About the Role

KRUSH Tech is seeking a Lead Mechanical Systems Engineer to provide technical leadership for the design, development, and integration of mechanical systems for advanced UAS platforms. This role involves defining the mechanical architecture, establishing engineering standards, and leading multidisciplinary teams through product development from concept to production, ensuring products are lightweight, reliable, manufacturable, and optimized for high-performance aerospace applications.

Responsibilities

Lead the Mechanical Engineering team, providing technical direction, mentorship, and oversight across multiple development programs.
Own the mechanical architecture for advanced UAS platforms, ensuring designs meet performance, reliability, weight, manufacturability, and cost objectives.
Drive mechanical product development from concept through prototype validation, design verification, and production release.
Establish and maintain engineering standards, design review processes, quality controls, and mechanical design best practices.
Lead complex engineering trade studies, technical risk assessments, and critical design decisions throughout the product lifecycle.
Collaborate closely with Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Software, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Quality teams to ensure seamless product integration and production readiness.
Represent the Mechanical Engineering organization in executive reviews, customer engagements, supplier discussions, and cross-functional technical planning while supporting long-term technology roadmaps and continuous engineering improvement.

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
6+ years of experience developing complex mechanical systems for aerospace, defense, robotics, automotive, or other high-reliability products.
Proven expertise in mechanical system architecture, structural design, materials selection, manufacturing processes, tolerance analysis, thermal management, and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles.
Extensive experience with CAD, PDM/PLM systems, engineering analysis, product validation, and configuration management throughout the product lifecycle.
Strong understanding of systems engineering principles and multidisciplinary integration involving electronics, embedded systems, manufacturing, and production.
Demonstrated ability to lead engineering teams, develop technical roadmaps, manage technical risk, and drive engineering excellence across multiple projects.
Experience developing mechanical systems for UAS, aerospace, defense, robotics, or autonomous platforms.
Experience with lightweight composite structures, precision mechanical assemblies, environmental qualification, and vibration or structural analysis.
Proficiency with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, SolidWorks Simulation, SolidWorks Motion, PDM/PLM systems, Jira, and modern engineering collaboration tools.
Experience supporting prototype development, supplier qualification, and transition to high-volume manufacturing.
