Beskrivning
Build the hardware, own the platform
At Frost Unmanned, you will be the engineer who turns our fixed-wing UAV from a design into a rugged, field-ready product. You will own the mechanical side of the platform: the structure, the component layout, the integration, and how it performs and holds up in real operations. You will have real influence over design decisions from day one.
Frost Unmanned develops sovereign unmanned systems for defense and government customers: high-speed fixed-wing strike UAVs and unmanned surface vessels for maritime and coastal operations. We are a small team in Stora Höga, Stenungsund, moving from development into serial delivery.
What you will do
Lead CAD design of airframe structures, mechanical assemblies, and component layouts
Set the aerodynamic and structural requirements for the platform, and work with our external simulation partners to verify their results
Turn simulation data into design decisions on strength, weight, performance, and manufacturability
Select, source, and integrate components and subsystems such as propulsion, fuel systems, and payloads.
Design for the end user: how the system is unpacked, assembled, and made ready in the field
Own the mechanical interface between the UAV and our pneumatic launcher
Support mechanical work on our USV platform
Take designs through prototyping, testing, and production, with drawings and documentation for our subcontractors
What we are looking for
Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent experience
Several years of hands-on mechanical engineering, ideally with UAVs, aircraft, or other high-performance systems
Strong CAD skills for lightweight structures and complex assemblies. This is the most important skill for the role
Enough understanding of aerodynamics and structural loads to set requirements and challenge simulation results
Experience taking designs from prototype to production
Eligible to pass Swedish security vetting
It is a plus if you have
Experience from defense or aerospace
Worked with fuel systems, propulsion, or air intakes
Composite materials and lightweight manufacturing
Built and flown your own RC planes, UAVs, or drones
Worked with launch systems, boats, or similar integration tasks
Why join us
Real ownership of a flying platform, not a small part of a large program
Short decision paths and direct access to company leadership
Work that goes from your CAD model to the field, fast
A small team where everyone works on site, together, every day
Competitive conditions and room to grow as the company scales
How to apply
Send your CV and a few lines about what you have built. Examples of CAD work or your own RC or UAV projects are welcome. No formal cover letter needed. We review applications on an ongoing basis.
Location: Stora Höga, Stenungsund Employment type: Full-time, on-site
Frost Unmanned is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, or background.
