About Zerowings Aerospace

Zerowings Aerospace was founded on a simple belief: India should not depend on anyone else for the autonomous UAVs that guard its coastline and borders. Our team brings experience from AWS, P&G;, Boeing, and Caterpillar, and we build unmanned aircraft from first principles. Our platforms include maritime VTOL systems, Drone-in-a-Box autonomous systems, and industrial drones for solar farms, wind turbines, and building facades.

About the Role

You will be our founding mechanical engineer. The airframes you design will fly over the Indian coastline within months of your joining, not years. You will own every step, from concept and structural analysis through fabrication, flight test, and production. The pace is fast, and your decisions will become the DNA of every aircraft we build.





What Makes This a Founding Role
- First engineering hire for the mechanical function. The airframe discipline is built around you, not handed to you.
- Direct design authority over materials, structures, and manufacturing decisions, which are yours to make and defend in flight test.
- Ownership from day one, with equity in year one and further grants as you and the company grow.
- A defined path to lead the mechanical engineering team as we scale.

Key Responsibilities
- Take UAV airframes, mechanical subsystems, and payload structures from whiteboard to flight line for VTOL and multirotor platforms.
- Run structural, modal, and basic CFD analyses, and prove your design on paper before it proves itself in the air.
- Own CAD, detailed part design, assembly layouts, and production-ready drawings. If it cannot be manufactured, it does not ship.
- Build your own prototypes using carbon fiber lay
