3 weeks ago


Bengaluru, India AutomindAI Full time

Company Description

We are an Indian aerospace startup building next-generation autonomous aerial systems for defense and dual-use applications. We are developing platforms designed for speed, precision, and survivability.


What You’ll Build

As a Product Lead, you’ll own the technical roadmap and product pipeline for advanced flight systems. You’ll work across aerodynamics, structures, avionics, and systems integration, guiding a small, focused team to take concepts from design → prototype → flight testing.


This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll decide what to build first, what in parallel, and ensure engineering decisions line up with product goals.


Key Responsibilities


  • Define the product development roadmap for aerial systems.
  • Break down projects into sequenced phases and set priorities.
  • Lead system-level integration across structures, aerodynamics, avionics, and control.
  • Guide structural and aerodynamic analysis (loads, drag, stability, thermal).
  • Oversee design reviews, documentation, and testing protocols.
  • Support flight testing, data review, and iterative improvements.
  • Mentor and manage engineers, shaping the technical culture of the team.


Core Technical Expertise


High-Speed Aerodynamics & Flight Dynamics
  • Strong grasp of airflow behavior, drag, lift, stability, and control.
  • Experience with CFD tools, wing/airframe optimization, and vortex/flow analysis.
  • Familiar with wind tunnel and flight testing methods.


Structures & Materials
  • Expertise in structural analysis (loads, vibration, fatigue, thermal effects).
  • Knowledge of composite materials and alloys, selected for load, pressure, and temperature conditions.
  • Experience with landing gear, suspension, and stress testing.


Flight Avionics & Electronics
  • Hands-on with control units, flight controllers, PCBs, and embedded systems.
  • Familiar with sensors (GPS, IMU, RF modules, cameras) and data links.
  • Understanding of system reliability and redundancy in avionics.


Manufacturing & Production
  • Knowledge of composite manufacturing, carbon fiber, and lightweight structures.
  • Experience with 3D printing and rapid prototyping for aerospace.
  • Familiar with manufacturing standards and iterative hardware development.


Systems Engineering & Documentation
  • Experience in system-level design and integration.
  • Skilled at technical documentation, safety standards, and certification processes.
  • Exposure to adaptive control systems and alternative navigation methods.



Preferred Background
  • B.Tech/M.Tech in Aerospace, Mechanical, Avionics, or related fields.
  • 7–12 years of experience in aerospace, UAVs, or defense systems.
  • Hands-on experience with flight-ready hardware and testing campaigns.
  • Proven ability to lead small teams and manage multi-disciplinary projects.



Why Join Us
  • Shape the technical roadmap for advanced flight systems.
  • Work on high-impact projects from day one.
  • Build things that fly — and own what you build.
  • Be part of a core team driving aerospace innovation in India.



How to Apply
  • Your resume (highlighting technical and leadership projects).
  • Any portfolio or publications showcasing flight systems or UAV work.
