nLocation: Hyderabad, Telangana (Balanagar area)

nJob Type: Onsite, Full-time

nDomain: Defence - Robotics, Autonomous Systems, IoT Systems, Fire Control Systems, and Training Simulators

nWork Requirement: Candidate must carry their own laptop for work

nAbout Vir Innovations

nWe are a Hyderabad-headquartered product development company specializing in defence technology. We design and build advanced robotic systems including Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) with manual and autonomous navigation, Remote Controlled Weapon Systems (RCWS), robotic arm payloads, EO-IR computer vision systems, and IoT-based applications such as fire detection & suppression systems — all engineered to strengthen national security.

nOur core values — Passion, Integrity, Innovation, Quality, and Growth — shape a culture where engineers work across the full stack, from embedded hardware to autonomy software, on systems that are actually fielded.

nKey Responsibilities

nOperator Interface (Front-End)

n

n
- Develop Qt/QML-based Ground Control Station (GCS) applications
n
- Design intuitive operator dashboards for robot monitoring and control
n
- Integrate live telemetry, maps, and video feeds into the operator interface
n

nRobotics Software (Back-End)

n

n
- Develop high-performance robotics applications in C++ and Python on Linux
n
- Implement autonomy, robot control, perception, and hardware integration
n
- Build modular, reliable, real-time software architectures
n

nNetworking & Communication

n

n
- Design and implement TCP/UDP-based communication between robots and GCS
n




- Develop low-latency video streaming pipelines using OpenCV
n
- Implement UART communication with STM32-based embedded controllers
n
- Optimize communication reliability and latency for field deployment
n

nMandatory Requirements

n

n
- Strong proficiency in C++ (must-have)
n
- Robotics fundamentals — kinematics, control systems
n
- Solid understanding of data structures & algorithms, multithreading/concurrency, and memory management
n
- Comfortable working in a Linux development environment
n
- Experience working on real robotic systems or complex system-level projects (not just prototypes/scripts)
n

nPreferred Skills

n

n
- Computer vision (OpenCV)
n
- Networking (TCP/UDP, ROS networking)
n
- GUI development (Qt/QML, PyQt, RViz plugins)
n
- Simulation experience
n
- Active GitHub / project portfolio
n
- Exposure to reinforcement learning or imitation learning (bonus, not core)
n

nWhat We Look For

n

n
- Engineers who build real robotic systems, not just prototypes or scripts
n
- Solid fundamentals over buzzwords
n
- Ability to work across software + hardware integration boundaries
n
- Genuine interest in robotics and defence technology
n

nNot a fit for: pure web development backgrounds (React/Angular/Node.js), notebook-only AI/ML profiles without deployment experience, or candidates without strong C++/systems fundamentals.

nCompensation and Career Progression

nIntern (0–6 months experience)

n

n
- Intern (first 6 months): ₹15,000-18,000month
n
- Trainee (next 6 months): ₹20,000/month (based on performance)
n
- Pre-Placement Offer (PPO) eligibility as Junior Software Engineer after 12 months
n
- Junior Software Engineer salary: ₹22,000–₹25,000/month (based on performance and technical evaluation)
n

nSoftware Engineer (1–2 years experience)

n

n
- Up to ₹5 LPA, subject to experience and technical evaluation
n

nFinal offers for both tracks are determined by relevant robotics/C++ experience and technical assessment.
