Mechanical Engineer

Sentradel

About Sentradel

Over 90 percent of combat deaths in Ukraine are caused by small drones. In Colombia, over 100 military and police officers have been killed by cartel operated drones. Shahed drones hit civilian and military targets across the Middle East uncontested. Unjammable fiber optic and AI controlled drones are making the threat cheaper, faster, and harder to stop. This problem will only get worse.


Sentradel is a defense startup in San Francisco building autonomous, low cost kinetic turret systems designed to defeat Group 1 (small FPV drones) and low flying Group 2 drone threats. We have shot down dozens of drones in live fire testing, have active Department of War agreements, commercial partnerships, and sales.

How we work

Full time, in person at our San Francisco office. We also travel and test frequently at our Nevada range, and across the US at demos with partners and customers.


Job Overview

We are seeking a mechanical engineer to join the team developing Sentradel's next generation counter UAS platform. You will design, iterate, test, and build the mechanical systems of the turret.

Responsibilities
• Redesign and optimize components on the current product generation to reduce manufacturing time, cost, and complexity
• Design components for the next product generation
• Create part and assembly designs in Fusion 360
• Work closely with the manufacturing team to keep designs manufacturable and iterate quickly

Qualifications
• Substantial experience with part design and 3D modeling in Fusion 360
• Experience designing parts machined on a 3 axis CNC, primarily aluminum
• Experience with additive manufacturing
• Deep understanding of designs for manufacturability, i.e., CNC vs additive

US Person Requirement

Sentradel is a US defense contractor and this role involves access to export-controlled technical data. Applicants must be a US Person as defined under ITAR (22 CFR 120.62): a US citizen, US lawful permanent resident (green card holder), or a protected individual such as a refugee or asylee.
