Engineering / Production & R&D

About the role

Build and integration • Assemble, wire and integrate multirotor and fixed-wing drones on the production line and in R&D, following build standards and checklists. • Install and configure flight controllers, ESCs, motors, GNSS, telemetry radios and power systems. • Integrate payloads and sensors such as gimbal cameras, LiDAR and companion computers under senior guidance. • Solder, crimp and build harnesses to a production-quality standard; follow ESD practices. Design support • Create and modify 3D parts, mounts and enclosures in SolidWorks; prepare drawings for 3D printing and CNC cutting. • Support propulsion and battery selection by running bench and thrust tests and recording results. Software and configuration • Set up and tune ArduPilot parameters; use Mission Planner / QGroundControl for calibration, mission planning and log review. • Write and maintain Python scripts for testing, MAVLink communication and data logging. • Assist with companion-computer setup for edge-AI detection and tracking applications. Testing, QC and documentation • Carry out pre-flight checks, hover-cage tests and field flight trials; analyse flight logs and report issues. • Perform quality checks on finished drones and maintain build, test and configuration records. • Troubleshoot and repair drones returned from the field.

Requirements

Hardware 1. Hands-on experience building and flying at least one multirotor drone. 2. Working knowledge of flight controller, ESC, motor and battery (LiPo / Li-ion) setup. 3. Good soldering, wiring and electronics fault-finding skills; ability to use a multimeter and power supply. 4. Basic understanding of sensors (GNSS, IMU, camera) and RF telemetry links. Software and design 1. Hands-on experience with ArduPilot (or PX4) and Mission Planner / QGroundControl. 2. Programming in Python (mandatory); basic C/C++. 3. SolidWorks (mandatory) and AutoCAD for parts and drawings. 4. Basic understanding of MAVLink. Good to have • Fixed-wing or VTOL build experience. • Lua scripting in ArduPilot. • Edge-AI experience on Jetson / Raspberry Pi (e.g., YOLO-based detection). • Basic PCB design (KiCad / Altium / Eagle) or embedded projects on STM32 / ESP32. • Drone pilot certificate (DGCA RPC) or competition experience (e.g., SAE, IIT techfests).
