Neural is hiring a Drone & Aeronautics Engineer to lead the design, prototyping, and testing of our modular aerial platforms. You will work across mechanical, electrical, and propulsion systems to build robust drone systems capable of supporting multi-mission payloads for defense, climate, disaster response, and logistics use cases.

This role requires expertise in aerostructures, CAD modeling, propulsion system integration, and mechanical-electrical design for flight. You’ll work with embedded and autonomy teams to ensure platform readiness from concept through field testing.

‍

• Design aerodynamic structures using CAD and simulation software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD Fusion, ANSYS, FreeCAD, etc).
• Integrate propulsion (electric, hybrid), power distribution, and control systems.
• Conduct bench testing, wind tunnel analysis, and flight validation.
• Support airframe prototyping with in-house and external fabrication resources.
• Collaborate with autonomy and payload teams to meet mission-specific specs.
• Document testing, performance, and design evolution.
