ABOUT STRATUM DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY

Stratum Defense Technology LLP is an Indian defence technology company building autonomous systems for the Indian armed forces. We are at the founding stage, developing indigenous autonomous platforms under the Government of India's Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) framework, built to Made in Bharat content goals. Our flagship naval programme is already underway, and we are now standing up our air vertical.

We are headquartered in New Delhi. The people joining now will be present at every significant programme milestone.

---

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will own the air vehicle. This is the anchor design role for a new hybrid Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) programme, from first configuration sketch to a flight-tested article. This is a hands-on engineering role, not a review or coordination role. You will set the airframe configuration, design the aerodynamics, solve the hover-to-cruise transition, and carry the vehicle through ground and flight test yourself.

A hybrid VTOL platform lifts on dedicated rotors and cruises on a fixed wing, so the transition between the two is the heart of the design problem and the heart of this role. You define the vehicle the autonomy, power, and payload teams build against. This is a rare chance to own a whole air vehicle end to end rather than a single subsystem, with senior technical mentorship on hand to back you.

Full technical scope shared under NDA at first interview stage.

---

RESPONSIBILITIES

Own airframe configuration and aerodynamic design across conceptual and detailed phases
Solve the VTOL-to-cruise transition: aerodynamics, control, and propulsion arrangement across the full flight envelope
Drive flight performance sizing across hover, transition, and cruise regimes, with weight and balance ownership
Establish the stability, control, and flight dynamics characteristics of the vehicle
Integrate hybrid-electric propulsion, avionics, and payload into the airframe as a coherent system
Run aerodynamic analysis using both Computational Fluid Dynamics and low-order methods, and validate against test data
Define and maintain the design and test plan for the air vehicle across programme milestones (Preliminary Design Review, Critical Design Review, flight test)
Carry the design into ground and flight test, and close the loop from test results back into the design---

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

BTech or MTech in Aerospace or Aeronautical Engineering
3 to 5+ years in fixed-wing or VTOL UAV design, with hands-on ownership of, or major contribution to, an airframe configuration
VTOL or hybrid VTOL fixed-wing experience, or strong fixed-wing plus multirotor experience with a clear grasp of the transition regime
Aerodynamic analysis in Computational Fluid Dynamics (ANSYS Fluent or OpenFOAM) and low-order tools (XFLR5, Athena Vortex Lattice, or equivalent)
Airfoil and wing design, and aircraft performance and sizingStability and control fundamentals, and flight dynamics modelling
Computer Aided Design proficiency in CATIA or SolidWorksHands-on experience taking a design into ground or flight test

BENEFICIAL EXPERIENCE

Defence or aerospace UAV development
Aeronautical Development Establishment, National Aerospace Laboratories, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, or a tactical UAV developer (NewSpace Research, ideaForge, Asteria) background
Quad-plane, tilt-rotor, or tilt-wing configuration experienceHybrid-electric or distributed-propulsion integration
Composite airframe and primary structures familiarity
Airworthiness familiarity: Directorate General of Civil Aviation, or military airworthiness through the Centre for Military Airworthiness and CertificationEnvironmental qualification to MIL-STD profiles
Coordination with Guidance, Navigation and Control and avionics teams

WHAT WE OFFER

Own a whole air vehicle end to end, rare at this career stage
Define the founding platform of an established defence company's new air vertical
Salary Rs 9–15 LPA benchmarked to the Delhi aerospace market
A clear path from concept to flight test, with senior technical mentorship behind you
