Company Description
We are an Indian Aerospace Startup building next-generation autonomous Aerial systems for Defense Applications. We are Developing platforms Designed for speed, precision, and survivability.
Role Introduction
We are seeking a UAV & Aerospace Design Engineer to join our core engineering team. You will lead the aerodynamic and structural design of next-generation autonomous aerial systems built for speed, precision, and survivability.
This role blends aerodynamics, CAD design, CFD simulation, and systems integration to take vehicles from concept → digital twin → prototype → flight validation. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams on airframe design, stability analysis, and mission-specific performance optimization.
Key Responsibilities
Own the complete aerodynamic and structural design cycle — from concept sketches to simulation, CAD, and real-world flight testing.
Aerodynamic Design
- Airfoil, wing, and control surface optimization
- Lift / drag improvement, pressure distribution analysis
- Static and dynamic stability studies
- Low Reynolds number and thin-air aerodynamics
- Weight, CG, and moment of inertia optimization
