Structure Design Engineer

Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world. The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results. The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic. About this role This is a general application for structures and composite design engineers. We hire across the full structures lifecycle, including: • Composite primary structure design (wing, fuselage, empennage) • Composite secondary structure and fairings • Metallic structure design (fittings, frames, machined parts) • Structural joints, bonded assemblies, and attachments • Laminate design and ply definition • Tooling and producibility collaboration with manufacturing • Structural repair and sustainment design We may not have an active opening that matches your exact background today. When we do, we will reach out. Strong candidates are reviewed by our engineering leadership on a rolling basis. What you might work on • Own the design of major composite airframe structure from concept through first flight • Define laminates, ply drops, and core layouts that balance weight, strength, and producibility • Design bonded and bolted joints for primary structure • Work side by side with stress analysts to close margins and iterate quickly • Partner with composites manufacturing on layup, cure, and assembly methods • Release engineering drawings and models that shops can actually build from • Support structural test campaigns and incorporate findings back into the design What we look for • BS or MS in Mechanical, Aerospace, or a rel
