    Default job background
    Description

    Pyka is looking for a Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Engineer to help rapidly mature our vehicle's electrical propulsion system. In this role you will work with internal teams and external vendors to design, test, manufacture, and improve critical components of our electric propulsion system.

    Candidates who enjoy fast-paced environments, have a passion for taking products from early development to manufacturing at scale, and enjoy working with a small dedicated team will thrive in this role.

    In the first six months you will:

    • Develop improved manufacturing processes and fixtures for our batteries, motors, and motor controllers.
    • Root cause failure modes associated with our propulsion system and propose new designs, processes, etc. to address said failure modes.
    • Develop and test new design concepts to waterproof our motors and batteries.
    • Collaborate with contract manufacturers to improve their manufacturing processes.

    About Pyka

    Pyka's goal is to provide society with a new form of safe, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation.

    To get there, we're taking a different approach than most. We're applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be useful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. In doing so, we're building game-changing products manufactured at scale, while perfecting the safety, reliability, and capabilities of our autonomy engine and electric propulsion systems.

    We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon-fiber composite airframes.

    Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection to real-world customers across four separate continents and have secured industry-first regulatory approvals from the FAA.

    Our cargo aircraft enables remote connectivity, enhances express delivery networks, and ensures fast and reliable shipping of critical supplies to areas in need. Our crop protection aircraft offers agricultural services providers and farmers an autonomous tool to make aerial application safer, more precise, and less harmful to surrounding environments. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce CO2 emissions in their respective industries.

    What you work on at Pyka makes people's lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day.

    Responsibilities:

    • Improve the reliability, manufacturability, and performance of existing propulsion system designs

    • Drive the conceptual design, prototyping, testing, iteration, and documentation of new propulsion system designs

    • Address and thoroughly root cause issues found during operations and testing

    • Create 3D CAD, drawings, and manufacturing documents with meticulous attention to detail

    • Work with our manufacturing teams as well as third party vendors to build tools and processes to facilitate accurate and consistent manufacture of subsystems

    Preferred Qualifications:

    • 2+ years of experience designing, testing, and deploying electro-mechanical systems

    • Knowledge of the physics, failure modes, and design practices electro-mechanical systems

    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

    • Attention to detail and ability to root cause hardware problems

    • Values simplicity and pace in both the way you design and the way you work

    • Expertise in any 3D CAD package (Solidworks, NX, Inventor)

    • Experience using FEA and hand calculations to validate mechanical designs

    • Ability and excitement to be in a prototyping shop building things with your hands

    • Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
