About the RoleWe are seeking an exceptional Senior RTL Design Engineer to join our core hardware development team building the computational brains of next-generation intelligent aerial vehicles. This role is ideal for engineers with deep experience in motion control, neural network acceleration, and real-time mathematical computation, who are passionate about pushing the boundaries of autonomy in UAVs and aerial robotics.

You will be responsible for designing and optimizing custom digital logic for high-performance, low-power systems that enable autonomous flight, perception, decision-making, and control.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and implement RTL architectures for real-time motion control, sensor fusion, and neural network inference.

- Translate complex control algorithms and machine learning models into efficient hardware pipelines.

- Optimize logic for latency, area, power, and reliability under real-time constraints.

- Collaborate with system architects, control engineers, and AI teams to define hardware specifications.

- Integrate custom RTL blocks into SoCs and FPGA-based platforms for flight control and autonomy.

- Drive RTL simulation, test bench development, synthesis, timing analysis, and hardware bring-up.

- Participate in design reviews and contribute to hardware/software co-design strategies.

Requirements

Qualifications

- 5–6 years of hands-on experience in RTL design using Verilog/SystemVerilog.





- Strong background in motion control systems, including servo control, path planning, and kinematics.

- Proficiency in implementing fixed-point and floating-point computation for control and AI workloads.

- Experience in neural network accelerators, MAC units, and quantized inference engines.

- Deep understanding of digital signal processing, real-time control, and hardware architecture.

- Familiarity with standard bus protocols (AXI, AHB) and memory subsystems (SRAM, DDR).

- Proficient in RTL simulation (ModelSim, VCS), synthesis, linting, and STA tools.

- B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or equivalent.

Preferred Qualifications

- Prior experience in aerospace or robotics hardware design.

- Exposure to FPGA-based control systems and flight computers.

- Understanding of UAV dynamics, sensor fusion (IMU, GPS, LiDAR), and control loops (PID, MPC).

- Familiarity with hardware/software co-simulation and embedded systems.

- Experience with HLS tools, and integration with C/C++ models or AI frameworks (TensorFlow Lite, ONNX).

Perks

What We Offer

- A mission-driven, innovative environment at the forefront of autonomous flight.

- Opportunity to work on end-to-end UAV hardware platforms.

- Collaboration with top minds in AI, robotics, and aerospace engineering.

- Competitive salary and benefits, and stock opportunities.
