• Lead RF subsystem integration (RF chains, antennas, matching networks, filters, power amplifiers)
• Perform measurements using spectrum analyzers, signal generators, VNAs, and power meters
• Document test plans, measurement procedures, and analysis reports; guide technicians on bench activities
• Collaborate with firmware/software engineers on signal processing and control loop integration
• Provide technical input to design reviews, vendor selection, and manufacturing acceptance testing

Required Qualifications

• B.E. / B.Tech / M. Tech in Electrical, Electronics, or Telecom Engineering
• 5–10+ years of hands-on RF, wireless, radar, or test/integration engineering
• Proficiency with spectrum analyzers, signal generators, VNAs, power meters, and oscilloscopes
• Ability to document test plans, mentor team members, and communicate technical findings clearly

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in radar, UAV/drone RF systems, or counter-UAS technologies
• Hands-on experience with antenna design, matching networks, and PCB layout for RF circuits
• MATLAB/Python scripting for test automation and signal analysis

Role Overview

The Electronics Integration Engineer is responsible for hardware assembly, PCB bring-up, power integrity, harnessing, and module-level debugging.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-frequency PCB layout and RF module assembly
• Hands-on experience with power integrity analysis and thermal management
• Familiarity with defense/aerospace manufacturing standards and traceability requirements

Role Overview

The Firmware/Software Engineer owns embedded firmware development, control software, test automation, data logging, and operator GUI design. You will bridge hardware and software integration, build reliable test frameworks, and ensure systems are maintainable and testable.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop embedded firmware in C/C++ for microcontrollers, FPGAs, and real-time systems
• Build Python-based test automation scripts and calibration tools for system bring-up and validation
• Design and implement data logging interfaces and operator GUI for system control and monitoring
• Manage version control (Git), implement CI/CD pipelines, and maintain code documentation
• Debug hardware/software interaction issues, support root-cause analysis, and document findings
• Collaborate with RF and electronics engineers on signal processing, control loops, and system integration

Required Qualifications

• B.Tech in Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or Computer Science
• 3–7+ years of hands-on embedded firmware or systems software development
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python
• Hands-on experience with Git version control and basic CI/CD practices
• Ability to build test automation frameworks, logging interfaces, and automation scripts
• Good understanding of hardware/software interaction, debug loops, and real-time constraints
• Comfortable working with instrument APIs and automation frameworks

Preferred Qualifications

• M.Tech in embedded systems or computer science
• Experience with RTOS (Real-Time Operating Systems) or bare-metal embedded development
• Familiarity with signal processing concepts and DSP libraries
• Experience with FPGA development (Verilog/VHDL)
• Prior experience in defense/aerospace software development

Role Overview

The Technician / Lab Assistant is a critical force multiplier for the engineering team. You will manage lab operations, support assembly and testing, maintain equipment and inventory, and ensure all work meets design and manufacturing standards. This role requires discipline, attention to detail, and strong process adherence.
