We're Hiring: CAD Design Engineer
Full-Time | Core Team
LAT Aerospace | Gas Turbine Engines
At LAT Aerospace, we’re building India’s first clean-sheet hybrid-electric STOL aircraft and a next-generation family of gas-turbine engines. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated CAD Design Engineer with a minimum of two years of professional experience in CAD design. This role involves translating engineering specifications into detailed 3D models and 2D drawings that meet design requirements and are optimized for efficient production.
What you'll do
Develop and maintain 3D models and 2D drawings for mechanical components and assemblies using various industrial CAD software.
Apply principles of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) to ensure models are optimized for cost-effective and efficient production methods.
Create complex CAD assemblies, performing interference checks and ensuring proper fit and function of all components.
Collaborate with the engineering and manufacturing teams to refine designs based on feasibility, performance, and cost constraints.
Prepare and manage engineering documentation, including Bill of Materials (BOMs) and specification sheets.
Ensure all designs and drawings comply with relevant industry standards and internal quality requirements.
Participate in design reviews and provide technical expertise and support to project teams.
Manage and organize CAD files and data within the company's Product Data Management (PDM) system.
What we're looking for
Minimum of 2 years of professional experience as a CAD Design Engineer or a similar role.
Demonstrated experience in detailed CAD design, assembly, and drafting.
Proven proficiency with multiple industrial CAD software packages (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, CATIA, Siemens NX, Creo).
Expertise in CAD Assembly techniques, including managing complex assemblies with thousands of parts.
Strong understanding and application of CAD Design for Manufacturing (DFM), including knowledge of additive and subtractive processes.
Familiarity with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards.
Bonus Skill: Knowledge of PDM/PLM systems.

What We Do
Imagine a world where flying is as easy as taking a bus. A world where air travel isn't just for the major cities, but for everyone, everywhere. No more congested hubs, no more wasted hours in security lines—just seamless, affordable, on-demand flights connecting thousands of destinations that the world has ignored for too long. We are building the future of mass aviation: a network of high-frequency, low-cost, 8 seater, STOL (short take-off and landing), medium-haul aircraft that make every city, every town, and every community accessible—without compromise. Powered by next-generation aircraft, designed ground-up for efficiency, built for affordability, and future-proofed for autonomy, we are aiming to rewrite the rules of flight. Our aircraft will take off and land in compact "air-stops" no bigger than a parking lot—no baggage belts, no security bottlenecks—eliminating the need for complex, expensive airport infrastructure that regional air travel simply doesn't require. No more waiting. No more detours. No more being forced to drive when you should be able to fly. This isn't the impractical supersonic future of aviation as you are made to believe. This is the real future of aviation that our communities need. --------- We are hiring We’re building a next-gen aerospace company — from scratch. Our Aircraft team is leading the development of our 8-seater hybrid-electric aircraft, spanning design, prototyping, systems integration, testing, and everything in between. Our GTE team is focused on building a world-class gas turbine engine. We're especially looking for folks with experience in turbines, rotors, control systems, or anything close.
