Mechanical Transmission & Rotary Coupling Engineer

Were Hiring: Mechanical Transmission & Rotary Coupling Engineer

Full-Time Core Team

LAT Aerospace STOL Aircraft

At LAT Aerospace were building a clean-sheet Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) aircraft to transform regional air mobility in India. Were looking for a Mechanical Transmission & Rotary Coupling Engineer to design analyse and validate the mechanical power transmission system between the engine and generator from precision couplings to lightweight gearboxes optimized for aircraft environments.

What youll do

• Design shaft couplings torque-transfer interfaces and rotary joints for enginegenerator mechanical integration.

• Develop gearbox concepts to match the different RPM and torque requirements of the engine and generator.

• Perform structural fatigue modal and dynamic FEA for rotating machinery.

• Define tolerances alignment strategy bearing selection lubrication paths and balancing requirements.

• Support prototype fabrication build test rigs and perform hardware validation.

• Work with engine generator motor and structural teams to ensure seamless system-level integration.

• Optimise all transmission components for aerospace constraints such as weight vibration limits and reliability.

• Maintain detailed drawings technical documentation DFM notes and test reports.

What were looking for

• 3 years of experience in mechanical transmission drivetrain systems or rotating machinery design.

• Strong understanding of gear trains torsional dynamics vibration analysis fatigue and high-speed rotation.

• Proficiency in ANSYS for advanced structural modal fatigue and thermal FEA.

• Familiarity with precision manufacturing GD&T tolerance stack-up shaft machining and DFM practices.

• Experience integrating couplings or gearboxes with engines motors or generators.

• Bonus: exposure to aerospace lightweighting high-speed couplings or UAV drivetrain systems.

Why LAT

• Core team opportunity at a high-conviction deep-tech startup.

• Real aircraft real flying hardware real impact.

• Build the future of sustainable aviation in India.
