Flytrex is revolutionizing on-demand delivery in the US suburbs, using drones to deliver food and retail directly to customers’ backyards. Together with partners such as Doordash & Jersey Mike’s, we’re turning science fiction into reality.

We are looking for a seasoned and hands-on NPI (New Product Introduction) Engineer to join our multidisciplinary team in central Tel Aviv. In this critical role, you will be the bridge between our innovative R&D team and our manufacturing partners, ensuring our cutting-edge drone systems can be produced reliably, efficiently, and at scale.

What You'll Do

As our NPI Engineer, you will own the process of transitioning complex electro-mechanical products from the prototype stage to volume production. You will work closely with our R&D team and contract manufacturers to ensure our designs are optimized for manufacturability and our production lines are robust and scalable.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the transition of electronics and mechanics projects from prototype phases to successful volume production.
• Collaborate with R&D on accepting, managing and versioning design & manufacturing documentation and materials (BOMs, drawings, schematics, assembly manuals, production testing protocols, testing jigs and software), ensuring consistency, completeness, applicability and qualification for production.
• Oversee pilot runs and production ramp-up, proactively identifying and resolving any manufacturing or quality issues.
• Design and qualify production jigs, fixtures, and other tools required for assembly and testing.
• Collaborate with R&D to implement Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles from the early stages of development.
• Serve as the primary technical liaison with contract manufacturers (CMs) and key component suppliers.

• A BSc in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or convince us that you don’t need it).
• Practical experience with small and large-batch production of PCBA and electronic modules.
• Practical familiarity with electronic components, their parameters, packages, methods of assembly and appropriateness of part replacements.
• Strong familiarity with modern engineering drawing, GD&T, and documentation practice, manufacturing processes, and CAD data formats.
• Working knowledge of SolidWorks and Altium Designer – an advantage.
• Practical experience of at least 5 years in an NPI or Manufacturing Engineering role.
• Proven, hands-on experience taking complex electro-mechanical products from design to mass production.
• Deep familiarity with BOM structuring, DFM/DFA principles, and creating manufacturing documentation.
• Strong experience working with and managing contract manufacturers and external suppliers.
• Excellent teamwork/interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate effectively.
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively within and outside one's own work group.
• Experience with ERP/PLM systems – an advantage.
• Familiarity with robotics systems– an advantage.
