Why we need you:

• With that vision in mind, we are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our Mechanical Engineering team. The goal of the Senior Mechanical Engineer at Wisk is to design and analyze mechanical structures to build the first fully autonomous all-electric aircraft that performs and operates safely in an urban air-mobility environment. 
• The successful candidate is highly motivated, and results driven. Using strong understanding of first principles to mature designs. You will be working in a fast paced environment with the focus of developing the future of electric aviation. 

What you will do:

• Design (75%) and analyze (25%) mechanical structure
• Preform trade studies to inform design decisions
• Create 3D CAD models using NX
• Create, run and post process basic analysis simulations
• Create and release 2D mechanical design drawings
• Perform analysis using first principle techniques to validate mechanical and thermal aspects of the design
• Make design considerations for mass optimization, structural integrity, thermal consideration, and safety
