EndureAir Systems builds UAV solutions for defence and government customers. We are hiring an entry-level Drone Solutions Engineer to turn customer requirements into technically sound, well-costed solutions.
You will shape opportunities for our defence tenders (ACSFP) from RFP to submission and help build our network of technology partners. You will work with engineering, operations, BD and external partners. This role suits a fresh engineer who wants hands‑on exposure to how drone programs are won and run
Responsibilities
- Analyze RFPs, RFIs and field requirements to identify technical, commercial and eligibility criteria for defence and government tenders.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to define solution architecture, technical specifications and project scope.
- Coordinate with engineering, operations and business development teams to align deliverables, timelines and responsibilities, and prepare bid/no‑bid recommendations.
- Develop Bills of Materials (BOMs) and cost estimates in coordination with engineering teams and vendors, ensuring timely closure.
- Prepare detailed techno‑commercial proposals covering technical solutions, pricing and delivery timelines, along with compliance matrices and submission deadline tracking.
- Identify and evaluate strategic technology partners and vendors for UAV payloads, communication systems and subsystems, including collecting technical datasheets and quotations.
- Support vendor onboarding through NDAs, technical discussions and pricing negotiations, while maintaining an updated vendor database and identifying partnerships that enable participation in new tenders.
Requirements
- B.E./B.Tech or Diploma in Aerospace, Aeronautical, Mechanical, Electronics or a related field. Diploma holders with hands‑on drone flying experience are also welcome.
- 0-2 years of relevant experience. Freshers with strong technical projects and practical exposure are encouraged to apply.
- Basic understanding of UAV subsystems, including airframe, propulsion, flight controllers, payloads, datalinks and ground control stations.
- Proficiency in MS Excel and MS Word for BOM preparation, costing and tracking, along with the ability to interpret datasheets, compare specifications and prepare clear technical proposals and reports.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to coordinate effectively, manage follow‑ups and communicate with internal teams and external vendors.
Qualifications
- B.E./B.Tech or Diploma in Aerospace, Aeronautical, Mechanical, Electronics or a related field.
Nice to have
- Experience as a solutions engineer in defence technology and exposure to project tracking tools.
- A drone project, competition or internship (for example, SAE Aero Design, college UAV team).
- Awareness of Indian defence procurement: RFPs, TEC, trials, DAP.
