Mechanical Engineer

At Avidyne, we exist to make aircraft easier to fly.

Our mission, Simply Flying, guides the products we design and the way we work. We build avionics that are high-quality, intuitive, and straightforward to install — helping pilots focus on what matters most.

Mechanical Design & Documentation

• Design complex electromechanical devices, electronics packaging, and human interface components for aircraft cockpit displays using advanced 3D modeling.

• Develop and maintain engineering documentation — drawings, specifications, bills of materials, and design records — to support certification and production.

• Design sheet metal, machined, cast, and injection molded parts with attention to structural integrity, weight optimization, and manufacturability.

• Create and maintain design models and assemblies that integrate electrical, thermal, and mechanical subsystems within avionics products.

Verification & Environmental Testing

• Plan and execute design verification activities, including structural analysis, thermal evaluation, and functional testing of mechanical assemblies.

• Perform environmental qualification testing in accordance with DO-160 and other applicable aviation standards, documenting results and resolving nonconformances.

• Build and evaluate prototypes to validate design concepts and support iterative development cycles.

• Analyze test data, identify root causes of design deficiencies, and implement corrective actions.

Production & Manufacturing Support

• Collaborate with manufacturing teams to transition designs from development to production, keeping design intent intact and manufacturability optimized.

• Interface with sub-assembly suppliers and contract manufacturers to communicate design requirements and resolve production issues.

• Apply design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) principles to reduce cost and improve quality.

• Support production troubleshooting by investigating field issues and recommending design or process improvements.

• Experience designing avionics hardware, cockpit displays, or human-machine interfaces for aircraft applications.

• Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or SolidWorks Simulation.

• Familiarity with additive manufacturing techniques and their application to prototyping and low-volume production.

• Exposure to FAA Technical Standard Orders (TSOs) or EASA certification processes.

• Private Pilot License (PPL) or a demonstrated personal passion for aviation.
