Job Overview

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer – UAV Systems to design and develop mechanical components, structures, and assemblies for drone platforms. The role requires expertise in CAD design, material selection, simulation, and manufacturable product development, with a solid focus on lightweight, reliable, and high-performance FPV and UAV systems.

Key Responsibilities
Design, model, and draft 3D components and assemblies for FPV structures, varied payload mounts, and mechanical systems that a user needs.
Develop lightweight and manufacturable drone components using advanced materials such as carbon fiber and composite plastics.
Create detailed 2D drawings, GD&T; annotations, and assembly documentation for production.
Collaborate with electronics, propulsion, and aerodynamics teams to ensure seamless system integration.
Optimize designs for performance, weight reduction, manufacturability, and ease of maintenance.
Conduct structural, thermal, and vibration simulations to validate design reliability according to DGCA Type Certification terms under different clauses of structures, materials and construction.
Coordinate with vendors for fabrication, prototyping, and component sourcing.




Maintain CAD revisions and support R&D; and production teams with design updates and prototype iterations.
Participate in field testing and implement mechanical improvements based on test feedback.

Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline.
Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience in CAD design for UAVs, robotics, or precision mechanical systems.
Proficiency in SolidWorks, CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, Fusion 360, or similar CAD software.
Robust understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and tolerancing principles.
Experience with FEA simulations (Structural, Modal, Thermal) is preferred.
Knowledge of aerostructure design, propulsion integration, and payload balancing is an added advantage.

Additional Requirements
Robust analytical, problem-solving, and visualization skills.
Ability to manage multiple design projects under tight timelines with high attention to detail.
Excellent teamwork and cross-functional collaboration capabilities.
Passion for innovation and continuous improvement in UAV mechanical systems.

Pay: ₹25,000.00 - ₹45,000.00 per month
