The candidate will be responsible for aerostructure design to support research and development of Unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Candidate should be able to create a new design from scratch or re-design an existing product and take it through all stages of design & development, testing, certification until final handover to production.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and Development: Conceptualize and develop designs for various aerostructure components like wings, fuselage, tail and landing gear, mechanical systems like thermal management, actuation mechanisms etc.
- Problem-Solving: Identify and propose design solutions for new components or modifications to existing ones, considering factors like loading, materials, quality, manufacturability, cost, and serviceability.
- Materials and Manufacturing: Exposure to different kinds and types of Aerospace materials and manufacturing processes.
- Drawings and Documentation: Prepare detailed manufacturing drawings and other engineering. GD&T ANSI 14.5 is preferred.
- DFMEA: Developing DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) for complex aerostructure parts, sub-assemblies and complete airframe assemblies. Implement the outcome of DFMEA into Design and Manufacturing processes.
- DFX: Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA) and Design for Serviceability and Maintainability for making design matured at early stage of Development. Cross- functional technical collaborations are must.
- Prototyping and Testing: Support the design, development and testing of rigs and prototypes.
- Configuration Management: Manage configuration of aircraft structures.
- Collaboration: Work with cross-functional teams, including aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, and manufacturing, to develop and integrate systems.
- Developing Best Practices: Using standardized technology/process/tool choices for continuously improving reliability, predictability and usability. To keep up to date with the latest materials, manufacturing technologies and methodologies.
- Mentoring Young Engineers: Should be able to provide guidance and support to junior team members technically.
- Compliance: Ensure designs meet safety regulations and industry standards (e.g., CEMILAC / DGCA/MIL etc.).
Skills & Qualification
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical/Aeronautical Engineering
- Strong experience with Structure design, Mechanisms Materials, and Manufacturing processes.
- 10+ years of industry experience in a Design Engineer role
- Exposure in Aerospace/UAS design and development will be preferred
- Hands-on experience with aerospace CAD software tools, Creo preferred and PLM tools, Windchill preferred
- Familiarity with regulatory compliance and standards in the aerospace industry
- Ability to carry out hand calculations based on the functional requirements and deliver innovative solutions
- Experience with metallic, composite and plastic materials
