Design Engineer

About Company:

BotLab Dynamics Pvt. Ltd. has built technology that allows many drones to fly simultaneously and autonomously in interesting spatial and temporal formations. BotLab is a startup at IIT Delhi Research and Innovation Park. Two focus areas for commercialization of the technology are Media & Entertainment for drone light shows and in defense. The technology is built from scratch by BotLab. The goal of the BotLab is to fly thousands of drones simultaneously operated by a single user. Our mission is to be part of the ecosystem that makes building hardware easy in India.

Responsibilities:

1. Design and optimize mechanical components and systems for drones, including frames, propulsion systems, payload integration, and landing gear.

2. Carrying out hands-on mechanical design, to various levels of detail, from conceptual feasibility studies till production hand over including assembly to prove design product's desired results.

3. Develop, test, and refine prototypes to validate designs under operational conditions, including wind tunnel testing and field trials.

4. Document and report test outcomes, highlighting areas for improvement and optimization.

4. Collaborate with production teams to optimize assembly processes and resolve manufacturing challenges.
