Careers
Build aircraft that fly this year, not next decade.
Noctara is a small team of engineers who design, build and flight-test autonomous aircraft from one site in Goa. If you want to see your work in the air, this is the place.
Why Noctara
What it is like to work here
Fly early, fly often
Simulation is where we start, not where we stop. A design that has not flown is a hypothesis.
Own the whole aircraft
We design the airframe, the avionics and the autonomy together, because the seams between them are where programmes fail.
Build in India
Sovereign capability means sovereign supply chains. We manufacture here so that what we build can be fielded here.
Autonomy with accountability
Our aircraft make decisions at machine speed, but people set the rules and people are responsible. We build so that both are true.
