You will be responsible forstructural integrity, mass and centre of gravity efficiency, manufacturability, and field reliability of the platform across its operating envelope.\nThe role involves working across the full development lifecycle, from concept trade studies and mechanical analysis through manufacturing support, assembly, and flight-readiness testing. This is a hands-on role suited to an engineer who is comfortable taking a design from CAD to hardware, and who wants to see their work fly.\nResponsibilities :\nOwn the mechanical design and analysis of the payload platform, including primary and secondary structures, enclosures, mounts, and mechanisms.\nDesign the payload to airframe interface, covering mounting strategy, load paths, vibration isolation, and quick-release or field-serviceable features where required.\nDrive mass and centre of gravity optimisationagainst endurance and flight performance targets, andmaintain the mass budget for the platform.\nAssess thermal paths and airflowfor airborne electronics, and support heatsink, enclosure venting, and sealing decisions.\nPerform material and process selectionbased on stiffness-to-weight, strength, environmental durability, and ingress protection requirements.\nApply DFM/DFA principlesto ensure designs are manufacturable and assembly-friendly at low to medium volume.\nDevelop CAD models, manufacturing drawings, GD&T, BOMs, and assembly documentation.\nConduct tolerance stack-up analysisand fitment validation for subsystem integration.\nWork closely with manufacturing teams and vendors for fabrication, surface treatments, and build planning.\nSupport environmental, functional, and flight test campaigns, including fixtures, instrumentation, and correlation of test data against analysis models.\nCollaborate with electronics, RF, payload, systems, and flight operations teamsto ensure integrated platform performance.\nDemonstrate hands-on know-howin using relevant measuring, inspection, and assembly instruments, and work effectively with vendors to translate design requirements into manufacturable hardware.\nRequirements\nMust-have Qualifications :\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.\n2-3 years of experience in mechanical design and analysis for defence and aerial platforms, such as UAVs, drones, airborne pods, or other aircraft-mounted systems.\nStrong proficiencyin SolidWorks for CAD modelling, complex assemblies, sheet metal, and detailed drafting.\nHands-on experience with FEA tools such as Simcenter3D, ANSYS, or NASTRAN for structural and dynamic analysis.\nStrong understanding of:\nMechanics of materials\nStructural dynamics and vibration environments\nFlight and operational load conditions\nFatigue and margin of safety calculations\nFamiliarity with materials and manufacturing processes for lightweight airborne structures including machining, sheet metal, bonding, composites, inserts, and surface treatments.\nFamiliarity with drawing standards, GD&T, and production-ready documentation.\nExperience working closely with manufacturing and assembly teams to take designs to hardware.\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills.\nGood-to-have :\nExperience with satellite or spacecraft structures, or exposure to space qualification environments.\nExperience with payload pods, gimbals, pointing mechanisms, or antenna structures.\nExposure to MILSTD, DGQA, BIS/QCI, or DAP 2020 standards and qualification processes.\nFamiliarity with thermal-structural coupling analysis.\nExperience supporting vibration, shock, and environmental test campaigns.\nExperience working in private aerospace, defence, or hardware-focused startups.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3851,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Space
