   • Collaborate with senior engineers to iterate on design solutions and refine mechanical designs for performance, safety, and manufacturability.

2. Engineering Analysis:

   • Support the analysis of mechanical components and systems for stress, strain, fatigue, and thermal effects using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or similar analysis tools.
   • Assist in performing basic structural and material analysis to ensure designs meet necessary performance specifications.
   • Work with senior engineers to validate design performance through simulations and physical testing.

3. Prototyping and Testing Support:

   • Help in the creation of prototypes for newly designed mechanical components and systems.
   • Assist with the setup and execution of tests to validate design concepts and performance.
   • Collect, analyze, and interpret test data to support design improvements and modifications.

4. Documentation and Reporting:

   • Prepare and maintain detailed engineering documentation, including design specifications, technical reports, and drawings.
   • Document test procedures and results, ensuring that all documentation is clear and meets internal and external standards.
   • Collaborate with senior engineers to create design review presentations and updates.

5. Collaboration with Cross-functional Teams:

   • Work closely with other engineering disciplines, such as electrical, software, and systems engineers, to ensure seamless integration of mechanical components within larger systems.
   • Participate in design reviews, meetings, and brainstorming sessions to offer input on mechanical design challenges and solutions.

6. Learning and Development:

• Participate in on-the-job training and mentorship under senior engineers to develop skills and knowledge in aerospace mechanical design.
• Continuously improve design skills by staying updated on aerospace engineering standards, emerging technologies, and best practices.
• Take initiative in developing familiarity with aerospace industry standards (e.g., ASME, SAE, ASTM, MIL-SPEC).

Key Focus Areas:

Aerodynamics:

• Assist in optimizing aerodynamic systems for aircraft or spacecraft performance using modeling software.

Propulsion Systems:

• Contribute to the development and testing of propulsion systems, focusing on efficiency and reliability.

Structural Engineering:

• Design and test structural components to ensure strength, durability, and safety.

Systems Integration:

• Support integration of mechanical, electrical, and avionics systems to ensure seamless operation.

Stress and Fatigue Analysis:

• Perform analysis on components to ensure they can withstand operational stresses and fatigue.

Quality Assurance & Control:

• Ensure adherence to industry standards through inspections, testing protocols, and quality control procedures.

Qualifications and Skills:

1. Educational Requirements:

   • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field from a recognized institution.
   • Freshers or recent graduates are encouraged to apply; no prior professional experience is required.

2. Technical Skills:

   • Familiarity with CAD software (e.g., CATIA, SolidWorks, AutoCAD) for 3D modeling and design.
   • Basic understanding of engineering principles, including mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics.
   • Familiarity with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and simulation tools is a plus but not required.
   • Knowledge of basic manufacturing processes, materials, and design considerations for aerospace applications.

3. Soft Skills:

   • Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
   • Good communication skills, both written and verbal, for interacting with cross-functional teams.
   • Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment and independently when required.
   • Eagerness to learn and develop engineering expertise in the aerospace field.

4. Certifications (Optional but Beneficial):

   • Certification in CAD software (e.g., Certified SolidWorks Associate) is a plus.
   • Any additional certifications or courses related to aerospace engineering, mechanical design, or FEA software are beneficial.
