Designing the concepts of different VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) autonomous unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). • Participated in assembly of UAVs and flight trials. • Made prototype of components of UAVs on CNC and 3d Printing machines. • Made watertight geometry for simulation and analysis. • Created work instruction manual and bill of materials, required for production. • Analytical calculation for designing UAVs to meet the endurance and power requirement. • Supported manufacturing by making CAD files ensuring geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.

Developed jig and fixtures for manufacturing and testing of parts for quadcopters and fixedwing VTOL (vertical take of and landing) autonomous unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). • Assisted in development of UAVs with high endurance by applying aerodynamic principles. • Collected flight test data and supported their analysis. • Created CAD files for production of UAVs using Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA). • Prepared drawing with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) for the manufacturing components.
