Project Title: Development and Testing of a Bioinspired Flapping Wing Model with Morphing Capability for Aerial and Aquatic Locomotion

Project Details: We are building a morphing-based flapping-wing vehicle that can fly in air and swim underwater. The project involves designing the airframe and morphing mechanism, understanding its flight dynamics, trim, stability, and control, and conducting wind/water tunnel testing to determine and improve control authority in roll, pitch, and yaw.

POSITION: Senior Project Engineer / Scientist

SALARY: ₹68,000/month + 18% HRA

EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

- B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline, with a minimum of 55% marks, and 3 years of relevant experience; OR
- M.Tech. in Dynamics & Control or a related discipline, with a minimum of 55% marks; OR
- Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Design, Robotics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.

DURATION: Initial appointment of 3 months, extendable up to 1 year or until completion of the project, subject to satisfactory performance. :



The candidate should have a solid background in flight mechanics and control, along with genuine hands-on experience in the following areas:

- Fixed-wing, rotary-wing, or unconventional flight locomotion systems
- Static trim and stability, including CG, neutral point, static margin, and stability derivatives
- Tail design and control surfaces for roll, pitch, and yaw authority
- Flight controllers such as Pixhawk/PX4/ArduPilot, including integrated IMU, barometer, GPS, etc.
- ESCs, motors, servos, RC transmitters, telemetry, and power systems
- Design and end-to-end development of fixed-wing drones
- Wind/water tunnel testing, force/torque measurement, and data acquisition

HOW TO APPLY: Interested candidates may send their CV, along with a short note describing their hands-on drone/flight-hardware experience to [email protected] with the subject line Application – Senior Project Engineer – Flapping Wing Project LAST DATE TO APPLY: 08 September 2026
