Gecko's complete and connected solutions combine wall-climbing robots, industry-leading sensors, and an AI-powered data platform to provide customers with a unique window into the current and future health of their physical assets. This enables real-time decision making to increase the efficiency and safety of operations, promote mission readiness, and protect the environment and civilization from the effects of infrastructure failure. ### Role At A Glance This role supports U.S. Navy manufacturing programs. Its essential functions require regular access to export-controlled technical data, U.S. Government information systems, and customer facilities subject to U.S.-person access requirements. To satisfy the U.S. Government contractual and customer-access requirements applicable to this role, the selected candidate must qualify as a “U.S. person," that is, a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, or other protected individual, including a refugee or asylee, as defined by 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3). This requirement applies only to roles with these access needs and is not a general condition of employment at Gecko Robotics or its affiliates. We're hiring a Product Strategist - Aeromechanical Engineering who combines hands-on aircraft engineering with customer-facing technical judgment. You'll work with customer engineers and Gecko's software and robotics teams to understand their engineering workflows, identify where our technology can help, and deliver practical solutions. You should be comfortable doing aerostructural engineering work yourself and representing Gecko as a peer to senior customer and stakeholder engineering leadership. Your initial focus will be our work supporting a major defense aircraft program of record through reverse engineering, structural design, GD&T automation, and related workflows. The planned initial mix is roughly two-thirds program execution and one-third broader aerospace product direction and go-to-market support. Expect roughly 20% travel to customer and program sites. For team members based in cities where Gecko maintains an office, regular in-office presence is expected as part of our in-person operating culture. ### What You Will Do Engineering execution Provide hands-on aircraft engineering support: support creation and review of CAD models, interpret drawings and scan data, and assess geometry, tolerances, materials, and design intent. Translate customer requirements, technical standards, and work instructions into clear engineering and software requirements, with outputs suited to the customer's design-review, analysis, and data-management processes. Own assigned technical work packages, including scope, schedule, risk, and quality. Coordinate with software and delivery leads, and pair with forward-deployed engineers to develop and validate useful tools and workflows. Methods development & qualification Develop and qualify novel analytical methodologies, design tools, and engineering toolchains, establishing their technical basis, validation approach, assumptions, and limits of applicability. Build and defend the case for using these methods and tools with internal and external stakeholders, including chief engineering, quality, and airworthiness. Lead the technical reviews and develop the supporting evidence needed to gain acceptance for their intended use. Customer engagement & technical leadership Lead technical discussions with customer engineering and sustainment teams, engineering managers, primes, and program offices. Clarify needs and tradeoffs, resolve technical questions, and build confidence in Gecko's work. Use customer feedback and delivery experience to shape product priorities and a technically credible path to follow-on work or renewal. Product & GTM support Support broader aerospace product and go-to-market efforts through technical discovery, early concepts, demonstrations, and proposals that connect customer needs to feasible solutions. --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
