Job Description

We are seeking a

Mechanical Design Engineer

with strong hands-on CAD experience and a passion for UAV development. The ideal candidate will have a background in

aerospace mechanical design

, with direct experience designing

fixed-wing aircraft, multirotors, and mechanical sub-systems

. You will work closely with cross-functional teams in

composites, manufacturing, avionics, and systems integration

to translate aerodynamic and structural requirements into manufacturable designs.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop UAV structures, mechanisms, and components for

    fixed-wing and multirotor platforms

    .
  • Create detailed

    3D CAD models and 2D manufacturing drawings

    using

    SolidWorks

    .
  • Collaborate with

    aerodynamics and composites teams

    to optimize designs for weight, manufacturability, and structural integrity.
  • Support

    mould and tool design

    for composite fabrication and part manufacturing.
  • Perform tolerance analysis, design validation, and integration of mechanical subsystems (actuators, payload mounts, landing gear, etc.).
  • Work with

    CAM

    and manufacturing engineers to ensure seamless transition from design to production.
  • Participate in design reviews, prototype testing, and continuous improvement of airframe configurations.
  • Maintain documentation, BOMs, and revision control in alignment with company configuration management standards.

Required Qualifications

  • B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical / Aerospace Engineering

    or related field.
  • 5+ years

    of mechanical design experience, preferably in

    UAV, aerospace, or automotive

    sectors.
  • Strong proficiency in

    SolidWorks

    (3D modeling, assemblies, drawings, configurations).
  • Proven experience in

    fixed-wing and multirotor UAV design

    including airframe, fuselage, and component design.
  • Experience with

    mould and tool design

    for composites manufacturing.
  • Good understanding of

    composite materials, lay-up methods, and structural behavior

    .
  • Familiarity with

    manufacturing processes (CNC, 3D printing, vacuum forming, RTM, etc.)

    .
  • Basic knowledge of

    CAM

    or manufacturing simulation workflows (plus).

Preferred Attributes

  • Prior exposure to

    high-performance UAV development environments

    .
  • Experience working closely with

    composite manufacturing teams

    .
  • Understanding of

    aerodynamic and structural trade-offs

    in UAV design.
  • Strong sense of ownership, precision, and iterative problem-solving.
  • Ability to thrive in a

    fast-paced, hands-on R&D environment
