Drone Design Engineer / UAV Design Engineer
Job Type
Full-Time
Role Overview
We are looking for a Drone Design Engineer to join our UAV R&D; team and contribute to the design, development, prototyping, testing, and optimization of multirotor and fixed-wing drone systems.
The candidate will be responsible for designing and developing mechanical as well as structural components, preparing manufacturing-ready designs, and supporting prototype testing and product development.
Key Responsibilities
• Design and develop UAV/drone airframes, frames, arms, landing gear, payload mounts, canopies, and mechanical components.
• Create detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, and 2D manufacturing drawings.
• Perform design iterations based on prototype testing and flight-test feedback.
• Design components considering weight, strength, manufacturability, vibration, and aerodynamic requirements.
• Support structural analysis and FEA where required.
Required Technical Skills
• Strong understanding of UAV/drone mechanical design.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, or similar CAD software.
• Knowledge of GD&T;, engineering drawings, tolerances, and DFM/DFA.
• Understanding of materials such as:
o Aluminium alloys
o Carbon-fiber composites
o Engineering plastics
o Nylon/PA12




o ABS/PETG and other 3D-printing materials
• Basic understanding of aerodynamics and aircraft structures.
• Knowledge of FEA/structural analysis is preferred.
Additional Skills – Preferred
• Experience with multirotor, fixed-wing, VTOL, or hybrid UAVs.
• Experience with carbon-fibre/composite fabrication.
• Experience with CNC machining, injection moulding, or sheet-metal fabrication.
Educational Qualification
Required:
• B.Tech/B.E. in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
Preferred:
• Relevant project, internship, or professional experience in UAV/drone design and development.
Experience
0–3 years of experience in UAV design, aerospace, mechanical design, robotics, or product development.
Freshers with strong UAV projects, CAD skills, and hands-on prototyping experience may also be considered.
The ideal candidate should have a hands-on approach to engineering, robust CAD and mechanical-design fundamentals, and an interest in developing real-world UAV systems from concept through prototype and flight testing.
