ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a passionate and innovative Drone & Space Engineer to join our STEM Education Division. In this role, you will design, develop, and deliver hands-on drone, rocketry, and space science projects for school students across grade levels. You will be the bridge between cutting-edge aerospace technology and young, curious minds — inspiring the next generation of engineers and scientists.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Curriculum & Project Design

•     Design age-appropriate drone, rocketry, and space exploration projects for K–12 students

•     Develop structured project kits, lesson plans, and activity guides aligned to STEM curricula

•     Create simulation exercises and model-building activities on satellite mechanics, orbital dynamics, and propulsion

•     Continuously update project content based on latest developments in space and drone technology

School Delivery & Workshops

•     Conduct live workshops, demos, and lab sessions at partner schools and events

•     Facilitate competitions such as drone racing, rocketry challenges, and space mission simulations

•     Collaborate with school science and technology teachers to integrate projects into existing classes

•     Travel to school campuses as required for program delivery

Technical & Safety Operations

•     Build, test, and maintain drones, model rockets, and related hardware used in school programs

•     Ensure all activities comply with DGCA regulations, local safety standards, and school safety policies

•     Train student participants in safe handling of drones, launch systems, and electronic components

•     Document technical builds, materials inventory, and incident/safety logs

Innovation & R&D

•     Research emerging trends in UAV, small satellite (CubeSat), and space education globally

•     Prototype new project modules for drones (FPV, autonomous flight) and space (high-altitude balloons, CubeSats)

•     Contribute to the company's IP by documenting and publishing project methodologies

QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS

Educational Background

•     B.Tech / B.E. in Aerospace, Electronics, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related field (mandatory — fresh graduates and those with up to 2 years of experience are encouraged to apply)

Technical Skills

•     Basic hands-on experience building or flying drones / model rockets — academic or personal projects welcome

•     Exposure to flight controllers (ArduPilot, PX4) or mission planning tools (Mission Planner, QGroundControl) is a plus

•     Foundational electronics knowledge: soldering, sensors, and basic circuit assembly

•     Basic programming skills in Python, C++, or Arduino for simple automation or simulation tasks

•     Academic understanding of orbital mechanics, propulsion basics, and space systems

Soft Skills

•     Excellent communication and presentation skills — ability to engage and inspire students of all ages

•     Strong project management and organizational skills

•     Patience, creativity, and a genuine passion for education and mentoring

•     Ability to simplify complex technical concepts for young, non-technical audiences

NICE TO HAVE

•     DGCA Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC) or equivalent drone operator certification

•     Experience with high-altitude balloon payloads or CubeSat design

•     Any prior internship, college project, or workshop facilitation experience in STEM is a bonus

•     Participation in national/international rocketry or drone competitions (SAE Aero, Team Indus, etc.)

•     Knowledge of 3D printing, CAD (Fusion 360, SolidWorks) for hardware prototyping
