Job description

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

CFD & Mission Simulations

  • High-fidelity CFD using  ANSYS Fluent / CFX / Open FOAM
  • k–ω SST turbulence , compressible flow, and transition modeling
  • Full-envelope aerodynamic simulations :
  • Low-pressure & high-altitude performance
  • Gusts, turbulence, and crosswind impacts
  • Temperature-dependent flow behavior (−56°C to +50°C)
  • Mesh refinement for boundary layers and wake capture
  • MATLAB / Simulink 6-DoF flight modeling
  • AI-assisted aerodynamic optimization and control tuning
  • CAD & Structural Integration

  • CATIA V6 / SolidWorks / Siemens NX  for production-ready designs
  • Composite structure design :   carbon fiber, fiberglass
  • Mold feasibility, layup sequencing, and tooling design
  • Surface and assembly-level tolerance management
  • Weight–strength trade-off optimization
  • Systems Integration & Testing

  • Provide aerodynamic data & stability derivatives to control teams
  • Define  sensor and instrumentation  locations (IMU, pitot, AoA, etc.)
  • Wind tunnel & field testing collaboration
  • Post-flight telemetry analysis & design iteration
  • Simulation–flight correlation for data-driven improvements
  • Core Skill Set

    Aerodynamics & CFD

  • Lift / drag analysis, stability derivatives, control effectiveness
  • High-altitude and low Reynolds number aerodynamics
  • Flow visualization, separation & laminar control
  • ANSYS Fluent / CFX / OpenFOAM expertise
  • CAD & Composites

  • CATIA, SolidWorks, or Siemens NX
  • Surface modeling for aerodynamic bodies
  • Composite layup and mold design for manufacturability
  • Simulation & Programming

  • MATLAB / Simulink for flight dynamics
  • Python (NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib) for analysis & automation
  • Basic FEA (ANSYS Mechanical)
  • Testing & Validation

  • Wind tunnel correlation
  • Flight test data analysis
  • Telemetry & instrumentation planning
  • Qualifications & Experience

    Education :

  • B.E / B.Tech or M.E / M.Tech in  Aerospace, Aeronautical, Mechanical, or Mechatronics Engineering
  • Candidates with strong portfolios or research work in UAV / aerospace design will be prioritized
  • Experience :

  • 3–5 years  of relevant experience in aerodynamic design, CFD, or aircraft structures
  • Proven experience in  end-to-end design, simulation, and prototype development
  • Exposure to flight testing or control system integration is a plus
  • Preferred Background :

  • Worked in aerospace R&D labs, UAV startups, or advanced university research groups
  • Strong understanding of aerodynamics + composites + simulation workflows
  • Preferred Extras

  • Experience with composite layup, tooling & manufacturing
  • CFD optimization scripting (Python or MATLAB)
  • UAVs or experimental aircraft projects built and flown
  • Publications, competition experience, or open-source aerospace contributions
