Structural Design & Simulation
Job Description
We operate at the intersection of precision hardware, advanced simulation, and mission-critical autonomy, and we're part of India's broader push toward indigenous, self-reliant defence capability.\n\nThis is an early-stage, high-ownership environment. You won't be handed busywork - you'll be handed primary structures that fly, and the responsibility to get them right. The role is based at our Ahmedabad office.\n\nResponsibilities, Duties and Expectations\n\nDesign and develop precision mechanical components, assemblies, and integration mechanisms for our UAV platforms using industry-standard CAD (SolidWorks / Siemens NX / CATIA), from concept through to production-ready detail.\nPerform static, modal, harmonic, fatigue, buckling, and transient structural analyses using ANSYS Mechanical or equivalent, validating airframes and subsystems under real operational loading conditions.\nDrive structural performance through topology optimisation, weight reduction, material selection, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) - without compromising reliability, modularity, or mission readiness.\nIntegrate propulsion, avionics, payload, landing gear, and structural subsystems into the platform while protecting manufacturability, serviceability, and structural integrity.\nSupport fabrication, assembly, and Design Verification Testing (DVT), correlating simulation against experimental data and iterating designs on test outcomes.\nProduce detailed engineering drawings, GD&T-compliant manufacturing documentation, tolerance analyses, and technical reports to support production and design reviews.\n\nQualifications, Experience and Skills\n\nSolid grounding in mechanics of materials, machine design, structural dynamics, vibration, and fatigue.\nHands-on proficiency with CAD software such as SolidWorks, Siemens NX, CATIA, or Creo.\nFEA experience with ANSYS Mechanical, Abaqus, or equivalent simulation tools.\nThe ability to translate simulation results into concrete, defensible design decisions.\nA demonstrated portfolio of mechanical design or structural engineering work - coursework projects, competition builds, or prototype validation.\n\nSkills That Set You Apart\n\nFamiliarity with composite structures, UAV airframes, and lightweight aerospace design.\nHands-on experience with prototype fabrication, machining, 3D printing, or laboratory testing.\nExposure to aerospace manufacturing techniques and DFM for low-volume, high-reliability hardware.\nAn understanding of how structural decisions interact with flight dynamics, propulsion, and payload constraints.\n\nLocation: Hybrid - Ahmedabad, Gujarat\n\nTo Apply: Submit your resume alongside a technical portfolio (CAD models, engineering drawings, FEA reports, design projects, competition work, or prototype validation evidence) to [email protected] , or apply directly through the listing below.
Applications without a demonstrated mechanical design or structural engineering portfolio will not be considered.
