Job Summary :

The Head of eVTOL Prototyping, Manufacturing Process & Assembly Integration will lead the end-to-end journey of transforming aircraft design into flight-ready prototypes and scalable production. This role owns prototype build strategy, manufacturing process development, tooling/fixture design, and full-aircraft assembly integration (structures, propulsion, avionics, electrical, and systems), ensuring the eVTOL platform moves efficiently from concept to certified, production-ready aircraft.

Key Responsibilities
Prototyping Leadership
Own the strategy, planning, and execution of full-scale and sub-scale eVTOL prototype builds
Translate design engineering outputs (CAD/PLM) into manufacturable prototype build packages
Drive rapid iteration cycles between design, test, and manufacturing teams
Manufacturing Process Development
Design and industrialize manufacturing processes for airframe structures and related subsystems
Develop process plans, work instructions, routings, and standard operating procedures (SOPs)




Lead Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA) reviews with design engineering
Build the roadmap from low-rate initial production (LRIP) to full-rate production (FRP)
Select and qualify manufacturing processes specifically composite layup/curing
Assembly Integration
Own final assembly line (FAL) design, sequencing, and station-by-station build strategy
Lead systems integration into the airframe.
Define and implement jigs, fixtures, tooling, and assembly automation
Ensure fit, form, and function compliance during integration; resolve build non-conformances
Quality, Safety & Compliance
Ensure manufacturing and assembly processes comply with aerospace quality standards & DGCA regulations
Implement inspection plans, first article inspection (FAI), and non-conformance/CAPA processes
Team & Cross-Functional Leadership
Mentor and lead a multi-disciplinary team: manufacturing engineers, prototype technicia
