Position Title: Aerospace CAD Engineer UAV Design

Location: Bangalore, India
Job Type: Full-Time
Experience Level: Mid-level (3+ years)

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled Aerospace CAD Engineer to join our UAV development team. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in Creo and hands-on experience designing complex UAV platforms, including fixed-wing, multicopter, and hybrid VTOL aircraft.

This role requires a practical engineer who understands not only CAD design but also how components are manufactured, assembled, and used in real-world conditions.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Design and develop UAV platforms including fixed-wing, multicopter, and hybrid VTOL configurations.
• Create detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, and engineering drawings using Creo.
• Develop complex aerodynamic surfaces and advanced UAV geometries while maintaining manufacturability and performance requirements.
• Design composite structures, airframes, and lightweight aerospace components.
• Collaborate with aerodynamic, structural, manufacturing, and systems teams throughout the product development cycle.
• Perform design optimization for weight, strength, manufacturability, and cost.
• Support prototype development, testing, and design iterations based on flight-test feedback.
• Create and manage advanced FEA models to validate structural performance and design integrity.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering or mechanical engineering with experience in UAVs.
• Minimum 2 years of professional experience using Creo for aerospace or UAV design.
• Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience working on UAV platforms, particularly fixed-wing and VTOL aircraft.
• Strong understanding of aerospace structures, composite materials, manufacturing processes, and material selection.
• Experience creating complex surface models and aerodynamic geometries.
• Proficiency in advanced assembly modeling, top-down design methodologies, and engineering drawing creation.
• Experience developing and interpreting FEA models for structural analysis.
• Strong understanding of aircraft design principles and UAV integration challenges.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience taking UAV designs from concept through prototype and production.
• Familiarity with composite manufacturing methods and tooling design.
• Knowledge of aerospace design standards and best practices.
• Experience working in fast-paced product development environments.

Key Skills

• Expert-level Creo CAD modeling
• Advanced surfacing and complex geometry creation
• UAV airframe design
• Fixed-wing and VTOL aircraft design
• Composite structure design
• Structural analysis and FEA
• Engineering drawing creation
• Material selection and manufacturing awareness
• Problem-solving and design optimization

We are looking for a candidate who is exceptionally strong in Creo, capable of building complex UAV models with minimal guidance, and possesses a deep understanding of aerospace structures, aerodynamics, and UAV design.
