Mechanical Design Engineer

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 ResponsibilitiesDesign 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.

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).
