Founding Mechanical Engineer - Electric Hydrofoiling Boats

This role is for one of Weekday’s clients

Salary range : Rs - Rs (ie INR 12-18 LPA)

Min Experience : 1 years

Location : Bengaluru

JobType : full-time

Requirements

We’re building next-gen electric hydrofoiling surfboards — combining aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and electric propulsion to make water feel like flying. This is an early-stage, high-impact role where you’ll help shape both the product and the company from the ground up.

Role

As a Founding Aerospace Engineer , you’ll be responsible for the design, analysis, and testing of hydrofoils and structural components. You’ll work closely on aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, lightweight structures, and stability systems to create high-performance, safe, and efficient boards.

This role is hands-on, experimental, and highly collaborative . You’ll be building prototypes, validating designs in real-world conditions, and helping define the technical culture of the team.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and optimize hydrofoil and aerodynamic structures for efficiency and stability
• Perform FEA / CFD simulations to validate structural integrity and fluid dynamics
• Work on lightweight material selection (carbon fiber, composites, etc.)
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and control engineers on system integration
• Build and test prototypes in lab and field conditions
• Contribute to the overall technical roadmap as an early team member
