About Exver Aviation

Exver Aviation Private Limited is an aerospace and defence technology company focused on the design, development, and engineering of indigenous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and advanced aerospace systems.

Role Overview

We are looking for creative, enthusiastic, and technically motivated UAV Design Interns to join our engineering team for a 3-month internship. The selected candidates will work primarily on the design and development of UAV platforms, including 3D CAD modelling, aircraft component design, mechanical assemblies, airframe development, and engineering drawings.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in conceptualization and design of fixed-wing, multirotor, and VTOL UAV platforms.
• Develop detailed 3D CAD models of aircraft structures, components, and mechanical assemblies.
• Design aircraft components, including wings, fuselage, tail sections, landing gear, motor mounts, and structural brackets.
• Work on aircraft configuration, component placement, and mechanical packaging.
• Prepare 2D engineering drawings, manufacturing drawings, and assembly drawings.
• Develop detailed CAD assemblies and maintain design revisions.
• Assist in designing lightweight mechanical structures and composite airframes.
• Work on mechanical integration of propulsion systems, motors, propellers, batteries, and electronic components.
• Support the design of mounting arrangements, enclosures, payload compartments, and mechanical interfaces.
• Assist in prototype development, 3D printing, fabrication, and physical assembly.
• Prepare Bills of Materials (BOMs), technical documentation, and design presentations.
• Coordinate with the engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure design feasibility and manufacturability.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Basic understanding of aircraft and UAV configurations.
• Good command of 3D CAD modelling.
• Familiarity with SolidWorks, CATIA, Fusion 360, or similar CAD software.
• Understanding of mechanical design, assemblies, and engineering drawings.
• Basic knowledge of aircraft components and mechanical systems.
• Understanding of manufacturing processes and design for manufacturability.
• Ability to visualize mechanical components and convert concepts into CAD models.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with SolidWorks or CATIA.
• Knowledge of fixed-wing, multirotor, and VTOL UAV configurations.
• Familiarity with carbon-fibre and composite airframe design.
• Knowledge of 3D printing and rapid prototyping.
• Familiarity with BLDC motors, ESCs, propellers, and mechanical mounting arrangements.
• Experience with sheet metal, plastic components, and mechanical fabrication.
• Previous participation in UAV, RC aircraft, robotics, or aerospace design projects.

Qualifications

• B.Tech / B.E. students in Mechanical, Aerospace, Aeronautical, Mechatronics, or related engineering disciplines.
• Pre-final-year and final-year students are encouraged to apply.
• Recent graduates with relevant CAD and mechanical design skills may also apply.
• Candidates with CAD portfolios, academic projects, or practical product design experience will be preferred.
• Strong interest in aircraft design, mechanical engineering, and UAV product development.

What You Will Gain

• Practical exposure to UAV and aircraft design.
• Hands-on experience with professional CAD tools.
• Experience in aircraft component and mechanical assembly design.
• Exposure to airframe development and composite structures.
• Understanding of manufacturing drawings and production-ready designs.
• Practical exposure to 3D printing, prototyping, and mechanical integration.
• Opportunity to contribute to indigenous aerospace product development.
