As Mechanical Engineer you will be developing and designing parts and mechanical assemblies for the drone and base station of Sunflower Labs Beehive 1 System (drone-in-a-box solution).
This position is for an on-site employee for our Zurich office. You will be working closely with other mechanical engineers, robotics engineers, and electrical engineers to deliver models and drawings of mechanical components and assemblies, as well as test fixtures.
Responsibilities
- Use CAD (Solidworks) to design mechanical components, assemblies and test fixtures
- Conduct DFM and DFA review of mechanical parts and assemblies
- Generate mechanical drawings with proper geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) per ISO
- Fabricate and validate hardware prototypes and electromechanical systems by writing test plans, designing test fixtures and performing verification tests together with our production team
- Design thermal solutions, using a combination of CFD, FEA and thermal simulations and empirical tests
- Write and maintain production documentation such as SOPs
