Qualifications

• B.E./B.Tech. or M.E./M.Tech. in Mechanical, Mechatronics, EEE, ECE, Automobile, Robotics or related discipline.
• Strong knowledge of automobile technology, vehicle systems and mechanical, electrical, electronic and software interfaces.
• Hands‑on experience in research, experimentation and proof‑of‑concept development, with at least one idea taken from problem definition to a functional prototype.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD modelling, part and assembly design, basic packaging and engineering drawings.
• Practical exposure to component selection, fabrication/additive manufacturing, sensor/actuator integration, assembly, testing and troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with autonomous systems, ADAS, cameras, radar, LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors and embedded controllers (CAN/LIN/Ethernet).
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C/C++, ROS and computer‑vision or machine‑learning workflows.
• Understanding of HMI, data acquisition, vehicle simulation, functional safety or cybersecurity concepts.
• Ability to independently own deliverables, work across disciplines and communicate complex technical topics clearly.
