India does not build airplanes. Aspera exists to change that.
We are building India's first aircraft OEM, starting with autonomous, amphibious cargo aircraft in the 5–10 tonne capacity. We're solving the self-driving car problem for airplanes—beginning with cargo, where iteration is faster and the path to scale is clearer.
Our first aircraft will take off from water, land on water, and cross seas carrying cargo. Think warehouse-to-port, port-to-island, faster and more frequent than boats ever could be. We start on water to prove reliability and unit economics, then expand to land with the same autonomy stack.
We're starting by retrofitting an existing aircraft to fly autonomously. Proof that we can make a 30-foot wingspan aircraft fly without a human in the loop. In parallel, we're designing our first production aircraft from scratch (MTOW 2.6 tonnes).
We need people who care deeply about craft, even when nobody's watching. Engineers who thrive on hard problems and tight deadlines. People who understand that aviation is unforgiving—that attention to detail and fundamentalist engineering make or break things.
Very few people get to work on something truly meaningful. Something that moves the needle forward and has repercussions for generations. This is the place where that happens.

Don’t take it from me. Hear it from the ghosts of the Wright Brothers and Amelia Earhart.
Problem Statement
We have an existing ultralight aircraft to retrofit and make it fly itself — safely, repeatedly, and in the real world. You’ll be integrating PX4-based flight control with noisy real-world sensors, actuators, and a legacy airframe that was never meant to fly without a pilot. You’ll be the one making sure the aircraft knows what state it’s in, what to do next, and how not to crash. You will define the bridge between control theory and real aircraft behavior.
As a Founding Flight Mechanics Engineer, you’ll get to own the project, build teams, and work in an office facing an actual airplane!
