Generate Bills of Materials (BOMs), assembly drawings, and detailed fabrication/assembly documentation.
Design the electrical/control architecture, including PLC hardware selection, I/O lists, wiring diagrams, and control panel layouts.
Program and commission PLC logic to control tape/package feeding, package indexing/positioning, cutting, sensing, safety interlocks, and integration with drone platform operations.
Collaborate remotely with the AirTape team through video calls and shared design files to iterate on designs and ensure alignment with system requirements and existing patent concepts.
Optimize designs for manufacturability, reliability, cost, and ease of assembly.
Execute all required IP assignment and confidentiality agreements transferring full ownership of the work product to AirTape LLC.

Ability to work independently as a remote contractor and deliver high-quality, production-ready designs.
Willingness to sign a contractor services agreement that includes full IP assignment of all designs and code to AirTape LLC.
Portfolio of relevant CAD models/drawings and/or PLC projects is preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with packaging machinery, tape handling equipment, or automated feeding systems.
Familiarity with drone payload handling or last-mile delivery automation.
Knowledge of industrial safety standards (ISO 13849, NFPA 79, etc.).
