UAV Systems Engineer

Hansa Aerospace India Private Limited; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 700,000 - 1,000,000; Full time

Job summary

Hansa Aerospace India Private Limited in Bengaluru seeks a Systems Engineer to support across airframe, propulsion, avionics, and payload interfaces, tracking parts lists and open items as subsystems come together. You will validate aerodynamic and propulsion data against design targets, cross-checking analysis outputs, dyno data, and mass properties, and flag discrepancies to senior engineers.

The role involves hands-on testing at benches and at flight-test ranges, with documentation duties and

Qualifications

• B.Tech in Aerospace, Mechanical, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• 3–5 years of experience in a systems engineering, integration, or test-support role, ideally in aerospace, automotive, or another hardware-intensive industry
• Basic understanding of aircraft performance fundamentals (drag, range/endurance, mass/CG) — enough to sanity-check data, not to independently generate it
• Working proficiency in Excel/Python for organizing and cross-checking engineering data
• Strong attention to detail and documentation discipline — this role is measured on catching inconsistencies and keeping records accurate, not on independent design decisions
• Willingness to work hands-on at test benches and, periodically, at flight-test ranges outside Bengaluru

Responsibilities

• Support system integration work across airframe, propulsion, avionics, and payload — tracking interfaces, part lists, and open items as subsystems come together
• Assist in validating aerodynamic and propulsion data against design targets: cross-checking analysis outputs, dyno/bench data, and mass properties for consistency, and flagging discrepancies to senior engineers
• Prepare and maintain system-level documentation — requirements trackers, configuration lists, test procedures — under the direction of the Lead/Program Engineer
• Support flight-test preparation and execution: assembling test cards and checklists, setting up instrumentation, logging data during ground and flight tests, and helping with post-test data organization
• Maintain traceability between the PDD requirements (range, endurance, payload, CEP) and the current design/test status, surfacing gaps rather than resolving them independently
• Provide day-to-day coordination support between the mechanical, GNC, and propulsion engineers — scheduling reviews, tracking action items, keeping shared documentation current
