About the role

About Airbound

Our mission is to make a world where everyone has access to delivery. Where goods move as freely as information moves today.

This is possible. Today the cost of moving on a scooter is ₹2/km. That’s the cost of moving a 150kg mass from point A to B. We’re bringing that mass down to less than 5kgs, concurrently bringing the cost down to 10 paise/km. This is how we make deliveries a reality. This is how we create a world where we’re doing billions of deliveries per day.

The tech is not there. The current cost of drone delivery is ₹100/km. We need to completely redefine the way things are done here. We’re building the world’s most efficient aircraft from the ground-up, and scaling that up to beyond anything the aerospace sector has ever seen. This cannot be an iterative process. We have to tear down all conventions and build everything up from scratch.

To do this, we need nothing less than the best engineers. The ones who care about building something fundamentally different, who are deeply curious about understanding the fundamentals of everything they’re working on, who are dreamers that believe in the impossible.

Key Responsibilities

Core Flight Operations

  • Swap drone batteries throughout the day following standard procedures.
  • Install, secure, and verify payloads (1–5 kg).
  • Conduct basic pre-flight checks and ensure the aircraft is ready for launch.
  • Monitor readiness of batteries, payloads, and equipment and report any issues immediately.

Field Setup & Equipment Handling

  • Set up and dismantle tents, tables, and basic field infrastructure.
  • Move and organize inventory, payloads, and on-site equipment.
  • Keep the field site clean, organized, and operationally efficient.
  • Assist with loading/unloading equipment during deployments.

General Operational Support

  • Run basic errands for operations (supplies, food/water for team, small field needs).
  • Transport payloads or goods for last-mile delivery when required.
  • Follow checklists carefully and maintain accurate logs.

Safety & Protocol

  • Follow Airbound operating procedures without skipping steps.
  • Maintain awareness of on-field risks and escalate concerns early.
  • Handle equipment safely and systematically.

Who You Are

  • Disciplined, punctual, and consistent in following procedures.
  • Comfortable with manual/physical tasks and working outdoors.
  • Practical, alert, and able to handle on-field challenges.
  • Willing to learn and committed to supporting reliable flight operations.
  • Communicates clearly and works well with the team.

Qualifications

  • Prior experience in field operations, logistics, warehouse support, or similar roles is helpful but not mandatory.
  • Comfortable lifting and handling 1–5 kg payloads regularly.
  • Able to work outdoors for extended periods.
  • No driver’s license required.
  • Basic technical or mechanical aptitude is a plus.

Stipend: INR 18,000 - 22,000 per month + Health Insurance + Transport Stipend
