Job details:
Avionics Engineering Lead
Khageshvara Aviation Technology Private Limited | Jaipur, Rajasthan | Full-time, On-site | Reports to CEO
About Us
Building indigenous unmanned eVTOL and VTOL aircraft platforms from India for defence, logistics, disaster response, and future advanced air mobility applications.
About the Role
One of our first senior engineering hires ; you'll own the systems that make the aircraft sense, compute, communicate, and stay in controlled flight without a pilot on board, and help define technical standards for future teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and integrate the flight-control and autonomy stack: autopilot, sensor fusion, navigation, guidance, failsafe behaviour
- Write, debug, and maintain embedded firmware in C/C++ (bare-metal and RTOS), including microcontroller and flight-computer bring-up
- Work across Pixhawk/Cube-class hardware, PX4, ArduPilot, or internal systems
- Integrate sensor suites: IMUs, GNSS, barometers, magnetometers, airspeed sensors, lidar, rangefinders
- Own communication and datalink systems: telemetry, RF links, MAVLink/custom protocols, link reliability
- Design, bring up, and validate custom electronics and PCBs, including HIL testing before flight
Requirements
- Deep embedded systems skill, UAV avionics understanding, flight-control awareness
- Strong C/C++, RTOS experience, microcontroller bring-up, peripheral debugging
- Hands-on UAV autopilot, GNC, EKF, control loops, failsafe logic, flight-test debugging
- Familiarity with PX4, ArduPilot, MAVLink, Pixhawk/Cube-class hardware
- Awareness of DO-178C and DO-254 practices
- B.Tech/M.Tech/PhD in Electronics, ECE, Embedded Systems, or Aerospace (strong portfolio can outweigh formal credentials)
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation for an early senior role
- ESOP eligibility (subject to company policy and approval)
- Ownership of real aircraft avionics, firmware, and flight-control systems
- Direct involvement in vehicle architecture, autonomy decisions, test strategy, and long-term product direction
