- Design and implement wireless communication systems for command & control (C2), telemetry, video transmission, and payload communication.
- Select and integrate RF modules, antennas, and wireless protocols suited for UAV use cases (e.g., LoRa, LTE/4G/5G, Wi-Fi, RF mesh, ISM bands, MANET, etc.)
- Perform RF link budgeting, propagation analysis, and coverage simulations considering range, LOS/NLOS, and environmental conditions.
- Develop and test redundant communication systems for mission-critical operations. Integrate secured wireless protocols ensuring encryption, authentication, and jamming resistance.
- Validate communication system performance through field testing, spectrum analysis, and latency/jitter/throughput measurement. Collaborate with avionics, software, and mechanical teams to ensure seamless wireless subsystem integration.
- Ensure compliance with relevant frequency regulations (WPC/ITU/DoT) and EMI/EMC standards.




- Debug interference or connectivity issues and work on mitigation techniques (e.g., shielding, filtering, antenna isolation).

Maintain documentation for system design, interface specifications, testing, and field reports.
Skills Required:

- Solid understanding of wireless communication protocols and modulation techniques (e.g., OFDM, DSSS, FHSS, QPSK, etc.)
- Hands-on experience with RF hardware, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and antenna tuning tools.
- Experience with antenna design, selection, and placement for airborne systems.
- Knowledge of network architecture and routing protocols for mesh and multi-hop UAV networks. Familiarity with real-time data links for HD video, telemetry, and control signals.
- Understanding of RF interference management and co-existence strategies.
