Hubballi, India Astr Defence Full time

Mechanical R&D Design Engineer

Location: Hubli, Karnataka

Experience: 1-5 Years

About This Role

We're looking for crazy mechanical minds who love building real stuff — not just drawing lines on a screen.

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you'll work on actual hardware from day one — designing, prototyping, testing, and breaking things that the Armed Forces might use tomorrow. You'll be part of the R&D team behind our next-gen defence products, contributing to everything from sketches to field tests.

This is your shot to do real engineering on real machines with real impact.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Brainstorm & sketch concepts based on first principles (we don't do copy-paste design).
  • Design 3D models and detailed mechanical parts using SolidWorks or Fusion 360.
  • Rapid prototype using 3D printers, CNCs, and other tools in our in-house R&D lab.
  • Work closely with electronics and software teams to bring hardware to life.
  • Break your designs, fix them fast, and learn even faster.

What We're Looking For

We want people who:

→ Solve problems from first principles

→ Love working on real hardware

→ Are obsessed with building cool stuff

Must-Haves:

  • BE in Mechanical Engineering
  • Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360) and simulation tools (e.g., Ansys, Abaqus).
  • Passion for hands-on projects — show us what you've built
  • Strong fundamentals in mechanics, materials and machining processes.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.

Big Plus if You:

  • Were part of college aeromodelling / motorsports / robotics clubs
  • Have competed in events like SAE, Robowars, Formula Student, etc.
  • Have built stuff that went boom, flew, or moved like hell

Read Before Applying

This won't be easy.

You'll break things, fix them, burn midnight oil, and still stay hungry.

But it'll be one hell of a ride.

If you want a comfy job or like following SOPs more than challenging them — this isn't for you.

But if you're wired to solve problems under pressure and chase real impact, welcome aboard.

Why You SHOULD Join Us

  • Get your hands dirty solving real defence problems
  • Work with crazy smart A-players across disciplines
  • Design, build, test — rinse and repeat
  • Do work that matters — for national security

What You'll Get

  • A hardcore learning environment
  • Crazy levels of ownership
  • Freedom to experiment, fail, learn, and ship
  • The satisfaction of building something that actually works in the field
