UAV System Integration and Test Engineer

Job Title: UAV Systems Integration and Test Engineer

Location: Hyderabad, India

Job Type: Full-Time

Role Description

Looking for engineers with proven hands-on experience who can take ownership of complete systems and contribute from day one. This role involves system-level integration, testing, and evaluation of propulsion and power electronics on flight platforms. Work spans multiple configurations including FPV, multirotor, fixed wing, and VTOL, across scales from micro builds to larger systems.

You will test motors, ESCs, and power systems in real operating conditions, analyse behaviour under load, identify failure modes, and drive performance improvements through structured testing and analysis.

Requires strong hands-on experience with propulsion, power electronics, flight control units, and communication protocols, along with the ability to translate system behaviour into clear engineering outcomes.
