Embedded Systems Engineer (Drone Technology)

(Drone Technology)

Experience: Minimum 2 Years

Employment Type: Full-time

Department: Hardware / R&D / Product Development

About the Role:

We are seeking a passionate and skilled Embedded Systems Engineer with strong expertise in

drone systems, embedded controllers, and firmware development. The ideal candidate will have

hands-on experience designing and integrating embedded hardware, tuning PID controllers, and

developing reliable firmware solutions for UAV and drone applications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and integrate embedded systems for UAVs and drone platforms.

• Work on microcontroller-based designs (STM32, ESP32, Atmel, or similar) and implement

control algorithms.

• Design PCB layouts and schematics using tools like KiCad or Altium.

• Develop, test, and debug firmware for drone flight controllers, ESCs, and sensors (IMU, GPS,

barometer, etc.).

• Implement and tune PID control loops for stable drone flight performance.

• Work on firmware updates, bootloaders, and OTA systems for embedded devices.

• Collaborate with mechanical, electronics, and software teams for full system integration.

• Perform hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and

other lab tools.

• Ensure compliance with reliability, safety, and EMI/EMC standards in design and testing.

• Contribute to documentation of design processes, test results, and firmware versions.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical, Mechatronics, or Aerospace

Engineering.

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in embedded systems, particularly in drones or UAV systems.

• Strong understanding of embedded C/C++ programming, real-time operating systems (RTOS),

and communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN).

• Experience with PCB design and layout using KiCad (Altium experience is a plus).

• Good knowledge of control systems and PID tuning for UAV stabilization.

• Experience with firmware development and version control tools (Git, GitHub).

• Familiarity with sensors, telemetry systems, and motor control (PWM, ESCs).

• Ability to work with ArduPilot, PX4, or custom flight stacks is highly desirable.

• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred (Good to Have):

• Experience with drone communication protocols (MAVLink).

• Familiarity with FPGA, CAN bus systems, and telemetry integration.

• Understanding of power systems and battery management for drones.

• Exposure to simulation environments like Gazebo or MATLAB/Simulink for control testing.Role & responsibilities
