Hubli India Astr Defence Full time

Job Description Location: Hubli, Karnataka Experience: 510 Years in Mechanical New Product Development (experience in service-based industries will not be considered) About This Role We are looking for a Lead Mechanical Design Engineer to drive the design and development of next-generation defence hardware. You will own mechanical systems from concept to field trials, working at the intersection of design, prototyping, ruggedization, and certification. This is a leadership role where you'll not only engineer products but also build processes, mentor engineers, and establish structured mechanical design practices in our fast-moving environment. What You'll Be Doing - Lead end-to-end design and development of new defence products, from initial sketches to certified field hardware. - Supervise and mentor Mechanical Design Engineers and freshers; grow them into independent contributors. - Establish structured design systems: DFMEA, tolerance stacks, BOM management, revision control. - Own prototyping and testing cycles: coordinate with production, oversee builds, validate against MIL-STD-810G, IP67, and defence compliance. - Drive simulation and analysis (ANSYS, MATLAB, FEA, fatigue, vibration). - Conduct structured design reviews and quality gates to ensure manufacturability, ruggedness, and reliability. - Work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver integrated systems. - Support certification processes and external defence evaluations with clear technical documentation. Requirements - 510 years of hands-on mechanical new product development experience (preferably in defence, aerospace, or hardware startups). - Strong command of CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360) and analysis tools (ANSYS, MATLAB). - Deep understanding of materials, tolerances, MIL standards, ruggedization, and manufacturing processes (CNC, 3D printing, casting, sheet metal). - Experience leading prototype-to-production transitions in complex systems. - Strong problem-solving mindset with proof of what you have designed, tested, and shipped. - Passion for building and owning products end-to-end not just drawings. Read Before Applying - This role demands hard work, tenacity, and ownership. If you prefer routine over unpredictability, this isn't for you. - You'll be expected to design, build, break, fix, and repeat fast. - We're creating products that don't exist in India yet; expect ambiguity, intensity, and steep learning curves. - If you want a safe, comfy job, look elsewhere. If you want to solve real problems that matter to national security, read on. Why You Should Join Us - Work on mission-critical defence hardware not just paper designs. - Be the owner, not just an engineer: your work will define the product. - Collaborate with top-tier engineers across disciplines. - Do work that directly impacts national security. - Experience the adrenaline of design prototype test deployment. What You'll Get - Extreme ownership and autonomy. - Freedom to experiment, fail, learn, and ship. - A high-intensity, high-growth learning environment. - The satisfaction of building something that actually works in the field. About Us Astr Defence is a new-age Indian defence tech company building next-gen systems for the modern battlefield. We're not just designing hardware. We're building India's defence future and it's anything but ordinary. This isn't just a job. It's a mission.
