Job description

Role

This is a high-impact role reporting directly to the Founder. You will be the 'Chief of Staff' for the engineering program, driving the operational cadence to meet aggressive milestones.

Key Responsibilities

• You will be the Coordinator for Engineering sprints and could also be a Project Manager for Special Projects.
• You sit in the engineering meetings, understand the technical blockers, and convert engineering data into the final report.
• You bridge the gap between the Founder’s strategic vision and the engineering team’s daily output.

What you will do

• Project Technical Documentation: You will compile and prepare technical documents, project & review reports taking inputs from Design & Engineering Leads e.g. you chase the Propulsion Lead for graphs and the Structures Lead for CAD screenshots. Then you compile, format and edit the technical report.
• Engineering Logistics: 'We need an equipment quote by Friday.' You find the vendors, get the specs, and hand the data to the engineers.
• Meeting Cadence: You organise the daily stand-ups. You take notes on 'Action Items' and relentlessly follow up.
• Knowledge Management: Organize the Work Drive/SharePoint. Ensure every CAD file and simulation result is version-controlled and accessible.

Note: There will be a probation period for this role.

Requirements

Minimum Qualifications

• Education: B.E./B.Tech (Mechanical or Aerospace preferred) or M.Tech from a top-tier University.
• Experience: 3-5 years with minimum 2 years in Technology Program Management.
• Must have served as a Team Lead or Coordinator for a technical project (e.g. FSAE Team Captain, Capstone Lead in University) – a proven ability to translate engineering data into reports.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience/attitude in operating in cross-functional teams under tight deadlines.
• Basic literacy in engineering design and a good grasp of AI concepts (you don't need to code, but you need to understand what product designers are saying).
• Technical writing & Illustration (LaTeX or Advanced Excel / Data Visualisation) expertise.
• We value speed and adaptability over formal PMP/PRINCE2 certifications. Agile / JIRA / ASANA experience is desirable to coordinate the Design SPRINTs.

Skills & Abilities

• Exceptional written communication Skills. You must be able to turn messy engineering data into clean, professional reports (Word/PPT) rapidly.
• Technical Skills: You will need to handle Project Management tools (Jira/Notion/Trello) and basic data visualisation, as well as update the project dashboard.
• Traits: 'High Agency' with a proven history of solving problems without a playbook, confident (can chase senior engineers), detail-oriented and articulate.

Mandatory Application Requirement

Please attach:

1. A sample of a professional report or technical paper or data visualisation you created. We are looking for clarity, structure, and attention to detail. (Do you think a onepage complete report could be okay?)
2. A clear and concise cover letter telling us why you are a 'fit' for this role, and the value you bring to accomplish the key responsibilities, as also for the four primary job requirements required to be carried out. Do not forget to attach your CV.

Benefits

The Rewards:

• The 'Fast Track': You are not just an Engineer, but need to be working effectively as a 'Chief of Staff' for Engineering. Successful execution of our projects puts you on the fast track to becoming a Program Director or fit into other Senior Roles as we scale. If we win, you win.
• High-Octane Mentorship: Work directly with the Founder and Senior Advisors. You will learn more in 2 years than in a much longer time at a corporate job.
• The Experience: You won't be stuck behind a desk. You will also be on the field for testing and validation. You will see your work fly.

Compensation: Competitive Market Salary + Generous Performance-Based Incentives + Founding Team opportunity i.e. potential ESOPs participation for high impact contributors.
