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.
