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
