About Algo Botix

Algo Botix is a drone deep-tech company developing advanced unmanned aerial systems, multi-UAV command-and-control platforms, ground control stations, intelligent mission-management solutions, and resilient communication technologies.

We work at the intersection of aerospace engineering, robotics, mechanical systems, electronics, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing to build mission-ready systems for defence, public safety, industrial, and commercial applications.

About the Role

Algo Botix is looking for a Structural Design Engineer to support the mechanical and structural development of Ground Control Stations, UAV platforms, and related field-deployable systems.

The candidate will work closely with electronics, avionics, manufacturing, and procurement teams to develop lightweight, rugged, manufacturable, and serviceable products.

Key Responsibilities

Design mechanical structures, enclosures, mounting systems, brackets, frames, and assemblies for Ground Control Stations and UAV systems. Develop rugged, portable, foldable, and field-deployable product designs. Optimize designs for weight, strength, durability, thermal management, ergonomics, and manufacturability. Select suitable materials such as aluminium alloys, carbon-fibre composites, engineering plastics, and sheet metal. Perform basic structural, vibration, shock, and thermal analysis. Conduct FEA simulations and support prototype testing and design validation. Create 3 D CAD models, detailed drawings, GD& T-compliant manufacturing drawings, and Bills of Materials. Conduct tolerance stack-up analysis and ensure proper fitment of assemblies. Support prototyping, fabrication, assembly, testing, and design iterations. Coordinate with vendors and procurement teams for material sourcing, fabrication, quality validation, and cost optimization. Support the transition of products from prototype to production.

Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related discipline. 1–3 years of relevant experience in mechanical design, product development, aerospace, robotics, automotive, or rugged electronics.

Required Skills

Proficiency in Solid Works, Fusion 360, CATIA, Creo, or similar CAD software. Familiarity with ANSYS, Abaqus, Solid Works Simulation, or other FEA tools. Good understanding of structural design, material selection, GD& T, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing processes. Experience with CNC machining, sheet-metal fabrication, 3 D printing, or composite manufacturing. Ability to take a design from concept through fabrication and testing.

Preferred Skills

Experience designing rugged enclosures, portable systems, UAV components, or electronic packaging. Knowledge of vibration isolation, shock protection, thermal management, and IP-rated enclosures. Familiarity with composite materials and lightweight structural design. Knowledge of MIL-STD environmental or vibration requirements. Experience working in fast-paced prototyping or product-development environments.

What We Offer

Opportunity to work on advanced drone and Ground Control Station products. Hands-on experience in designing, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing. End-to-end ownership of mechanical and structural subsystems. A multidisciplinary and fast-paced engineering environment.
