Lead the design and development of structural and general mechanical systems for Manna’s aircraft platforms.
Own mechanical design work from concept through CAD, analysis, prototype build, test, design release, and production support.
Design airframe structures, brackets, interfaces, mechanisms, enclosures, and integrated mechanical systems.
Analyse structures under static, dynamic, vibration, fatigue, thermal, and operational loading conditions.
Use CAD, FEA, CFD, hand calculations, and test data to make clear engineering decisions.
Drive lightweight, robust, manufacturable design solutions that meet aircraft-level performance and safety requirements.
Apply DFM/DFA principles across machined parts, sheet metal, composites, moulded components, additive parts, and assemblies.
Conduct tolerance analysis and apply GD&T to ensure repeatable, production-ready designs.
Develop and support mechanical test plans, DVPs, test rigs, validation builds, and data analysis.
Work closely with manufacturing, quality, supply chain, electrical engineering, software, test, and operations teams to resolve system-level challenges.
Support suppliers and manufacturing partners to ensure parts are scalable, cost-effective, and production ready.
Lead root cause investigations and corrective actions for mechanical issues found during build, test, or operation.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to stronger design standards, better reviews, and improved engineering practices.
