Design Engineer

Drone Design Engineer / UAV Design Engineer

Job Type

Full-Time

Role Overview

We are looking for a Drone Design Engineer to join our UAV R&D team and contribute to the design, development, prototyping, testing, and optimization of multirotor and fixed-wing drone systems.

The candidate will be responsible for designing and developing mechanical as well as structural components, preparing manufacturing-ready designs, and supporting prototype testing and product development.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop UAV/drone airframes, frames, arms, landing gear, payload mounts, canopies, and mechanical components.

• Create detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, and 2D manufacturing drawings.

• Perform design iterations based on prototype testing and flight-test feedback.

• Design components considering weight, strength, manufacturability, vibration, and aerodynamic requirements.

• Support structural analysis and FEA where required.

Required Technical Skills

• Strong understanding of UAV/drone mechanical design.

• Proficiency in SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, or similar CAD software.

• Knowledge of GD&T, engineering drawings, tolerances, and DFM/DFA.

• Understanding of materials such as:

o Aluminium alloys

o Carbon-fiber composites

o Engineering plastics

o Nylon/PA12

o ABS/PETG and other 3D-printing materials

• Basic understanding of aerodynamics and aircraft structures.

• Knowledge of FEA/structural analysis is preferred.

Additional Skills – Preferred

• Experience with multirotor, fixed-wing, VTOL, or hybrid UAVs.

• Experience with carbon-fibre/composite fabrication.

• Experience with CNC machining, injection moulding, or sheet-metal fabrication.

Educational Qualification

Required:

• B.Tech/B.E. in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.

Preferred:

• Relevant project, internship, or professional experience in UAV/drone design and development.

Experience

0–3 years of experience in UAV design, aerospace, mechanical design, robotics, or product development.

Freshers with strong UAV projects, CAD skills, and hands-on prototyping experience may also be considered.

The ideal candidate should have a hands-on approach to engineering, strong CAD and mechanical-design fundamentals, and an interest in developing real-world UAV systems from concept through prototype and flight testing.
