Company Description

We are an Indian Aerospace Startup building next-Generation Autonomous Aerial systems for Defense Applications. We are Developing platforms Designed for speed, precision, and survivability.

Role Introduction

We’re looking for a Flight Systems Engineer who can take systems from CAD → bench → simulation → flight — owning embedded avionics, power systems, communication interfaces, and HIL / SITL testing.

This is a founding-engineer role with high ownership, fast iteration, and real impact.

Key Responsibilities

End-to-End Flight Systems Integration

  • Architect and implement the complete avionics stack : flight controller, companion computer, telemetry, RC link, camera system, PDU, and sensor interfaces .
  • Integrate and validate all onboard sensors (IMU, GNSS, pitot-static, baro, magnetometer, cameras).
  • Ensure accurate sensor time synchronization and fault-tolerant logging.
  • Implement remote control, assisted, and autonomous modes with smooth transition and fail-safe validation.
  • Develop power architecture — battery segregation, PDUs, current sensing, grounding, and thermal management.
  • Design EMI / EMC-robust wiring harnesses , grounding layouts, and shielding.
  • Lead hardware bring-up and functional testing of control electronics.

Simulation, HIL / SITL, and Validation

  • Develop and maintain Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) benches.
  • Create servo / load rigs, thrust stands , and embedded test automation scripts (Python / MATLAB).
  • Perform bench-level and tethered hover tests , log analysis, and telemetry validation.
  • Work with controls, propulsion, and aerodynamics teams for full system correlation.
  • Analyze flight data to tune control gains and verify stability margins.
  • Software, Communication, and Control Integration

  • Program and configure flight controllers and companion systems (PX4 / ArduPilot / custom RTOS).
  • Implement CAN, UART, I2C, SPI, and Ethernet communication protocols for avionics networking.
  • Develop and debug CAN communication scripts for inter-module data exchange and diagnostics.
  • Interface with GCS software for telemetry, RC, and video feed integration.
  • Deploy embedded software on C / C++ / Python / MATLAB Simulink / ROS2 environments.
  • Optimize real-time performance and thermal reliability under dynamic flight loads.
  • Testing, Safety, and Documentation

  • Develop and execute flight test checklists , safety gates, and acceptance criteria.
  • Maintain ICDs, wiring diagrams, calibration logs, and test reports.
  • Lead ground test campaigns (sensor calibration, thrust mapping, EMI scans, endurance runs).
  • Correlate flight data with simulation results for continuous improvement.
  • Core Skill Set

    Embedded Hardware & Electronics

  • Proficiency with microcontrollers (STM32, ESP32, NXP, etc.) , RTOS, and low-level board bring-up.
  • Strong understanding of sensors, IMUs, barometers, GNSS, magnetometers , and camera systems.
  • Power system design : PDUs, fusing, current sensors, battery safety , and thermal design.
  • PCB interface and connector-level design familiarity.
  • Communication & Networking

  • CAN / UAVCAN , UART, I2C, SPI, and Ethernet-based avionics communication.
  • Experience with telemetry links, RC systems , and video transmission optimization .
  • EMI / EMC mitigation, grounding, and shielding best practices.
  • Software & Simulation

  • Proficiency in C / C++ / Python / MATLAB / Simulink for embedded and simulation development.
  • Familiarity with ROS / ROS2 for system integration and visualization.
  • Experience with HIL / SITL setup , Gazebo / JSBSim, or PX4 / ArduPilot test environments.
  • Data analysis and visualization using Python (NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib).
  • Testing & Validation

  • Skilled in hardware test bench design , sensor calibration, and system diagnostics.
  • Knowledge of flight log analysis , control tuning, and telemetry validation.
  • Ground and flight test instrumentation setup and data correlation.
  • Qualifications & Experience

  • B.E / B.Tech or M.E / M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, Mechatronics, Aerospace, or Robotics Engineering .
  • Experience : 3–5 years in flight systems, avionics, or embedded engineering.
  • Hands-on background with UAVs, drones, or aerospace / defense-grade systems preferred.
  • Proven ability to take hardware / software systems from prototype to validated flight.
  • Preferred Extras

  • Companion computer integration (NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi).
  • Visual odometry, SLAM, or GNSS-denied navigation systems.
  • Contributions to open-source flight stacks or embedded projects.
  • How to Apply

  • Resume (PDF)
  • Portfolio / repo / project links (hardware photos, firmware, flight logs)
  • Optional : 2–3 lines on the most challenging flight system problem you solved.
  • Why Join Us

  • You’ll design and integrate systems that actually fly.
  • Founding-level ownership and technical leadership.
  • Work on the frontier of real-world autonomy and flight systems
  • Create a job alert for this search
