Key Responsibilities :

- Lead the conceptual and detailed design of aerospace/defense composite and hybrid structures such as radomes, fighter aircraft pods, missile launch canisters, UAV fuselage/wing structures, and pylons.

- Develop 3D CAD models, complex assemblies, and fully dimensioned 2D drawings in compliance with ASME Y14.5 (GD&T;) and aerospace standards.

- Perform structural, thermal, RF-transparent design integration, vibration, and fatigue analysis using tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, HyperWorks).

- Ensure aerodynamic shape optimization in collaboration with aerodynamicists for radomes, pods, and UAV structures.

- Design and validate tooling, molds, jigs, and fixtures for composite layup, autoclave curing, and precision assembly.

- Integrate stealth, radar cross-section (RCS) reduction, and lightweighting requirements in product design.

- Collaborate with materials and manufacturing teams to optimize designs for prepreg layup, vacuum bagging, autoclave processing, RTM, filament winding, and additive manufacturing.

- Prepare and manage engineering documentation, BOMs, qualification test reports, and certification dossiers as per MIL-STD, AS9100, and CEMILAC/DRDO requirements.

- Conduct design reviews (PDR,



CDR) with internal stakeholders, customers, and defense agencies.

- Provide mentorship to junior engineers and foster innovation in lightweight aerospace composite designs.

Qualifications & Experience

- Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Mechanical / Aerospace Engineering or equivalent.

- 2–5 years of experience in mechanical design & development within aerospace/defense or advanced composites sector.

- Strong proficiency in CAD platforms (CATIA V5/V6/ 3D Experience).

- Hands-on experience with FEA tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, HyperWorks).

- Proven expertise in composite design and analysis (ply drop-offs, stacking sequence optimization, delamination prevention).

- Exposure to fighter aircraft systems, radome transparency design, missile canisters, UAV structures, and defense qualification processes
