We are seeking an innovative and skilled Drone Manufacturing & Software Integration Engineer to join our technology team. The role involves designing, developing, and integrating UAV hardware and software systems for industrial and safety applications.You will be responsible for building reliable drones, integrating IoT sensors and payloads, and ensuring seamless communication between drones, ground stations, and cloud platforms. This role is ideal for engineers passionate about combining mechanical, electrical, and software systems to deliver cutting-edge drone-based solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Drone Manufacturing & Hardware :

Design and assemble drones (multirotor, fixed-wing, hybrid) for industrial/safety applications.
Integrate payloads such as thermal cameras, LiDAR, gas detectors, and multispectral sensors.
Work on propulsion systems, aerodynamics, flight stability, and endurance optimization.
Perform prototype testing, field trials, and compliance with aviation regulations (DGCA/FAA).

Software Integration & IoT Systems

Develop and integrate flight control systems (Pixhawk, ArduPilot, PX4, DJI SDK).
Program onboard processors for autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and data acquisition.
Integrate drones with IoT platforms, cloud dashboards, and AI-based safety analytics.
Work with communication protocols (LoRa, 4G/5G, RF, Wi-Fi, Satellite) for real-time telemetry.
Develop ground control interfaces (mobile/desktop apps) for drone operation and safety monitoring.

Industrial Safety Applications

Customize drone solutions for safety inspections, accident investigations, and hazardous area monitoring.
Deploy drones for scaffolding inspection, confined space monitoring, and environmental safety audits.
Support integration with existing EHS management software (incident reporting, risk analytics).
