Robotics Engineer

Hiring | Robotics Engineer We’re looking for a Founding Engineer who can independently own and deliver robust autonomous capabilities end-to-end, from technical strategy to real-world execution.

We’re a venture-backed, young startup building an AI-enabled platform for precision drone spraying in agriculture. You’ll work directly with the founders who are IITians, serial entrepreneurs, and ex-Blinkit / Statiq (YC) operators. You’ll get a competitive salary and strong ESOP upside, with ownership from day one.

Responsibilities :

Integrate spraying drones with farm intelligence, remote sensing, and field data to drive precision decision-making and adaptive mission execution.

Build and ship robust autonomy capabilities end-to-end, perception, planning, control, and safety, ready for real-world deployment

Requirements :

Hands-on UAV flight testing and post-flight log / data analysis

Strong working knowledge of the ArduPilot ecosystem (setup, tuning, modes, safety, failsafes)

Working understanding of Machine Learning for robotics / perception (e.G., CV / ML models, deployment constraints, and how ML ties into autonomy and decision systems)

Experience developing, tuning, and optimizing control systems for autonomous flight

Proficient with MATLAB / Simulink and flight simulation tools

Familiar with embedded systems and comms protocols : CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, MAVLink

Understanding of sensor integration : GPS / RTK, IMUs, air-data sensors, magnetometers

Strong analytical problem-solving with system-level integration thinking

High self-motivation and ownership in an agile R&D environment

Basic Qualifications :

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautics, Robotics, or related field

1–2+ years of relevant experience in UAV flight dynamics / controls / autonomy (industry or serious applied work)
