• Identify and resolve problems involving flight controllers, ESCs, motors, GPS units, batteries, and related UAV parts.
• Support the integration and testing of payloads, sensors, communication modules, and similar equipment.
• Keep accurate flight records, maintenance logs, and mission documentation.
• Handle calibration of the IMU, compass, GPS, and other onboard systems.
• Assist engineering teams with R&D tasks, prototype trials, and performance assessment.
• Work according to DGCA rules or internal safety and operating procedures.
• Offer technical assistance to customers or internal teams during demos.
• Monitor battery condition, charging routines, and power-system health.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical, or ECE Engineering.
• Practical experience flying drones in both manual and autonomous modes.
• Good knowledge of UAV systems, including flight controllers, telemetry, sensors, and radio communication.
• Ability to troubleshoot electronic circuits, wiring, and UAV components.
• Comfort using Mission Planner, QGroundControl, or comparable UAV tools.
• Strong analytical thinking and careful attention to technical detail.
• Willingness to travel for fieldwork, demonstrations, and client meetings.

Preferred qualifications

• Drone pilot certification from DGCA or an equivalent authority.
• Experience with UAV assembly, repair, and customization.
• Exposure to scripting or programming in Python, C, or C++.
• Understanding of lithium battery safety and power handling.
• Experience using GIS, surveying, or mapping tools.

Eligibility

Any graduate can apply, although candidates with an engineering background in electronics, electrical, or ECE are especially suitable for the role.
