This engineering role at Icarus focuses on designing and building solar-powered aircraft for the stratosphere, specifically targeting candidates with Formula SAE experience. The position involves owning mechanical subsystems from concept to flight, performing first-principles sizing, and conducting hands-on testing and iteration in diverse environments like deserts and factories. Key responsibilities include collaborating with avionics and software teams to integrate flight hardware and troubleshooting real-world failures. The opportunity appeals to builders seeking extreme ownership and a high-trust culture with minimal management overhead. Candidates will work alongside the CEO and a small team of world-class engineers, enjoying meaningful equity, daily meals, and the chance to see their designs fly. The role is based at the El Segundo factory with frequent travel to field operations.
