About Astr Defence

Astr Defence is a new-age Indian Defence OEM building next-generation products for the modern battlefield from anti-drone systems to future-ready weapon platforms.

Design, development, testing, and manufacturing happen
entirely in-house
.

We don't do theoretical projects. We build real hardware that goes into real defence systems.

Read This Before You Apply

This is a core industrial
R&D + manufacturing
environment where you will work on
actual mechanical systems, components, and assemblies
that are part of live defence products under development.

You will not be "shadowing" engineers.

You will be
working with them
.

The work is:

  • Hands-on
  • Execution-focused
  • Time-bound
  • Responsibility-driven

What You'll Work On

You will be directly involved in:

  • Mechanical Design & CAD Modelling
  • Engineering Drawings & Documentation
  • Manufacturing & Assembly Support on the shop floor
  • Prototyping, Testing & Validation of components and assemblies
  • Working with design engineers, technicians, production, and testing teams

You'll see how a product moves from
CAD → machining → assembly → testing → iteration
.

Who This Is For

We want interns who:

  • Love building things, not just studying them
  • Have strong fundamentals in mechanics, materials, and manufacturing
  • Know (or are learning) SolidWorks / Fusion 360 / similar CAD tools
  • Are comfortable getting their hands dirty on the shop floor
  • Want to understand how real products are built under real deadlines

Big Plus If You:

  • Were part of SAE / Formula Student / Robotics / Aeromodelling clubs
  • Have worked on hands-on mechanical projects
  • Enjoy practical problem solving more than theoretical assignments

What You'll Gain

  • Exposure to real defence product development
  • Experience across design, manufacturing, assembly, and testing
  • Practical understanding of how mechanical systems are built at an OEM
  • A hardcore learning environment with real ownership

Why This Internship is Different

You won't leave with just a certificate.

You'll leave knowing how real mechanical products are designed, built, broken, fixed, and shipped.
