Production Technician

Our mission is to make a world where everyone has access to delivery. Where goods move as freely as information moves today.

This is possible. Today the cost of moving on a scooter is 2/km. Thats the cost of moving a 150kg mass from point A to B. Were bringing that mass down to less than 5kgs concurrently bringing the cost down to 10 paise/km. This is how we make deliveries a reality. This is how we create a world where were doing billions of deliveries per day.

The tech is not there. The current cost of drone delivery is 100/km. We need to completely redefine the way things are done here. Were building the worlds most efficient aircraft from the ground-up and scaling that up to beyond anything the aerospace sector has ever seen. This cannot be an iterative process. We have to tear down all conventions and build everything up from scratch.

To do this we need nothing less than the best engineers. The ones who care about building something fundamentally different who are deeply curious about understanding the fundamentals of everything theyre working on who are dreamers that believe in the impossible.

Candidates will be selected to support either the Composites or Assembly track. Candidates will have the option to choose their preference while filling out the application form.

• Precision Work Do detailed careful work where alignment and finish matter. Millimetre-level accuracy clean cable layout correct tightness no shortcuts

• Quality Focus Check your own work at every step point out problems early follow checklists carefully and keep proper build records

• Spotting Defects Inspect parts for issues relevant to your track misalignment loose fasteners bad crimps (Assembly) or air pockets layer separation dry spots and resin-starved areas (Composites); raise issues early and help find the root cause

• Tools & Workstation Care Keep your bench jigs fixtures moulds and tools clean and ready; leave the line tidy so the next shift can start without trouble

• Proto Support (for top performers) Work directly with engineers on first builds fix fitment issues and share what you learn back to production

• Continuous Improvement Suggest fixes when something is slow error-prone or unsafe; small daily improvements add up

• Drone Assembly Build sub-assemblies and full aircraft following SOPs - fitting the airframe mounting motors and ESCs routing harnesses placing sensors and tightening fasteners to the right spec

• Electrical & Mechanical Work Crimping soldering building wire harnesses and using torque tools across the aircraft

• Adhesive Dispensing & Surface Prep Comfort with using adhesive guns and doing surface prep like sanding is a strong plus

• Composites Work Cut place and lay up carbon fibre and fibreglass layers into moulds as per the layup plan; work with resin systems wet layup and prepreg

• Vacuum Bagging & Curing Set up bagging materials breather layers and vacuum lines; remove air pockets and hold a full vacuum without leaks; run oven and autoclave cycles from start to finish

Must-Have

• Excellent hand skills and a steady hand able to work with small parts fine wires tight tolerances or delicate layups without losing patience

• Comfort reading basic engineering drawings parts lists layup plans and assembly instructions

• Ability to follow SOPs carefully while also speaking up when something doesnt look right

• Willingness to commute to or relocate near Hoskote

• For experienced candidates: Real hands-on experience in assembly fabrication or composites through past work or vocational training

Good to Have

• For freshers: Hands-on experience through personal projects vocational training or internships

• ITI / Diploma in Fitter Electronics Mechanic Mechanic (Motor Vehicle) or similar trade

• Past experience in drone aerospace EV robotics wind energy marine FRP or precision instrument manufacturing

• Familiarity with crimping soldering harness building torque tools adhesive dispensing and sanding (Assembly Track) or prepreg carbon fibre vacuum infusion and autoclave work (Composites Track)

• Exposure to lean manufacturing 5S or production line ways of working

• Cares about getting the job done thoroughly

• Have an eye detail work and doesnt cut corners

• Comfortable asking questions when unsure

• Can focus through long repetitive tasks

• Wants to work on drones that actually fly

This is our estimated budget for this skillset and current market. Candidates expecting a higher CTC are encouraged to apply and share their expected CTC in the application form along with the skills and experience that justify it. Where a candidate lands within the salary range will depend on several factors including but not limited to skills education qualifications certifications experience location shift and what the team needs.

• Comprehensive health insurance to keep you and your loved ones covered

• Relocation assistance and a daily travel stipend to ease your commute

• Advanced salary credit to support you when you need it

A driven passionate team where youll have room to grow and thrive - this is more than just a job its a rare opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up

• In-office role working alternate Saturdays.
