About the role<\/b><\/div>

As a Jr. Mechanical Design Engineer<\/b>, you\u2019ll be part of the team that turns bold ideas into production\-ready platforms.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> While avionics and propulsion drive what happens inside, your work will shape the subsystems and mechanisms that the user sees, trusts, and depends on in the field<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>. You\u2019ll focus on designing and prototyping structural and mechanical subsystems, helping build hardware that is lightweight, rugged, and ready for the field. This is a hands\-on role where you\u2019ll learn fast, contribute from day one, and grow into a core part of Unmannd\u2019s engineering DNA.<\/span>
