Aerospace Engineer

Experience: 3-7 years

Department: Engineering and Product Development

About Othrys Aviation:

Othrys Aviation is an aircraft manufacturing company focused on designing and developing safe, reliable, and high-performance aviation solutions. We bring together engineering, manufacturing, testing, and innovation to build aircraft that meet stringent operational and regulatory standards.

About the Role:

We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Aerospace Engineer to contribute to the design, development, analysis, testing, and certification of aircraft and related systems.

The role requires strong engineering fundamentals, practical problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across design, manufacturing, quality, testing, supply chain, and regulatory compliance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design of aircraft, airframes, components, and aerospace systems.
• Perform engineering calculations and analyses related to aerodynamics, aircraft structures, loads, stability, performance, weight, and material selection.
• Develop and review 3D models, engineering drawings, assemblies, specifications, and bills of materials.
• Conduct or support structural, stress, fatigue, vibration, thermal, CFD, and finite element analyses, depending on project requirements.
• Assist in the integration of propulsion, avionics, electrical, mechanical, flight-control, and other aircraft systems.
• Translate design requirements into manufacturable engineering solutions.
• Work closely with manufacturing teams to resolve production issues, design deviations, and non-conformities.
• Participate in prototype development, ground testing, flight testing, validation, and verification activities.
• Prepare test plans, procedures, technical reports, compliance documents, and engineering change records.
• Investigate design or test failures, perform root-cause analysis, and recommend corrective and preventive actions.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable aviation regulations, airworthiness requirements, quality standards, and internal engineering processes.
• Support certification activities and coordinate the preparation of technical evidence for regulatory reviews.
• Collaborate with suppliers and vendors to evaluate aerospace components, materials, technical specifications, and manufacturing capabilities.
• Identify opportunities to improve aircraft performance, safety, reliability, manufacturability, weight, cost, and operational efficiency.
• Maintain accurate configuration control and documentation throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Stay updated on developments in aerospace technology, aircraft manufacturing, materials, propulsion, and regulatory requirements.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 37 years of relevant experience in aerospace engineering, aircraft design, aviation manufacturing, defence, UAVs, or a related engineering environment.
• Strong understanding of engineering mechanics, aerodynamics, aircraft structures, materials, propulsion, flight mechanics, or aircraft systems.
• Experience with engineering design and analysis tools such as CATIA, Siemens NX, SolidWorks, ANSYS, NASTRAN, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent software.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, technical specifications, test data, and manufacturing documentation.
• Familiarity with aircraft development, testing, verification, validation, and configuration-management processes.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and root-cause-analysis skills.
• Good technical documentation and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary, safety-critical engineering environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical, Mechanical, or a related engineering discipline.
• Experience in one or more of the following areas:
• Aircraft structural design and stress analysis
• Aerodynamics and computational fluid dynamics
• Flight mechanics, stability, and control
• Propulsion-system integration
• Avionics or aircraft-system integration
• Composite-material design and manufacturing
• Aircraft performance and weight estimation
• Ground testing or flight testing
• Airworthiness and certification
• Knowledge of aviation standards and regulatory frameworks issued by DGCA, FAA, EASA, or equivalent authorities.
• Familiarity with aerospace quality and development standards such as AS9100, DO-160, ARP4754A, or other applicable standards.
• Experience working with prototype aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, light aircraft, or new aircraft-development programmes.
• Exposure to Product Lifecycle Management and configuration-control systems.

What We Offer:

• Opportunity to contribute directly to aircraft development and manufacturing.
• Exposure to the complete aircraft-development lifecycle—from design and prototyping to testing and certification.
• Collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering and manufacturing teams.
• A technically challenging environment that encourages innovation, ownership, and continuous learning.
• Competitive compensation based on experience and technical expertise.

Candidates are encouraged to include details of relevant aircraft, UAV, aerospace design, analysis, manufacturing, testing, or certification projects in their application.
