About Our Transition to Ondas Sentinel DZYNE Technologies was recently acquired by Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) and, together with World View, has joined forces to create Ondas Sentinel. Ondas Sentinel is a next‑generation U.S. defense platform integrating long‑endurance ISR, autonomous systems, counter‑UAS technologies, and mission intelligence. While DZYNE is now part of Ondas Sentinel, we are still legally operating as DZYNE as we complete the formal integration of our systems and processes. As a result, you may see roles cross‑posted across DZYNE and World View, during this transition. All positions represent opportunities within the same combined organization. What does this mean for candidates?
- You’re joining a team that is accelerating the future of autonomous defense.
- You’ll be part of a company backed by significant investment, strong growth, and mission‑proven technology.
- You’ll work alongside world‑class engineers and innovators who have already delivered thousands of operational flight hours, high‑impact ISR capabilities, leading counter‑UAS systems, and breakthrough autonomous effects.
- You’ll help shape a unified platform that enables operators to see more, decide faster, and act with confidence across the modern battlespace.
- Develop mechanical components, assemblies, and enclosures for ruggedized autonomous and defense‑focused systems
- Create CAD models and detailed drawings (SolidWorks preferred)
- Support mechanical design for machining, molding, sheet metal, and printing
- Perform tolerance analysis and basic structural/thermal considerations
- Collaborate across electrical, RF, and systems engineering teams
- Participate in prototype builds, testing events, and iterative design reviews
- Support supplier interactions, material selection, and DFM efforts
- Maintain engineering documentation and configuration control
- 4+ years of mechanical design experience (aerospace, defense, robotics, or related industries preferred)
- Proficiency in CAD modeling and mechanical drafting
- Experience designing for machining, molding, sheet metal, and rapid prototyping
- Understanding of ruggedized electronics packaging and environmental design constraints
- Ability to work in small engineering teams with rapid iteration cycles
- Experience with DoD programs or military-relevant hardware
- Background in autonomous systems, UAVs, RF-enabled hardware, or counter‑UAS systems
- Familiarity with qualification testing or environmental compliance
- Experience in rapid‑prototyping engineering environments
- Interest in growing toward increased design ownership and leadership
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- Must have the ability to stoop, stand, climb, occasionally lift a minimum of 25 lbs.
- Involves movement between departments, floors, and worksites to facilitate work.
