Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The intern will design and build functional prototypes for UAS subsystems while iterating based on flight test feedback. They will also perform FEA studies and prepare technical documentation for manufacturing and assembly.
Candidates must have experience with Solidworks and FEA, including linear and nonlinear dynamics. Proficiency in basic manufacturing techniques like 3D printing is required, with sheet metal design experience preferred.
Rainmaker is pioneering a modern cloud seeding system to solve water scarcity and inclement weather problems. We develop and incorporate radar validation, weather-resistant UAS, numerical weather modeling, and sustainable cloud seeds into an effective precipitation enhancement solution.
The Engineering team at Rainmaker works on our UAS, dispersion payload, and in-situ/remote sensing systems. If you are interested in working in an extremely innovative and fast paced environment, where your work directly makes an impact and difference in our operational system, this is a fantastic opportunity.
In this role you will be reporting directly to the Lead Mechanical Engineer and will be working on mission critical subsystems for our UAS platform.
\nWhat You'll DoRapid Hardware Prototyping: Design and build functional prototypes for UAS subsystems, iterating quickly based on flight test feedback and mission requirements.
Test fixture design: Help conceptualize, design, build, and run test fixtures for prototype components.
FEA: Work with mechanical engineers to define loading and boundary conditions, set up FEA studies, run and validate results.
Documentation: Write technical documentation, prepare fabrication and assembly data for manufacturers.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Electrical engineers, software engineers, and manufacturing
Experience with CAD (Solidworks required)
Solidworks FEA experience, Linear Static, Linear Dynamic, Nonlinear Dynamic, Thermal.
Experience with basic manufacturing/prototyping using 3D printers
Sheet metal design and manufacturing experience (preferred)
Past record of having taken a product from the conceptual to production stage (Preferred)
Cross functional ability to work with multiple teams (Electrical and Software)
