Mission:

We are looking for a skilled and motivated individual with expertise in composite structural design to join our R&D Engineering Department. The successful candidate will play a critical role in the design, development, and validation of lightweight, high-performance airframes, ensuring structural integrity, manufacturability and compliance with aerospace standards.

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.
