  • Develop novel aerosol dispersal mechanisms, including nozzle design, flow control, and payload integration
  • Conduct computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and wind tunnel testing to validate design concepts
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including avionics, controls, and software engineers, to ensure seamless system integration
  • Oversee prototype fabrication, testing, and iterative design improvements
  • Ensure compliance with relevant safety, regulatory, and industry standards
  • Document design processes, test results, and performance data
  • Provide technical expertise and support to the broader engineering team

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
  • Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA) and FEA/CFD tools (e.g., ANSYS, COMSOL)
  • Strong understanding of aerodynamics, structural mechanics, and fluid dynamics
  • Experience in prototyping, testing, and validating engineering designs
  • Excellent problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and communicate technical information effectively
