Hardware Engineer SKEYEBOTS | Bangalore, India | Full-Time | Hybrid

About SKEYEBOTS SKEYEBOTS is an AI-driven autonomous systems company developing intelligent hardware and software for unmanned platforms operating across aerial, ground, and maritime environments. We build for demanding, real-world conditions where reliability, performance, and resilience are non-negotiable.
With engineering operations across India, we are a well-funded, rapidly scaling organisation with a strong institutional foundation and an ambitious roadmap ahead.
We are not looking for people who want to maintain. We are looking for engineers who want to build — and grow with a company doing it at scale.

The Role This is a hands-on hardware engineering role covering the full electronics and firmware lifecycle — from PCB design through board bring-up, drone assembly, sensor integration, and field validation. You will work closely with our senior hardware engineer and hardware architect, contributing to the electronics that support multiple autonomous platform types, including systems that support and interface with our platforms on the ground.
If you have strong electronics fundamentals, working firmware capability, and want your work deployed into real systems from day one, this role is for you.

What You'll Do Electronics Design & PCB Development
Support and contribute to PCB design: component selection, schematic entry, multilayer layout, and routing
Work on circuit design and analysis — power supplies, filter circuits, oscillator circuits, and protection circuits
Apply EMI/EMC best practices and support signal integrity checks during design
Contribute to DFM-compliant layouts ready for manufacturing handoff
Firmware Development
Develop firmware in Embedded C for microcontroller and microprocessor-based subsystems




Support RTOS-based firmware development (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or equivalent) for real-time embedded applications
Work with peripheral drivers, communication protocol stacks (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN), and sensor integration firmware
Support firmware development for auxiliary ground-support systems as needed
Board Bring-Up, Testing & Validation
Support board bring-up and electrical debugging on new designs
Conduct hardware-firmware co-debugging during bring-up and integration
Perform functional, environmental, and reliability validation on hardware and full-system builds
Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and related instruments for debugging and validation
Document test results, failure analysis, and validation reports
Drone Assembly, Integration & Field Testing
Assemble and integrate drone platforms — sensors, electronics, and subsystems
Support system-level integration testing across aerial and ground platforms
Participate in field testing and flight operations (DGCA Remote Pilot Certificate sponsored if not already held)
Identify and resolve hardware and firmware-level issues during field deployment

What We're Looking For Required
B.Tech / B.E. in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline
2+ years of hands-on professional experience in electronics hardware and firmware development
Working knowledge of PCB design fundamentals — schematic entry, layout, and routing on multilayer boards




Solid grounding in analog and digital circuit design and analysis
Working proficiency in PCB design tools: KiCad or Altium Designer
Understanding of EMI/EMC principles and DFM basics
Hands-on board bring-up and hardware debugging experience
Embedded C programming with exposure to RTOS concepts
Familiarity with embedded communication protocols: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN
Ability to work independently and take ownership in a fast-paced workplace
Preferred
Prior experience with autonomous systems, UAVs, robotics, or unmanned vehicles
Experience with FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or similar RTOS platforms
Experience designing for IP-rated or rugged enclosures
Exposure to 3D modelling (SolidWorks or equivalent) and 3D printing for prototyping
Version control with Git
DGCA Remote Pilot Training (RPT) certification (a plus, not a requirement)

What You'll Get Direct mentorship from a senior hardware engineer and hardware architects with deep industry experience
Hands-on exposure across electronics, firmware, drone assembly, and field integration in a single role
Employee Stock Options (ESOPs) — genuine equity upside as the company scales
A fast track to greater ownership as you grow into the role
The opportunity to see your work deployed into real, operational autonomous systems

Location Bangalore, Karnataka — hybrid work culture. Travel to Kochi as required.
