Who we are: NRT is a start-up based out of Bengaluru & Delhi NCR engaged in development of Next Generation Mission & Technologies (NGM&T) in Aerospace and Defence for Military and Civilian use by the Indian Ministry of Defence, National Disaster Response Force, Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Telecommunications and more. NRT’s vision is to be a leader in creating Unmanned Aerospace Systems for the global market from India. NRT’s product development portfolio includes cutting-edge technologies like solar powered stratospheric High Altitude Pseudo Satellite (HAPS) unmanned platform, Manned Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) using UAV swarms, and more. NRT seeks an experienced Aerospace Structural Design Engineer specialising in aeroelasticity and aerospace materials for fixed-wing UAVs, with a good working knowledge of design for structural strength and fatigue. The role demands design of safe and light-weight structures through advanced design, simulation, and testing methodologies. Roles and Responsibilities: · Create Finite Element models for linear and nonlinear structural analysis, both at component and assembly level. · Select suitable structural materials to meet strength, weight and other performance/ safety requirements. · Design experimental test procedures and instrumentation for validation of analytical models. · Lead aeroelastic and fatigue simulations to evaluate structural stability under dynamic loads. · Translate analysis/ test results into actionable design recommendations and risk mitigation strategies. · Plan suitable flight test instrumentation, analysis tools and carry out flight test data analysis for loads and flutter. · Generate/ review reports for summarising all project-related analysis results. Must have skills: · At least 5 years’ experience in design of main aircraft structural components (metallic and composites), especially from aeroelastic and fatigue considerations. · Experience in static and dynamic analysis (Modal, transient, random vibration) of aircraft structures. · Experience in selection of suitable structural materials and design and manufacturing of composite parts. · Possess advanced FEA skills · Knowledge of aeroelasticity related modelling and simulation. · Knowledge of CAD software e.g., CATIA, SolidWorks. · Awareness of airworthiness certification requirements based on analysis and testing. · Organizational and time management skills. · Ability to work solitary or in a team. · Good Knowledge of Composite Materials and Sizing criteria of Composite parts Good to have skills: · Experience in structural design of unmanned aerial vehicles. · Experience in component and coupon level testing and analysis. · Basic knowledge of Simulation Management tools e.g., SIM scale, SIM Manager. · Experience in analysis of flight test data · Knowledge of Python and MS Office applications Basic Requirement (education & relevant experience): · B.E/B.Tech (Mechanical/Aeronautical) with 6 years of Industrial Experience or M.Tech (Mechanical/Aeronautical) with 5 years of Industrial Experience.
