Job Summary

Technician / Fabricator - Mock-ups & Clay Modelling Product Design & User Experience (PDX) Team

The ePlane Company (Ubifly Technologies Pvt. Ltd.) is an eVTOL startup incubated at IIT Madras building the e200X - a compact electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft for urban air mobility and aerial emergency medical services. Our PDX team shapes everything the pilot paramedic and passenger see and touch: cabin and cockpit architecture interiors materials ergonomics and mock-up-driven design validation developed against certification frameworks such as EASA SC-VTOL and DGCA AEAC 01.

Role Overview

We are hiring a hands-on Technician/Fabricator to join the PDX team building physical mock-ups that drive our design decisions. From full-scale cabin and cockpit bucks used in UX assessment workshops to clay models seating rigs and appearance mock-ups for exhibitions you will turn drawings and CAD into tangible testable hardware. An ideal first role for a diploma graduate who loves making things with their hands and wants to grow inside an aircraft program.

Key Responsibilities

Fabricate design mock-ups ergonomic bucks and study models for the e200X cabin cockpit and exterior using wood MDF foam plastics sheet metal and composites.

Support clay modelling activities: armature preparation clay application rough shaping and surface finishing under designer guidance.

Assist in setting up and running UX assessment workshops assembling seating rigs adjusting mock-up configurations and modifying hardware based on live feedback.

Operate workshop tools and machines (cutting drilling sanding joining) safely; maintain the workshop tools and material stock in good order.

Finish mock-ups to presentation quality: filling sanding priming painting wrapping and trim application.

Read and work from engineering drawings templates and simple CAD outputs; provide practical feedback on buildability.

Support packing crating and handling of mock-ups for internal moves demos and exhibitions.

Follow all facility safety protocols including safe handling of adhesives paints and solvents and proper ventilation and PPE practices.

Requirements

Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Tool & Die Automobile Engineering Carpentry/Model Making or a related trade (recent graduate).
Demonstrated hands-on fabrication ability - academic projects workshop training or personal builds in wood metal foam or plastics.
Ability to read basic engineering drawings and measure accurately with standard workshop instruments.
A careful safety-first working style and willingness to keep a clean organised workshop.
Eagerness to learn clay modelling composite work and finishing techniques on the job.
Team spirit and reliability - mock-up builds are collaborative and often deadline-driven.

Good to Have
Exposure to automotive clay modelling model making or prototyping studios (internship or coursework).
Basic familiarity with 3D printing laser cutting or CNC operations.
Interest in aircraft automobiles or product design.

Benefits

Training and mentorship in clay modelling mock-up building and finishing from experienced designers.

The chance to build the physical models that define a real aircraft - and see them used in pilot and paramedic evaluations.

A clear growth path from fabricator to senior modeller/prototyping specialist within the PDX team.
