Job Title: UAV Integration Engineer – Drone Systems

Experience: Minimum 3–5 Years
Employment Type: Full-Time
Department: Hardware R&D – Integration & Testing
Location: Panchkula, Haryana
Company: Aebocode Technologies Private Limited

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced UAV Integration Engineer with strong expertise in drone system assembly, calibration, component integration, testing, and validation. The ideal candidate will have deep hands-on experience working with UAV platforms, payloads, sensors, gimbals, communication modules, and power systems—aligned with the latest Indian Defence standards and operational requirements.

The candidate must be capable of handling complex integration tasks, calibrating flight-critical systems, and ensuring complete airworthiness of UAV platforms before deployment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform end-to-end integration of UAV systems including flight controllers, ESCs, motors, power modules, telemetry, GPS, and payloads.
  • Calibrate IMUs, compasses, GPS modules, cameras, gimbals, and other flight-critical sensors.
  • Integrate advanced payloads such as EO/IR cameras, thermal sensors, LiDAR, rangefinders, and custom defence-grade modules.
  • Ensure compliance with Indian Defence standards, UAV guidelines, and platform-specific performance requirements.
  • Conduct bench testing, ground testing, and flight-readiness assessments.
  • Coordinate with embedded, mechanical, and avionics teams for seamless system-level integration.
  • Troubleshoot hardware, firmware, and signal-level issues during system bring-up.
  • Set up, monitor, and analyze logs (ArduPilot/PX4) to fine-tune and validate system performance.
  • Prepare integration documentation, calibration logs, and technical reports.
  • Assist in field trials, customer demos, and defence acceptance testing.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, or related fields.
  • Minimum 3–5 years of hands-on experience in UAV integration, testing, or field engineering.
  • Strong understanding of UAV components including:
  • Flight controllers (PX4, ArduPilot, Cube, Pixhawk variants)
  • ESCs, BLDC motors, and propulsion systems
  • GPS, magnetometer, IMU, barometer, and other sensors
  • Telemetry radios, RF modules, and ground-control systems
  • Camera payloads, gimbals, and imaging systems
  • Expertise in calibration of:
  • IMU, compass, accelerometer, and gyroscope
  • Camera and gimbal systems
  • Radio channels, fail-safe, and power calibration
  • Strong experience in interpreting logs from Mission Planner, QGroundControl, and analyzing flight stability.
  • Knowledge of Indian Defence UAV requirements including:
  • EMI/EMC considerations
  • Redundancy and fail-safe standards
  • Secure communication & encryption modules
  • Deployment and field-testing procedures
  • Proficiency in using lab tools:
  • Multimeter, DSO, power analyzers
  • Signal testers and servo testers
  • Ability to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve system-level issues independently.

Preferred / Good to Have

  • Experience in integrating heavy-lift drones or tactical UAVs.
  • Knowledge of payload protocols like MAVLink, S.BUS, CAN, UART, I2C.
  • Hands-on experience with EO/IR cameras and defence-grade sensor payloads.
  • Understanding of redundancy systems: dual GPS, dual IMU, or backup communication modules.
  • Experience working with simulation software for testing (MATLAB, Gazebo, or SITL).
  • Familiarity with DGCA RPAS guidelines and defence procurement standards.

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who can:

  • Lead UAV integration independently from component level to flight-ready level.
  • Handle troubleshooting efficiently under tight timelines.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable UAV platforms.
  • Adapt quickly to new technologies and defence-grade system requirements.
  • Maintain high attention to detail and safety in all operations.
