Full job description

Job Summary
Aerialworx Innovations is looking for a hands-on Product Design & Manufacturing Engineer to join our core engineering team working on NX3, a heavy-lift drone platform pushing beyond what's possible with consumer off-the-shelf systems.

You'll work directly on airframe design, tooling, and physical prototyping — taking NX3 components from CAD through to CNC/composite manufacture and flight-ready hardware. This is a rare opportunity to shape the physical design of a next-generation drone platform from the ground up, working alongside our product design and autonomy teams.

What You'll Be Doing

Designing and refining airframe, and structural components in CAD (Fusion 360), working within NX3's design language and weight/performance targets
Generating CNC toolpaths and running CAM/CNC machining for prototype and production parts
Laying up and finishing composite components (carbon fibre and related materials) for structural and aerodynamic parts
Operating and iterating on our in-house 3D printing capability for rapid prototyping and low-volume production
Working closely with our Product Designer and autonomy/electrical engineering team to integrate mechanical design with avionics, motor/prop assemblies, and landing gear
Contributing to design-for-manufacture decisions as NX3 progresses from prototype toward small-batch production
Designing tooling and fixtures to support manufacturing operations, working to GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing) standards for precision
Conducting root cause analysis on manufacturing and build issues, and implementing corrective actions to improve product quality and reliability
Driving continuous improvement initiatives to reduce waste, improve cycle times, and enhance part performance
Maintaining design documentation and version control across CAD models and manufacturing drawings

What We're Looking For

Essential:

Proven experience in product/mechanical design using CAD (Fusion 360, Parametric Design, FEA and Rendering)
Practical CAM and CNC machining experience — able to go from model to toolpath to finished part
Hands-on composite fabrication experience (layup, moulding, finishing)
3D printing experience across prototyping and functional parts (FDM and/or resin)
Strong general engineering/mechanical aptitude and comfort working across the full design-to-build pipeline
Working knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing) principles
Ability to run root cause analysis on manufacturing issues and implement corrective actions
Ability to work independently in a small, fast-moving team and take a design from concept to physical part
A hands-on and flexible approach

Desirable:

Experience designing components for UAS/aerospace or other weight-critical, high-performance applications
Familiarity with mould-tooling workflows
Exposure to DFM/DFA practices for low-volume production scale-up
Interest or background in drone systems or aviation
Programming skills (e.g. Python, G-code scripting, or similar) advantageous

What You Will Bring

Excellent attention to detail and operational awareness
A positive and proactive attitude
The ability to remain calm and organised under pressure

Join us in shaping the future of drone technology through innovative design and precise manufacturing! This role offers a vibrant environment where your technical skills will directly impact the development of next-generation unmanned aerial systems. We value proactive problem-solvers who thrive on challenges and are passionate about advancing aerospace engineering through meticulous craftsmanship and continuous innovation.

Pay: £25,500.00-£32,500.00 per year

Benefits:

Canteen
Casual dress
Free parking
On-site gym
On-site parking

Work Location: In person
