Aerospace Engineer (Junior) (Delhi)

About us

We are an aerospace startup building unmanned aircraft systems for logistics, delivery, and emerging applications. We design, build, and fly our own aircraft. Our work spans the full stack: aerodynamic design, composite structures, flight software, and ground systems. We are a small, high-caliber team focused on real hardware, rapid iteration, and flight-tested systems. If you want to work on aircraft that actually fly, this is the place.

What you'll do

Own aircraft conceptual design: MTOW, wing loading, aspect ratio, propulsion sizing, CG, and stability

Perform aerodynamic design and validation using XFLR5, OpenVSP, or similar tools

Conduct structural sizing and material trade studies (composites vs aluminum, weight vs cost vs manufacturability)

Build MATLAB/Simulink models for performance, control surface sizing, and stability & control analysis

Define the design baseline that drives manufacturing (drawings, specifications, documentation)

Work hands-on during prototype builds alongside the team

Participate in flight testing: pre-flight checks, test execution, and post-flight analysis

Requirements

Strong fundamentals in aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, and stability & control

Proficiency in MATLAB and Simulink

Experience with XFLR5, OpenVSP, or similar aerodynamic tools

Understanding of composite structures and design for manufacturability

Ability to produce clear technical documentation and defend design decisions

2–6 years of experience, or exceptional fresh graduates with strong UAV project experience (SAE Aero, AeroDesign, thesis UAVs, etc.)

Pay and advantages

₹10–16 LPA (experience and institution dependent)

Housing allowance: ₹10,000–15,000/month

Transport support (company vehicle or commute allowance)

Health insurance: ₹5 lakh family floater

Learning budget: ₹25,000/year

Direct flight access — you will fly and test the aircraft you design
