What Will Be Your Responsibilities:

  • Lead the structural design of UAV airframes and subsystems, with a strong focus on composite materials.

  • Develop 3D models, detailed drawings, and assemblies in SolidWorks.

  • Perform structural analysis and finite element simulations to validate design integrity under static and dynamic loading conditions.

  • Collaborate with cross functional engineers / aerodynamicists, and manufacturing teams to optimize structural layouts for performance and manufacturability.

  • Generate design documentation, bills of materials (BOM), and support configuration management.

  • Support prototyping, testing, and design iteration throughout the development lifecycle.

  • Ensure compliance with aerospace industry standards, material specifications, and safety requirements.

Profile And Requirements:

  • Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Structural Engineering, or related field. Proven experience in structural design of composite materials for aerospace applications (preferably UAVs).

  • Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks (CAD, assemblies, surfacing, and drafting). Strong knowledge of structural mechanics, load paths and material behaviors in composites.

  • Experience with FEA tools (SolidWorks Simulation, ANSYS, Abaqus, or similar). Familiarity with manufacturing processes for composites (lay-up, infusion, autoclave, etc.).
  • Strong problem-solving mindset with attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

What we have to offer you:

  • An excellent work environment and an opportunity to make a difference;
  • Salary Compatible with the level of proven experience.
