Descripción del empleo

We're AquaAirX Autonomous Systems - a Bengaluru-based deep-tech startup building autonomous underwater and amphibious robots. Think inspection-class hovering AUVs that map dams and offshore assets (NEXOR), amphibious platforms that transition between air and water (AVATAAR), and an AI native ocean data platform (DeepNimbus).

“Oh, and we're funded by Rainmatter (Zerodha) — so yes, the people who backed us know a thing or two about building for the long haul.”

We work with defence, energy, and maritime customers on problems that genuinely matter, underwater infrastructure that nobody can see, but everybody depends on. Our founders are Forbes Asia 30 Under 30. Our robots have real deployments behind them, not just renders. The vibe is: small team, huge ambition, zero tolerance for “that's not my job.”

If “I took a bare platform and turned it into a vehicle that flies and dives” sounds like a flex you want on your bio — keep reading.

The role, minus the corporate fluff

We need an experienced, hands-on UAV System Integration Engineer to lead and support the complete system integration of advanced unmanned platforms. You'll be the person who brings electronics into the vehicle and makes sure assembly, sensor integration, testing and system performance validation all come together seamlessly.

This is not a “hand over a schematic and walk away” role. This is a build-it, test-it, fix-it role where every connector, cable and sensor has to play nicely with the rest.

Your two big missions

1. The Integrator — Build & Bring-up Electronics (sensors and structure, working as one vehicle).

• Integrate electronics, sensors, communication modules, power systems, and mechanical assemblies into operational vehicles.
• Handle high-end sensor integration, calibration, and interfacing with onboard processing units.
• Ensure proper power management, wiring harness layout, and system interconnectivity.
• Support prototype assembly, bench testing, and field deployment of integrated platforms.

2. The Fixer & Documenter — Test, Debug & Improve (If it misbehaves, you find out why, fix it, and write it down).

• Collaborate with the electronics, software, and mechanical teams to ensure smooth system-level operation.
• Perform troubleshooting, debugging, and optimization of system-level issues.
• Document system architecture, wiring schematics, integration checklists, and test results.
• Support iterative improvements to enhance reliability, robustness, and performance.

What you bring

The hard skills:

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related fields.
• 1–3 years of hands-on experience in system integration and testing of UAVs.
• Familiarity with high-end sensors and integration.
• Good understanding of power distribution, signal integrity, and connector systems.
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills with hardware and firmware interfaces.
• Experience with drones, UGVs, or underwater vehicles.

The human skills (non-negotiable):

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment
• Know embedded systems, CAN/Ethernet protocols, or autopilot systems.

What's in it for you

• Growth opportunities that align with your direct ability in helping the company, rather than an arbitrary corporate ladder.
• ESOP / equity participation based on performance.
• Support for skills upgrading / learning credits.
• Special access to industry events.
