About Sphere Defense
They are a
fully funded
startup with the mission of providing Europe with sovereign, effective and affordable autonomous countermeasures to neutralize todays’ and tomorrow’s aerial threats. They were founded recently by industry veterans with previous successful exits, and are headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, in the heart of Europe. Who we look for and what you’ll do
You are an experienced and highly-motivated Mechanical Design Engineer that has worked with miniaturized, integrated electrical-mechanical products. Ideally, you have worked on flying robots. Experience owning mechanical subsystems from concept to production (not only single components).
Ability to define the electromechanical system architecture (mounting points, integration with electronics, materials, production technologies).
Be one of the first members of a high-performing team, designing and developing autonomous countermeasures to protect countries from aerial threats
Design, develop, prototype and test electromechanical systems for flying devices
Calculate tolerances, stress and buffers to ensure the correct balance between cost, durability and performance
Identify and interface with external prototype and production partners
Work closely with the electrical engineering team for co-design
Ensure the designs adhere to the industrial quality standards by drafting test plans and working with test houses for validation and certification
Draft production-level documentation, including GD&T, during the entire product lifecycle
Be a team player and a mentor, being available to support the team when needed
Location:
