Design Engineer – UAV Airframe & Systems

About Us:

complete UAV design engineering

Design Engineer

Key responsibilities:

• Take ownership of 

  UAV design engineering

   from concept through prototyping and testing.
• Lead structural and subsystem design, covering:
• External geometry (skins, aerodynamic surfaces, control surfaces).
• Internal layouts (spars, ribs, bulkheads, payload & battery bays, mounting trays).
• Develop detailed 

  3D CAD models, assemblies, and 2D drawings

   with

  GD&T

  using 

  CATIA V5 / 3DEXPERIENCE (mandatory)

  .
• Design 

  composite sandwich structures

   (carbon fibre + honeycomb/foam cores) and 

  metallic structures

   (CNC-machined aluminium/titanium).
• Define 

  load paths and structural concepts

   (wing box, fuselage frames, landing gear attachments).
• Integrate 

  propulsion mounts, avionics racks, payload hardpoints, and access hatches

   into the structure.
• Perform 

  preliminary structural analysis

   (stiffness, stress, buckling) and work with analysis engineers for FEA/CFD validation.
• Manage 

  mass properties and CG discipline

   across components and subsystems.
• Generate and maintain 

  BoMs, revision control, and design documentation

   in line with aerospace gated processes.
• Follow strict 

  documentation and data discipline

  : ensure drawings, BoMs, weight reports, and design changes are traceable and released through proper processes.
• Participate in 

  PDR, CDR, TRR

   and deliver design packages to required standards.
• Support 

  tooling design, prototyping, and hands-on testing

   during builds and flight trials.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Structures Engineering.

• 5–10 years

   of experience in UAV/aircraft design engineering.
• Hands-on expertise in 

  CATIA V5 / 3DEXPERIENCE (mandatory)

  , including surface modelling.
• Strong knowledge of 

  composite and metallic design/manufacturing methods

   (pre-preg, autoclave, CNC).
• Experience designing 

  primary load-carrying structures

   (spars, ribs, bulkheads).
• Understanding of 

  FEA processes

   (ANSYS/NASTRAN/Abaqus) and CFD workflows.
• Proven experience in 

  documentation, change management, and gated aerospace processes

   (PDR, CDR, TRR).

Join us and :

• Own the complete design of 

  next-gen UAVs

• Work at the intersection of 

  innovation and applied aerospace technology

  .
• Be part of a small, high-impact team shaping UAVs built for challenging environments.
