Using 3D Design and 3D Printing skills for rapid prototype development 2. Robotics, Control Systems and Simulation (for Hardware Robotics Candidates) Implement and tune PID and model-based controllers for robotic actuation.

Work with simulators such as Gazebo, Webots, Isaac Sim, or custom simulation environments.

Perform kinematic, agile, and structural analysis to validate designs.

Implement ROS1/ROS2 nodes, topics, services, and actions.

Integrate sensors (IMUs, encoders, force sensors, cameras) and actuators (servos, BLDCs, ESCs, linear actuators).

Develop URDF/SRDF models and integrate them into simulation.

- UAVs & ROVs - Drones, Fixed Wings, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (for UAV Candidates) Actual flight skills : DGCA Remote Pilot Certificate, OR 50+ genuine flying hours you can demonstrate. We will ask you to fly.





Hands-on building of quadcopters / multirotors from the frame up.

Deep working knowledge of flight controllers (Pixhawk, SpeedyBee, Cube, etc.), ESCs, power distribution boards, and telemetry systems.

Drone calibration, tuning, and ground station setup (Mission Planner / QGroundControl).

Comfortable with ArduPilot / PX4 / Betaflight / INAV and MAVLink.

Experience with building and flying RC Planes (Aeromodelling) 4.
