About the Role
Mechanical Engineering Intern at Kshatra Labs, focused on designing, simulating, printing, and testing airframe and mechanical structures for UAVs, balancing weight, stiffness, aerodynamics, and packaging under tight deadlines.
Key Responsibilities
- Model parts and assemblies in CAD: frames, arms, mounts, enclosures, payload bays
- Run first-pass FEA on structural parts and simple CFD on fuselages, props or ducts, then sanity-check results
- Take designs from sketch to printed or machined prototype, and iterate after fit-checks and flight or bench tests
- Design for manufacturing and assembly: tolerances, fastener selection, print orientation, part count, serviceability
- Package electronics, batteries, cameras and wiring inside tight, weight-limited airframes
- Help build test rigs (thrust stands, vibration or drop tests) and log results
- Write lean build documentation: drawings, BOMs, assembly notes
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Pursuing or recently completed a B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Aerospace, Automobile or a related branch
- Hands-on CAD skills: ability to model a multi-part assembly and produce a clean drawing
- Practical 3D printing experience (FDM at minimum) and understanding of how print settings affect part strength
- At least one project you designed, built and tested yourself: college team, personal build or competition
Good-to-haves
- Exposure to FEA or CFD
- Experience on a drone, rover, SAE, robotics or rocketry team
- Familiarity with composites (mainly carbon fiber), CNC machining or sheet metal
- Knowledge of engineering materials: aluminum alloys, PA-CF, PETG, TPU, nylon, CF/GF composites
- Basic understanding of propulsion: electric motors and props; IC engine or hybrid exposure is a bonus
- Awareness of high-G loading, vibration isolation, thermal management or weather sealing
What you'll learn
- Taking airframes from rapid prototype to field-ready hardware
- Weight-saving and stiffness trade-offs on real flying platforms
- DFM/DFA as practiced in a fast-moving hardware startup
