Mechanical Engineer
Furientis, Los Angeles, CA
The role
America is critically deficient in production of defensive munitions- we currently produce shipborne interceptors in the few hundreds per year while our adversaries are producing offensive threats in the tens of thousands per year. Furientis was started to help solve this problem- introducing a new class of cost-effective, high production rate, interceptor missiles. We're seeking motivated individuals who internalize this problem and are eager to apply their past experience in similar industries (aerospace, defense, automotive/racing, robotics) and out of the box thinking to solve this problem for the US and its allies.
You will design, analyze, build, and test primary and secondary structures, the mechanisms that move on the vehicle, and the launcher and ground support equipment the program runs on. You will work alongside our Principal Mechanical Engineer.
This is a generalist role. We do not have the headcount yet to split airframe, mechanisms, GSE, and launcher across separate engineers, and we are not trying to. The right person reaches across all of it, makes the calls that need making, and pulls in deeper analysis or outside help where the problem warrants it.
