IoT/Drone Embedded Systems Lead

You will lead the design and development of the UAV embedded software stack, including firmware, RTOS, and middleware components. You will collaborate closely with hardware teams to ensure synchronized hardware-software development and optimized performance. You will harden embedded operating systems/RTOS and integrate secure drivers for IMU, GPS, camera, telemetry modules, and mission-critical sensors. You will also implement TPM-based cryptographic services, secure boot, and secure key storage for end-to-end data protection. Furthermore, you will drive decisions on telemetry protocols, edge/cloud communication interfaces, and secure OTA update frameworks. Your role will involve optimizing embedded performance for real-time operation, fault tolerance, and secure communications. Additionally, you will mentor junior engineers, review code/design, and guide best practices in embedded software development. You will support UAV cybersecurity initiatives, including IDS/IPS integration, secure communication channels, and device provisioning. Lastly, you will contribute to IoT device integration, sensor fusion, and gateway connectivity for UAV mission systems. Qualification Required: - B.Tech/M.Tech in Embedded Systems, ECE, Avionics, or related fields. - Strong experience in RTOS/firmware development, low-level driver integration, and embedded security. - Hands-on experience with drone avionics, sensor interfaces, and hardware-software integration. - Familiarity with IoT communication protocols (MQTT, CoAP, LoRa, etc.) and edge gateway integration is desirable. - Knowledge of TPM-based security, secure boot, and OTA firmware update mechanisms preferred.,
