About Hardware Engineering

Hardware 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.

About the Role

We'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.

Key Responsibilities

Mechanism & Assembly Design

• Support the design and development of mechanisms and mechanical assemblies for our aircraft, from early concept through production intent

• Build and test prototypes yourself — this is a hands-on role, not a design-and-hand-off one

Analysis & Validation

• Assist with load calculations, tolerance stacks, basic FEA, and weight budgets to validate designs before they're cut or molded

Manufacturing Process Exposure

• Work with composites layup, injection molding, additive manufacturing, and CNC machining to learn how to choose the right process for each part

Composites & Structures Track

• If 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

Mechanism Design Track

• If focused on mechanism design help select actuation hardware — servos, stepper motors, and similar — and write short scripts to drive and test them

Qualifications

Must-Have

• Currently pursuing, or recently completed, a degree in mechanical engineering or a related field

• Real hands-on project experience (BAJA, FSAE, robotics, or similar build teams) that demonstrates genuine mechanism design or composites/structures work, not just coursework

• Working familiarity with 2D and 3D CAD

• Basic understanding of load calculations, tolerance analysis, and weight budgeting

• Strength in at least one of the following:

  • Detailed mechanism design (including actuation hardware selection and basic scripting to drive and test it)

  • Composites and structures (modeling and analysis, not just layup execution)

• Strong attention to detail and a willingness to get hands-on with hardware

• Clear communicator, comfortable working with both internal teams and external vendors

• Willingness to go the extra mile when a project needs it

Work location: Hoskote, Bangalore (Headquarters)

What We Offer

• Comprehensive health insurance to keep you and your loved ones covered

Work Schedule:

• In-office role, working alternate Saturdays.
