Where goods move as freely as information moves today.\nThis is possible. Today the cost of moving on a scooter is ₹2/km. That’s the cost of moving a 150kg mass from point A to B. We’re bringing that mass down to less than 5kgs, concurrently bringing the cost down to 10 paise/km. This is how we make deliveries a reality. This is how we create a world where we’re doing billions of deliveries per day.\nThe tech is not there. The current cost of drone delivery is ₹100/km. We need to completely redefine the way things are done here. We’re building the world’s most efficient aircraft from the ground-up, and scaling that up to beyond anything the aerospace sector has ever seen. This cannot be an iterative process. We have to tear down all conventions and build everything up from scratch.\nTo do this, we need nothing less than the best engineers. The ones who care about building something fundamentally different, who are deeply curious about understanding the fundamentals of everything they’re working on, who are dreamers that believe in the impossible.\nAbout Hardware Engineering\nHardware Engineering owns the aircraft's physical development, from a concept sketch to a part that flies. This spans system design, mechanism design, and structural design: working out how something moves, what it's made of, and whether it holds up under real load. Because most of what we design is custom, it also means designing the equipment we use to prove our work - rigs, jigs, and testers built specifically to validate a design before it goes anywhere near a real flight. It's one team across concept, design, initial prototyping, and test: the full arc of getting a product from an idea to something that ships.\nAbout the Role\nWe're hiring a Mechanical Engineering Intern - for freshers and university students who've built things with their own hands, not just studied how to. No prior professional experience is required; what we're looking for instead is real, hands-on project experience: BAJA, FSAE, robotics teams, personal builds, or similar.\nKey Responsibilities\nMechanism & Assembly Design\nSupport the design and development of mechanisms and mechanical assemblies for our aircraft, from early concept through production intent\n\nBuild and test prototypes yourself - this is a hands-on role, not a design-and-hand-off one\n\nAnalysis & Validation\nAssist with load calculations, tolerance stacks, basic FEA, and weight budgets to validate designs before they're cut or molded\n\nManufacturing Process Exposure\nWork with composites layup, injection molding, additive manufacturing, and CNC machining to learn how to choose the right process for each part\n\nComposites & Structures Track\nIf focused on composites/structures: help us model and design composite structures - laminate design, layup optimization, and structural analysis - rather than just building to a fixed layup\n\nMechanism Design Track\nIf focused on mechanism design help select actuation hardware - servos, stepper motors, and similar - and write short scripts to drive and test them\n\nQualifications\nMust-Have\nCurrently pursuing, or recently completed, a degree in mechanical engineering or a related field\n\nReal hands-on project experience (BAJA, FSAE, robotics, or similar build teams) that demonstrates genuine mechanism design or composites/structures work, not just coursework\n\nWorking familiarity with 2D and 3D CAD\n\nBasic understanding of load calculations, tolerance analysis, and weight budgeting\n\nStrength in at least one of the following:\nDetailed mechanism design (including actuation hardware selection and basic scripting to drive and test it)\n\nComposites and structures (modeling and analysis, not just layup execution)\n\nStrong attention to detail and a willingness to get hands-on with hardware\n\nClear communicator, comfortable working with both internal teams and external vendors\n\nWillingness to go the extra mile when a project needs it\n\nWork location: Hoskote, Bangalore (Headquarters)\nWhat We Offer\nComprehensive health insurance to keep you and your loved ones covered\n\nRelocation assistance and a daily travel stipend to ease your commute\n\nAdvanced salary credit to support you when you need it\n\n“A driven, passionate team where you’ll have room to grow and thrive - this is more than just a job, it’s a rare opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up”\nWork Schedule:\nIn-office role, working alternate Saturdays.\n\nReady to take off?\nScam Notice: Beware of impersonators collecting fees for interviews & jobs at Airbound (Opendrone Private Limited) Please do not make any payments and report any such incidents to us at  .","description_format":"text","description_chars":4733,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Relocation assistance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Drones & UAVs","Delivery"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-17T05:31:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.444,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":47,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/airbound-mechanical-engineer-internship","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/airbound-mechanical-engineer-internship.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T00:10:51Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":262,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":669509},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=669509"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fairbound-mechanical-engineer-internship"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fairbound-mechanical-engineer-internship"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fairbound-mechanical-engineer-internship"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/airbound-mechanical-engineer-internship\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fairbound-mechanical-engineer-internship"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":993251}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"airbound.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":993251},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
