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.
JOB DESCRIPTION:



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
