About Orqa FPV

Founded in 2018 in Croatia, Orqa has grown from a hardware consulting firm into one of Europe’s leading drone technology companies. We design and manufacture advanced FPV and unmanned systems used by enterprise, industrial, and defense clients worldwide. With fully vertically integrated operations — covering design, electronics, optics, firmware, software, and in-house manufacturing — we maintain complete control over quality, performance, and supply chain reliability. This allows us to iterate quickly, optimize every part of the system, and deliver products that meet demanding real-world requirements. Today, Orqa products are used in more than 50 countries, with over 100,000 units delivered in 2024. Our mission is to build the enabling technologies for the future of Remote Reality and set new standards in the aerial robotics industry.

At Orqa, we’re building technology that allows humans and machines to see the world like never before. We bring together engineers, creators, and innovators who push the boundaries of what’s possible - from cutting-edge FPV systems to advanced Remote Reality solutions, and toward the next generation of robotics. And behind every great technology, there’s great organization.

As a Senior CAD Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between conceptual design and physical production by applying your deep knowledge of advanced materials, multi-axis CNC machining, and industrial 3D printing, mold design for injection molding, design for injection molding.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

  • Develop complex 3D solid and surface models, as well as precise 2D production drawings, using SolidWorks

  • Optimize designs for manufacturability (DFM), specifically tailoring parts for both subtractive processes (3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining) and additive manufacturing (industrial 3D printing)

  • Select and specify appropriate high-performance materials based on mechanical requirements, thermal resistance, and weight limits (e.g., high-strength aluminum and composites)

  • Perform tolerance stack-up analysis and apply advanced Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T - ASME Y14.5) to ensure accurate manufacturing

  • Manage complex assemblies and maintain strict version control using SolidWorks PDM

  • Collaborate closely with manufacturing engineers and machinists to troubleshoot production constraints and iterate on designs

WHAT WE EXPECT:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)

  • 5+ years of dedicated CAD engineering experience in a precision manufacturing environment

  • Expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks (CSWP or CSWE certification is a strong plus)

  • Deep, practical understanding of CNC machining limitations, 3D printing technologies, and material properties

  • BONUS: Previous experience in the aerospace industry or familiarity with aerospace quality standards (e.g., AS9100) is a major plus, but not required:

    focus on prototyping and precision
