Job description

This role is for one of Weekday’s clients

Salary range : Rs 1200000 - Rs 1800000 (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

Who You Are

  • Degree in Aerospace Engineering / Naval Architecture / Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
  • Strong background in aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and structural analysis
  • Experience with CAD (SolidWorks, Creo, Fusion 360) and simulation tools (ANSYS, Fluent, COMSOL, etc.)
  • Familiar with materials engineering (composites, lightweight structures)
  • Comfortable with rapid prototyping and testing in uncertain environments
  • Excited about hardware, startups, and building from zero to one
  • Bonus : experience in marine craft design or eVTOL / drone projects
  • Create a job alert for this search
