About Us
Pluto Mobility is building India's first purpose-built electric vehicle for multi-category last-mile delivery, enabling delivery partners to work seamlessly across food delivery, quick commerce, e-commerce and hyperlocal logistics. We are rethinking how last-mile delivery vehicles are designed, engineered and manufactured, with a focus on improving vehicle productivity, reliability and operating economics. The Prospect We are looking for a Senior Structural Engineer to own the structural architecture and development of our electric vehicle platform. You will be responsible for the complete lifecycle of structural assemblies, including the frame, swingarm, subframes and mountings
- from concept development and engineering calculations to CAD, prototyping, validation and production release. This is a hands-on engineering role requiring strong fundamentals, practical manufacturing knowledge and the ability to translate engineering decisions into production-ready hardware.

What You'll Do
• End-to-end structural ownership: Lead concepts, engineering calculations, CAD, drawings, prototype development, validation and production release.
• Structural engineering: Own load paths, material selection, joints, mounting interfaces, tolerance stacks and structural integrity. Work with CAE teams on load cases, FEA and design improvements.
• Vehicle integration: Integrate battery, powertrain, electronics and body assemblies while ensuring clearances, cooling, assembly access and serviceability.
• Design optimisation: Evaluate standard, adapted and custom components, balancing performance, safety, cost, tooling and manufacturability.
• Weight optimisation: Drive structural weight reduction through material selection, load-path improvements,



section and wall-thickness optimisation, part consolidation and topology optimisation. Validate improvements against strength, stiffness, durability, cost and manufacturability.
• Supplier development: Lead supplier feasibility reviews, DFM discussions, tooling reviews, cost optimisation and quality resolution. Conduct supplier visits and review physical samples.
• Prototype and vehicle builds: Provide hands-on engineering support during prototype, pilot and validation builds. Resolve fitment, interface and quality issues across the vehicle.
• Manufacturing readiness: Work with manufacturing teams on jigs, fixtures, welding sequences, assembly processes and critical-to-quality dimensions.
• Engineering documentation: Maintain CAD models, production drawings, EBOMs and revision records. Manage engineering changes through ECR/ECN processes.
• Validation and compliance: Contribute to DFMEA and DVP planning, support applicable AIS/CMVR requirements and lead root-cause analysis of build and field failures.
• Technical leadership: Mentor junior engineers, conduct design reviews and strengthen engineering standards. What We're Looking For
• 4-6+ years of relevant experience in chassis and structural development, preferably in 2W/3W or EV platforms.
• Demonstrated experience taking a chassis or major structural assembly from concept through supplier development, physical builds, testing and production release.
• Strong understanding of structural calculations, material selection, strength, stiffness, fatigue,



welded and bolted joints, GD&T; and tolerance stacks.
• Ability to perform basic structural FEA and critically interpret CAE outputs and physical test results.
• Understanding of vehicle dynamics, including mass distribution, structural stiffness, suspension and steering geometry, braking loads and lean/tilt behaviour.
• Hands-on experience with fabrication, welding, machining, sheet metal, supplier development and manufacturing quality.
• Demonstrated ability to deliver measurable structural weight and cost reductions validated through calculations, CAE and physical testing.
• Familiarity with PLM/PDM, EBOM management, ECR/ECN, DFMEA, DVP planning and supplier quality processes, including PPAP.
• Ability to independently evaluate engineering trade-offs and work across design, manufacturing, testing and procurement teams.
• Hands-on proficiency in SolidWorks, Siemens NX and CATIA, including parametric modelling, assemblies and production drawings.
• Working knowledge of structural FEA tools.
• Exposure to topology optimisation.
• Ability to work across CAD platforms as engineering requirements and toolchains evolve. Pluto currently uses SolidWorks. Why Join Pluto Mobility
• End-to-end ownership: Own critical structural systems of a ground-up EV platform, from initial concepts to production.
• Real engineering challenges: Work on physical hardware across design, prototyping, testing and manufacturing.
• Direct impact: Influence engineering decisions that directly affect vehicle performance, safety, cost and reliability.
• Leadership exposure: Work closely with the founding team and cross-functional engineering teams.
• Learning and growth: Gain exposure to multidisciplinary challenges across EV architecture, vehicle dynamics, structural optimisation and manufacturing.
