The Role: As a Lead Aero Structure Engineer, you will be responsible to design the structural architecture of high-performance UAVs which includes complex aero structures, control systems and mechanisms to actual flying prototypes.
Own the 6DOF Model: You will take the aerodynamic co-efficient from the CFD Analysis done by the Aerospace Engineer and mass properties from the Materials Engineer to build a high fidelity flight model.
Requirements
Minimum Qualifications:
- Education: M.Tech in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering from a Tier-1 Institute (IITs, BITS, NITs, or global top 100).
- Experience: 3-6 years of professional experience in Aerospace R&D.
- Tool Proficiency: You must have designed physical hardware before, and be able to manage large assemblies (100+ parts) without errors. Additionally, expert-level mastery of SolidWorks or Siemens NX or CATIA.
- This is a Builder Requirement and not for Analysts: You must have physically prototyped, built, and tested a mechanical system yourself.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Carbon Fibre (CFRP), mould design and layup schedules.
- Specific experience designing deployment mechanisms (hinges, latches, spring-loaded actuators).
- Proficiency in ANSYS or Abaqus for Static Structural analysis.
- Proficiency in MATLAB.
Application Requirement: Attach a Portfolio (PDF/Link) showing screenshots of CAD assemblies you have designed for helping us shortlist good Engineers.
Benefits
Rewards Plus:
- Opportunity: To work in the hottest sector of technology today, and to work with cross functional teams making emerging-tech systems. We are building high-speed autonomous systems, not optimising ad-clicks or designing HVAC ducts.
- Impact: You are joining an iDEX winner team building next-gen aerospace technologies. As we scale, you will see accelerated growth. The runway is clear for take-off.
- Startup Vibe: This is a unique Firster's Team opportunity to join 0-1 builders and help in building the company's DNA.
