Our systems are deployed on real platforms, tested in the field, and delivered to customers operating in complex, uncertain, and safety-critical conditions.\\r\\n\\r\\nWe do not build research prototypes or slideware. Our software is integrated into real vehicles, tested in the field, and delivered to customers who depend on operational reliability, speed of execution, and mission relevance. We prioritize performance over hype.\\r\\n\\r\\nASR systems represent the next phase in autonomy: collaborative swarming. These are not like pre-programmed drones for light shows. We are creating real-time cooperative management that lets one operator control dozens to hundreds of vehicles in real-time with the ease of controlling a single vehicle. As such, this role requires comfort with responsibility, ambiguity, and operational accountability.\\r\\n\\r\\nASR seeks a mechanical engineer to join our hardware development team. This role targets a designer and builder capable of owning the full lifecycle of physical hardware &mdash; from concept through manufacture &mdash; across a range of enclosure, packaging, and drone integration products. Primary responsibilities include the design and manufacture of Dongle Cases and Bridge Boxes, the ruggedized electronic enclosures central to ASR&rsquo;s ground station and communications infrastructure.\\r\\n\\r\\nUnlike many hardware roles, ASR&rsquo;s compact swarm platform allows mechanical work to be prototyped and iterated quickly, with in-house 3D printing and a bias toward rapid, field-testable designs. Travel may be required for field testing and demonstrations which will allow you to witness firsthand how your hardware performs as dozens of drones take flight.\\r\\n\\r\\nPosition will also encompass the design, testing, and manufacture of drone attachments and physical modifications &mdash; ranging from simple mounting brackets to complex multi-axis actuators &mdash; as well as the development of mechanisms supporting ASR&rsquo;s &ldquo;swarm in a box&rdquo; concept: self-contained, rapidly deployable swarm systems with integrated logistics, charging, and launch capability.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe role includes responsibility for ASR&rsquo;s swarm packaging program: specifying, sourcing, and customizing Pelican case configurations and precision-cut foam inserts to ensure vehicles and ground equipment survive transport and deployment in demanding field environments.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nEssential Duties and Responsibilities\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\tDesign and oversee manufacture of Dongle Cases, Bridge Boxes, and other ruggedized electronic enclosures\\r\\n\\tSpecify, source, and customize swarm packaging solutions including Pelican cases and precision foam inserts\\r\\n\\tDesign, test, and manufacture drone attachments and physical modifications, from simple brackets to actuated mechanisms\\r\\n\\tCollaborate with the engineering team on &ldquo;swarm in a box&rdquo;

Our systems are deployed on real platforms, tested in the field, and delivered to customers operating in complex, uncertain, and safety-critical conditions.\\r\\n\\r\\nWe do not build research prototypes or slideware. Our software is integrated into real vehicles, tested in the field, and delivered to customers who depend on operational reliability, speed of execution, and mission relevance. We prioritize performance over hype.\\r\\n\\r\\nASR systems represent the next phase in autonomy: collaborative swarming. These are not like pre-programmed drones for light shows. We are creating real-time cooperative management that lets one operator control dozens to hundreds of vehicles in real-time with the ease of controlling a single vehicle. As such, this role requires comfort with responsibility, ambiguity, and operational accountability.\\r\\n\\r\\nASR seeks a mechanical engineer to join our hardware development team. This role targets a designer and builder capable of owning the full lifecycle of physical hardware &mdash; from concept through manufacture &mdash; across a range of enclosure, packaging, and drone integration products. Primary responsibilities include the design and manufacture of Dongle Cases and Bridge Boxes, the ruggedized electronic enclosures central to ASR&rsquo;s ground station and communications infrastructure.\\r\\n\\r\\nUnlike many hardware roles, ASR&rsquo;s compact swarm platform allows mechanical work to be prototyped and iterated quickly, with in-house 3D printing and a bias toward rapid, field-testable designs. Travel may be required for field testing and demonstrations which will allow you to witness firsthand how your hardware performs as dozens of drones take flight.\\r\\n\\r\\nPosition will also encompass the design, testing, and manufacture of drone attachments and physical modifications &mdash;
