Mechanical Engineer — Munition System

Velia multiservices | San Francisco, United States | Posted July 04, 2026

Position Overview

About the project

We're building a small, safety-critical kinetic munition delivered by an FPV-class airframe. The system carries an electro mechanical safe and arm device (EMSAD) governed by a seven-state safety-arm-fire state machine, electromechanical safing features, and sensor suite. Everything has to survive flight loads, drops, vibration, and field handling — and fail safe at every step.

You will own the mechanical side end-to-end: from concept and CAD through prototypes, testing, and the transfer to production.

What you'll do

Design the munition housing, internal structure, and arming mechanism (S&A train, transport pin, motor-driven elements) in CAD.

Define the mechanical safety architecture together with the HW and SW leads — interlocks, out-of-line geometry, transport-pin retention, drop/impact behavior.

Spec materials, finishes, tolerances, and fasteners for the operating enviro...
