CAD-Based Mechanical Design & Ownership

- Lead the mechanical design of Hybrid UAV subsystems and payload interfaces using advanced parametric CAD tools (preferably PTC Creo).

- Develop and maintain complex CAD trees, system layouts, and 3D model integrity across revisions.

- Drive modular and scalable design practices are in line with product architecture.

1. Composite Material Engineering & Manufacturability

- Must be proficient in composite materials (Long Carbon/ Aramid/ Glass fiber), hand calculations & manufacturing processes.

- Develop the feasible design concept and help manufacturing team to achieve required performance during development stage

- Solid knowledge of materials (metals, polymers, composites) with a clear understanding of process-specific constraints.

- Evaluate designs for manufacturability, cost efficiency, and reliability using DFM, DFX, and material selection tools.

- Prior experience working with high-performance materials, injection molding, and machining processes is advantageous.

1. TAD (Tooling & Assembly Definition)

- Must be proficient in TAD principles with hands-on experience in tooling and assembly strategies.

- Prepare assembly BOMs, jigs and fixture interfaces, and support design-to-assembly planning.

- Contribute to design improvements based on ease of assembly, maintainability, and ergonomics.

1. PLM Integration





- Experienced in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems for version control, workflows, and digital thread management.

- Familiarity with Windchill PLM or equivalent for part structures, release cycles, and change management.

1. Structural Design & Collaboration

- Sound understanding of structural analysis fundamentals (loads, boundary conditions, safety factors, fastener design, etc.).

- Ability to interpret FEA results, collaborate with analysis teams, and optimize design based on structural feedback.

1. Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing

- Well-versed in 3D printing techniques (FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF, DMLS, etc.).

- Ability to select suitable printer types, grain structures, material properties, and post-processing requirements based on the use-case.

1. Cross-Functional Collaboration

- Work closely with systems engineering, integration, sourcing, testing, and manufacturing teams.

- Take ownership of the design deliverables, resolve cross-domain design issues, and ensure on-time maturity of the mechanical stack.

- Support V&V; (Validation & Verification) activities and ensure that mechanical designs are compliant with technical specs and regulatory needs.

1. Root Cause Analysis

- Should be capable to understand physical behavior, correlate with design definition and derive root causes in collaboration with CFT.
