Lead drone technology strategy, hardware development and production scale-up, coordinating global partners and building Terra Drone’s engineering organisation.
About this role
Terra Drone is recruiting design engineers to improve existing drones and contribute to next-generation products for its defence business. Assignments are matched to each person’s experience and skills, with an opportunity to follow development across the product lifecycle.
The work includes planning and requirements, concept and detailed design, simulation, prototyping, debugging, evaluation and production introduction with manufacturing partners. The company describes a Tokyo-based development role with outsourced production.
Applicants need experience taking responsibility for hardware development in mechanical, electrical or embedded-control work; student projects qualify. The posting emphasises independent learning and responding quickly to changing development tasks. Mechanical guidance calls for 3D CAD and analysis in at least one of strength, vibration, thermal or fluid behaviour. Circuit design, board layout and EMC experience are desirable rather than compulsory for all applicants. New-product leadership and combined hardware/software work are preferred.
