HyLight is aiming for a diverse and included team, if your profile doesn't fit all the description but you can bring a diverse point of view, push it forward, it will be highly appreciated.
We’re well-funded and backed by top investors, providing the resources you wish you had when building your own business. We don’t care about traditional roles or titles—just that you’re smart, proactive, and bring the same founder-level ownership and drive to help us build something massive.
At HyLight, our mechanical philosophy is simple yet demanding: Building the Future, Securing the Present.
Personal Note from Louis (Airship Engineering Design Team Lead)
“We are tackling a massive challenge: making innovative airships fly while guaranteeing flawless operational availability. To achieve this, we refuse to work in silos. We are one polyvalent force driven by a mindset.
This role requires a rare balance. You won't just be a designer behind a screen; you will be an owner.
I am looking for someone who thrives in this duality. Someone who treats the shop floor with as much respect as the design studio, and who understands that a design isn't finished until it works in the field. If you are ready to take full ownership of the mechanical lifecycle and build something that truly matters, welcome to the team.”
Job Summary:
As a Mechanical Integration and Test Engineer, you will be the technical owner of the drone’s mechanical lifecycle. You will bridge the gap between "engineering perfection" and operational reality, ensuring our drones are robust, easy to assemble, and available for mission-critical inspections.
The Mission:
In collaboration with the Mech Team, your responsibilities will focus on Reliability, Industrialization, and Continuous Improvement:
