Rajiv Gandhi Aviation (RGA) is looking for a
UAV Aero-Mechanical Design Engineer Intern
to join our engineering team working on the development of an advanced indigenous fixed-wing UAV platform.

This is not a conventional internship focused on minor modifications to an existing aircraft. You will contribute to the platform from the
conceptual aircraft design stage through simulation, detailed design, prototype development and testing
.

What you will work on
- Perform
conceptual aircraft sizing and configuration studies
, including wing geometry, performance estimation and aerodynamic trade-offs.
- Develop and refine the aircraft
3D Outer Mold Line (OML)
using SolidWorks, CATIA or equivalent CAD tools.
- Conduct aerodynamic analysis using
OpenVSP, XFLR5, AVL
or equivalent tools.
- Perform
CFD simulations
to evaluate lift, drag, aerodynamic efficiency, stability and flight-performance margins.
- Design structural elements including
spars, ribs, mounting structures and composite components
.
- Conduct
FEA and structural analysis
for aerodynamic, inertial and ground loads.




- Perform
weight, balance and Center of Gravity (CG)
analysis across different aircraft configurations.
- Participate in multidisciplinary trade studies involving
aerodynamics, structures, propulsion integration, packaging and manufacturability
.
- Support prototype manufacturing, assembly, ground testing and iterative aircraft development.
- Participate in engineering design reviews and clearly document calculations, simulations, assumptions and technical decisions.

What we are looking for
- Students or recent graduates in
Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering
or a closely related discipline.
- Robust fundamentals in
aerodynamics, aircraft performance, stability, structures and fixed-wing aircraft design
.
- Hands-on experience with
SolidWorks, CATIA
or equivalent CAD software.
- Experience with
OpenVSP, XFLR5, AVL
or similar aerodynamic analysis tools.
