Structural Engineer

About the role

What you will do

• Lead structural design and analysis of UAV and helicopter airframes using CFRP and advanced composite materials.
• Perform static, dynamic, modal, vibration, fatigue, and rotor component analyses.
• Optimize structural layouts for weight, stiffness, durability, and manufacturability.
• Conduct ANSYS-based FEA and multi-physics simulations covering aeroelasticity, rotor dynamics, and crashworthiness.
• Develop simulation models to predict structural performance under operational and environmental conditions.
• Plan structural and vibration tests, correlate results with simulations, and support aerospace certification and compliance.
• Collaborate with aerodynamics, propulsion, and systems teams; advise on composite manufacturing processes and mentor junior engineers.

What we are looking for

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in aerospace / mechanical engineering (PhD preferred).
• 2-3 years of experience in aerospace structures (rotorcraft/UAV preferred)
• Proven expertise in composites (CFRP, sandwich structures, hybrid laminates).
• Hands-on proficiency with ANSYS and vibration analysis tools.
• Strong understanding of aero-structural coupling, modal dynamics, and fatigue analysis.
• Experience with rotorcraft/rotor blade structural design is highly desirable.

Nice to have

• Knowledge of aeronautical regulations and certification processes
• Experience in lightweight structure optimization for UAVs and drones.
• Familiarity with additive manufacturing and traditional manufacturing methodology for aerospace structures.
• Strong problem-solving ability with excellent communication and leadership skills.
