Key responsibilities

- Develop and extend the onboard guidance, navigation, and flight-control software
- Tune the state-estimation and navigation solution, integrating additional correction sources as needed
- Validate new and existing navigation features through structured bench testing
- Contribute flight-control input to structural and flight-envelope parameters in coordination with the mechanical team
- Own hardware-in-the-loop test integration and regression testing of the guidance/control software
- Follow sound engineering practice by relying on proven flight-controller functionality rather than duplicating it unnecessarily

Required qualifications

- B.Tech/M.Tech in Aerospace, Robotics, Controls, or related field
- 5+ years working with flight control or guidance software for UAVs or autonomous vehicles
- Strong software development skills (Python and/or C++) and familiarity with a common autopilot/flight-controller ecosystem
