- The ideal candidate will focus on the physical and electrical hardware aspects of gimbal systems, ensuring reliability in harsh environmental conditions.

- This role is suited for a hands-on hardware specialist who excels in connectors, harnessing, sealing, thermal management, and system-level integration of gimbal subsystems.

Key Responsibilities : -

- Hardware Design &
- Integration

- Design and develop robust hardware architecture for 2-axis/3-axis gimbal systems.

- Integrate motors, sensors, cameras, PCBs, and wiring subsystems into compact and reliable assemblies.

- Ensure proper mechanical-electrical interfacing, grounding, and shielding practices.

- Connectors, Harness &

- Wiring Select and validate connectors (circular,micro-D, board-to-board, rugged connectors) based on application requirements.

- Design and develop wiring harnesses, including routing, strain relief, and serviceability.

- Ensure compliance with communication protocol harness standards for: o UART, RS232, RS485 o Ethernet / IP-based systems Video signal transmission (HDMI, LVDS, MIPI, etc.)

- Perform signal integrity and EMI/EMC considerations in harness design.

- Environmental Protection &

- Sealing Design systems to meet IP ratings (IP65/IP67/IP68) for dust and water resistance.

- Select and implement gaskets, O-rings, sealing compounds, and potting materials.

- Ensure proper waterproofing and environmental sealing across enclosures, connectors, and cable interfaces.

- Collaborate on shock, vibration, and environmental robustness requirements.





Thermal Management : -

- Analyze and implement thermal solutions including:

- Heatsinks.

- Thermal pads and interface materials.

- Passive cooling strategies Ensure optimal heat dissipation for motors,

- electronics, and embedded systems.

- Motor &
- Hardware Component Selection Select appropriate gimbal motors (BLDC / torquemotors) based on mechanical and electrical constraints.

- Evaluate hardware components such as fasteners,brackets, housings, and mounting interfaces.

- Understand mechanical load paths and ensure structural integrity.

Testing &

- Validation : -

- Conduct hardware validation tests, including:

- Waterproofing/IP tests

- Vibration and shock testing

- Thermal performance validation

- Troubleshoot hardware-related issues across connectors, wiring, and packaging.

- Support field testing and failure analysis.

Required Qualifications : -

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical / Mechatronics /

- Electrical / Electronics Engineering or related field.

- 3+ years of hands-on experience in hardware design for rugged electromechanical systems.

- Strong understanding of:

- Connectors and harness design IP ratings and sealing techniques

- Hardware integration in compact systems

- Proficiency in CAD tools and mechanical design fundamentals.

- Ability to interpret technical datasheets and standards.

Preferred Skills (Positive to Have) : -

- Experience in UAV payloads, gimbals, or defense/aerospace hardware systems.

- Knowledge of EMI/EMC design considerations.

- Familiarity with industrial/military connector standards (MIL-spec).

- Experience with thermal simulation tools.

- Exposure to manufacturing processes and vendor coordination.
