ABOUT

Agnikul Cosmos is a company incubated at IIT Madras and we build rockets that can take satellites up to 500 kg to Lower Earth Orbit (LEO). In May 2024, we successfully completed our maiden launch from our own launchpad (India's first private launchpad). The launch has proven all the new technologies developed by Agnikul and also earned recognition from Honourable Prime Minister of India.

We are looking for an Assembly & Integration Engineer to own the build definition of our launch vehicle — turning engineering designs into clear, repeatable, and secure assembly procedures that technicians execute on the production floor. This is a hands-on, floor-facing engineering role at the intersection of design, manufacturing, and quality. You will spend significant time on the shop floor with technicians, watching builds happen, and translating that first-hand knowledge into documentation that is precise enough to build flight hardware right the first time, every time.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Assembly Procedure Development (Primary Focus)
- Author detailed,



step-by-step assembly procedures for launch vehicle structures, propulsion systems, avionics, and subsystem integration — including torque values, fastener callouts, sequencing, tooling requirements, inspection/verification points, and acceptance criteria.
- Translate engineering drawings, CAD models, GD&T;, and design intent into technician-executable work instructions with clear illustrations, photos, or callouts.
- Define build sequence and integration flow across major assemblies (e.g., stage structures, tanks, engines, avionics bays, harnessing, fluid/pneumatic systems).
- Build in mandatory inspection, hold, and verification points (in-process QA, torque checks, leak checks, continuity checks, fit checks) at the correct step in the sequence.
- Specify required tooling, jigs, fixtures, GSE, and PPE for each step; flag any special handling (ESD, cleanroom, hazardous fluids/gases, high-pressure systems).
- Own document
