Experience: 2-6 Years

Package: 5 to 10LPA

Role Overview:

We are looking for an experienced UAV Integration and Testing Engineer responsible for UAV assembly, system integration, component validation, troubleshooting, and comprehensive testing. The role involves static and dynamic testing, payload integration, laboratory validation, field trials, and end-to-end flight testing to ensure UAV performance, safety, reliability, and deployment readiness.

Key Responsibilities:

1. UAV Assembly and System Integration

Perform UAV build, assembly, and integration of mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems.

Integrate flight controllers, motors, sensors, communication modules, and other UAV components.

Follow established integration procedures and prepare integration documentation.

Coordinate with design, integration, and testing teams to ensure smooth execution.

2. Procurement and Incoming Quality Checks

Identify and evaluate suppliers for UAV components, including motors, controllers, sensors, and payloads.

Coordinate component procurement and ensure timely availability.

Conduct incoming quality checks and functional inspections to verify compliance with technical specifications.

3. Module Testing and Validation

Independently validate UAV modules, including motors, flight controllers, sensors, and electronic components, before integration.

Document test results and resolve module-level issues.

Ensure components meet defined performance and quality standards.

4. Static, Dynamic, and Environmental Testing

Conduct static testing of mechanical and electronic systems without initiating flight.

Validate motor operation, control commands, and communication between system components.

Perform dynamic testing under controlled conditions, following appropriate safety procedures.

Conduct laboratory and environmental tests, including wind and disturbance simulations, to evaluate UAV stability and performance.

5. Flight Testing and Field Trials

Plan and execute end-to-end UAV flight testing and field trials.

Validate new UAV builds for operational readiness and field deployment.

Identify and troubleshoot system failures in laboratory and field environments.

Analyze test outcomes and recommend design improvements to enhance performance and reliability.

6. Payload Integration and Validation

Integrate payloads while ensuring proper weight distribution and centre of gravity (CG) management.

Verify power distribution and communication interfaces between the UAV and payload.

Work with interfaces and systems such as SPI, GNSS, and telemetry.

Validate payload functionality, flight trajectories, and mission profiles against operational requirements.

7. Flight Control, Navigation, and Fail-Safe Systems

Operate ground control stations and mission-planning software such as Mission Planner and QGroundControl.

Work with GPS/GNSS systems for UAV stabilization, navigation, and autonomous mission execution.

Analyze latitude-longitude coordinates and GNSS constellation data.

Verify fail-safe mechanisms, including safe landing during signal loss or system failure.

8. Troubleshooting and Quality Assurance

Troubleshoot issues across avionics, propulsion, communication, and flight-control subsystems.

Identify root causes of technical failures and implement corrective actions.

Maintain testing records and follow UAV integration, safety, and quality-assurance procedures.

9. Training and Team Coordination

Coordinate with cross-functional engineering teams to resolve integration and testing challenges.

Provide practical guidance and training to team members with limited UAV integration experience.

Develop training modules aligned with different phases of the UAV lifecycle.

Required Experience and Skills:

2to6 years of relevant experience in UAV engineering, integration, testing, or related fields.

Hands-on experience in UAV build, assembly, system integration, and end-to-end flight testing.

Strong troubleshooting skills across avionics, propulsion, electronics, and communication subsystems.

Experience with static testing, dynamic testing, field trials, and module-level validation.

Working knowledge of ground control stations and mission-planning software, preferably Mission Planner or QGroundControl.

Knowledge of GPS/GNSS, telemetry, flight controllers, payload integration, and fail-safe mechanisms.

Strong analytical, documentation, problem-solving, and coordination skills.

Understanding of UAV safety procedures and quality-assurance practices.

Minimum Service Agreement:

* 24 months service for below 3 years experience candidates.

* 12 months service for above 3 years’ experience candidates
