edge drone & AI technology Design, manufacture, test, and fly real hardware Good compensation Equity participation (Stock options)
