Mechatronics Engineer

We're Hiring: Mechatronics Engineer

Location:
Hubli, Karnataka

Experience:
2+ years

Domain:
Motion Control | Embedded Firmware | Electromechanical Systems

Freshers are not eligible. Candidates must be willing to relocate.

About this role

You will own the motion system of a remotely operated, stabilised pan-tilt platform for defence use. That covers the hardware (motors, drives, sensors, harnessing) and the software (control loops and real-time firmware) that keep a payload pointed precisely at a target.

You need working depth in both hardware and software. Core mechanical design is handled by a separate Mechanical Design Engineer.

This is a hands-on hardware and firmware role, not a simulation or documentation role.

What you'll be doing

Hardware
Size and select motors, gearboxes, encoders and brakes against torque, speed, accuracy and weight budgets
Integrate and commission BLDC/PMSM motor drives, IMU and feedback sensors on a two-axis platform
Define wiring harnesses,



connectors and power distribution for a battery-powered system
Build test rigs and measure backlash, friction, pointing accuracy and repeatability

Software
Design position, velocity and current control loops and IMU-based stabilisation
Write real-time control firmware in C/C++ on microcontrollers (STM32 or similar)
Implement operator control modes, travel limits and safety interlocks
Take low-latency tracking commands from the vision software and close the loop on them

System
Tune the complete system on real hardware for pointing accuracy and smooth tracking
Support environmental, EMI/EMC and field trials, analyse the logs and fix what they find

Mandatory skills and experience
2+ years of hands-on work on robotic or electromechanical products (robotics, gimbals, drones, automation, EV or defence), covering both hardware and firmware

Hardware
Actuator sizing and selection: BLDC or servo motors, gearboxes, encoders or resolvers
Motor drivers
