Engineer I Design

The candidate will be responsible for aerostructure design to support research and development of UAV’s. Candidate is responsible for creating a new design from scratch or re-design an existing product and taking it through all stages of design & development, testing until final handover to production.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and Development: Conceptualize and develop designs for various aircraft components like wings, fuselage, tail and landing gear.
• Drawings and Documentation: Prepare detailed drawings and other engineering data for manufacturing.
• Collaboration: Work with cross-functional teams, including aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, and manufacturing, to develop and integrate systems.
• Problem-Solving: Identify and propose design solutions for new components or modifications to existing ones, considering factors like cost, quality, manufacturability, and serviceability.
• Compliance: Ensure designs meet safety regulations and industry standards (e.g., CEMILAC / DGCA/MIL etc.).
• Design Reviews: Participate in design reviews and provide technical reports to stakeholders.
• Configuration Management: Manage configuration of aircraft structures.
• Prototyping and Testing: Support the development and testing of prototypes.
• Developing Best Practices: Using standardized technology/process/tool choices for continuously improving reliability, predictability and usability. To keep up to date with the latest materials, manufacturing technologies and methodologies
