Position Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated RF & Embedded Systems Engineer to join our Ground Control Station (GCS) team for advanced Defence Robotics and Unmanned Systems programs. The role will focus on the development, integration, testing, and deployment of mission-critical communication and control systems connecting Ground Control Stations with UGVs, UAVs, payloads, and autonomous platforms. The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience in designing and deploying embedded solutions for robotics, autonomous systems and responsible for integrating mission-critical communication systems including tactical radios, SDRs, telemetry links, mesh networks, LTE/5G communications, RF payloads, and antenna subsystems while developing the embedded platforms that enable reliable operation in contested environments.

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor's/ masters degree in Electronics & Communication, RF engineering, Embedded Systems, Telecommunications or related disciplines.

- 3-5 years of hands-on experience in RF communications, Embedded systems, Robotics, Defence electronics, or industrial automation.

- Solid proficiency in Embedded C/C++, Python, RTOS, and Embedded Linux.

- Experience with STM32, NXP, TI processors, Raspberry Pi, and NVIDIA Jetson platforms.

- Working knowledge of CAN FD, CANopen, EtherCAT, Ethernet networking, and distributed control systems.

- Understanding of RF communication fundamentals, telemetry systems, antenna integration, and wireless networking.

- Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, CAN analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and RF test equipment.

Key Responsibilities





- Integrate RF communication systems including tactical radios, telemetry links, mesh networks, SDR-based solutions, LTE/5G modems, and long-range wireless communication systems for reliable command, control, and data transmission.
- Support RF subsystem design activities including antenna integration, link budget analysis, EMI/EMC mitigation, spectrum utilization, interference analysis, and field communication trials.
- Design, develop, and validate embedded hardware and firmware for UGV and robotic platforms.
- Develop and troubleshoot communication stacks and networks, including CAN/CAN FD, CANopen, EtherCAT, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, UART, and RS-485.
- Work with ARM-based microcontrollers, embedded Linux platforms, and real time operating systems.
- Integrate and optimize RF communication systems, telemetry links, tactical radios, SDRs, and wireless networking solutions.
- Support motion control, vehicle control, and autonomous subsystem integration.
- Perform hardware bring-up, root-cause analysis, system debugging, and field validation activities.
- Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams across robotics, controls, AI/vision, mechanical, and system engineering.

Preferred Experience

- Defence systems, UGVs, UAVs, autonomous vehicles, surveillance platforms, or mission-critical embedded systems.
- Tactical radios, SDRs, mesh networking, LTE/5G systems, COFDM links, and antenna integration.
- Experience in robotics, autonomous systems, defence electronics, UAVs, or UGVs is preferred
- EMI/EMC compliance, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, and defence-grade qualification testing.
