### Key Responsibilities * Design and develop drone airframes and structural components, balancing weight, strength, and aerodynamic performance * Design core drone components — arms, frames, mounts, landing gear, propulsion mounts, and other structural/mechanical parts * Design enclosures for electronic components, batteries, payloads, and other onboard systems, factoring in thermal management, weatherproofing, vibration isolation, and ease of access * Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and 2D manufacturing drawings with proper GD&T * Select appropriate materials and manufacturing processes (CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal, composites) based on application requirements * Run basic design validation (fit checks, tolerance stacking, load/stress considerations) and iterate based on test feedback * Support prototype builds and hands-on assembly of drone units and sub-assemblies * Work closely with electronics, manufacturing, and field testing teams to resolve design-integration issues * Maintain organized CAD libraries, revision control, and design documentation * Support BOM creation and coordinate with vendors/fabricators for part sourcing and production ### Required Skills & Experience * 3–4 years of experience in mechanical/product design, ideally in drones, aerospace, robotics, or a related hardware field * Strong proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA, or similar) * Solid understanding of DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles * Experience designing enclosures with attention to thermal, EMI/weather sealing, and serviceability considerations * Working knowledge of materials commonly used in UAV design (composites, aluminum, engineering plastics) * Comfortable with hands-on prototype assembly and troubleshooting fit/build issues * Ability to produce clear, manufacturing-ready drawings and documentation * Good communication skills to work cross-functionally with electronics and production teams ### Send Resume to * [email protected]
