Mission first

If your skills, experience, and qualifications match those in this job overview, do not delay your application. Hospitals lose transplant organs because traditional logistics can’t keep up. Haast builds full-stack, autonomous aircraft to change that. We’re looking for an engineer who can turn rough sketches into flight-proven hardware - fast. Your impact Own airframe optimization: lift-to-drag, structural weight, and manufacturability. Drive CAD (Fusion 360 / NX / SolidWorks) from concept to tooling release; keep files clean for the next sprint. Run FEA & CFD to validate designs, then prove them in the shop with 3-D prints, composite manufacturing, and quick fixes that fly the same week. Pair with autonomy & avionics teams to integrate batteries, sensors, and payload bays that keep organs at 4 °C in turbulence. We’ll vibe if you… Have holistic understanding of airframe design process and have an open, innovative mindset. Have hands-on scars from milling, composites, or field repairs at 2 a.m. Can explain a Von Mises plot and a P-T stability requirement to non-engineers in the same meeting. Believe “done > perfect” but know when safety margins are non-negotiable. Nice-to-haves Experience at Zipline, Archer, Pyka, Joby, Boom Supersonic, or similar. Familiarity with RTCA DO-160, FAA Part 135, or ISO 14971 risk management. Git-style CAD workflows or simulation automation in Python. Why you’ll stay You’ll prototype today and watch it fly next week—no corporate drag. Mentorship + autonomy: we coach hard, then hand you the keys. Equity upside tied to lives saved, not vanity metrics. How to apply DM our COO Jason Chen or email jason @haastautonomous.com with: Two lines on why this mission hits home for you.
