About the role
The Role : As a Lead Aero Structure Engineer, you will be responsible to design the structural architecture of high-performance UAVs which includes complex aero structures, control systems and mechanisms to actual flying prototypes. Own the 6DOF Model : You will take the aerodynamic co-efficient from the CFD Analysis done by the Aerospace Engineer and mass properties from the Materials Engineer to build a high fidelity flight model. Requirements Minimum Qualifications: Education: M.Tech in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering from a Tier-1 Institute (IITs, BITS, NITs, or global top 100). Experience: 3-6 years of professional experience in Aerospace R&D. Tool Proficiency: You must have designed physical hardware before, and be able to manage large assemblies (100+ parts) without errors. Additionally, expert-level mastery of SolidWorks or Siemens NX or CATIA. This is a Builder Requirement and not for Analysts: You must have physically prototyped, built, and tested a mechanical system yourself. Preferred Qualifications: Experience with Carbon Fibre (CFRP), mould design and layup schedules. Specific experience designing deployment mechanisms (hinges, latches, spring-loaded actuators). Proficiency in ANSYS or Abaqus for Static Structural analysis. Proficiency in MATLAB. Application Requirement: Attach a Portfolio (PDF/Link) showing screenshots of CAD assemblies you have designed for helping us shortlist good Engineers. Benefits Rewards Plus: Opportunity: To work in the hottest sector of technology today, and to work with cross functional teams making emerging-tech systems. We are building high-speed autonomous systems, not optimising ad-clicks or designing HVAC ducts. Impact: You are joining an iDEX winner team building next-gen aerospace technologies. As we scale, you will see accelerated growth. The runway is clear for take-off. Startup Vibe : This is a unique Firster's Team opportunity to join 0-1 builders and help in building the company's DNA. The Compensation, Health, Wellness & Professional Development Competitive Market Salary + Performance-Based Incentive. Comprehensive Allowances: Structured House Rent Allowance (HRA) and standard Conveyance Allowance. Digital & Workplace Enablement: Dedicated allowances covering Mobile & Internet connectivity, and monthly fixed value food coupons. Health & Wellness: Fixed Medical Allowance integrated into monthly compensation to support ongoing medical and wellness needs. Continuous Growth: Direct reimbursement for Professional Development and technical certifications, as specified/applicable to the role. Dynamic Work Culture in NCR: A collaborative, builder-first environment in NCR (Gurgaon), which values institutional discipline alongside rapid startup innovation. Field & Travel Support: On deployment for travel on project work.
