from concept through engineering validation and field trials. This
role combines systems engineering, technical program leadership,
hardware integration, vendor management, and customer coordination.
You will translate defence user requirements into system
specifications and architecture, lead cross-functional engineering
activities, manage project risks and schedules, and represent the
engineering program during customer reviews, demonstrations, and
trials. Key Responsibilities Translate defence user needs into
formal system requirements and system architecture. Develop and
maintain requirements specifications, interface control documents,
and configuration and change-control processes. Lead the core
engineering team, coordinate cross-functional activities, and
conduct design reviews and stage-gate assessments. Maintain project
schedules, budgets, risk registers, and technical delivery plans.
Lead the selection of off-the-shelf robotic components, legs,
actuators, and related hardware in collaboration with engineering
teams. Manage suppliers, technical vendors, procurement
coordination, and import logistics. Represent the program in
customer discussions,



including requests for information (RFIs),
requests for proposals (RFPs), technical reviews, demonstrations,
and user trials. Plan verification and validation activities across
the system development lifecycle. Coordinate the development of
test plans, technical documentation, and evidence required for
engineering acceptance and field evaluation. Support phase-two
workforce planning and define future engineering hiring
requirements. Drive issue resolution and ensure alignment between
technical requirements, project timelines, and delivery objectives.
Qualifications BE/BTech/ME/MTech in Mechanical Engineering,
Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Aerospace
Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.
10–15 years of experience in systems engineering, hardware product
development, robotics, defence engineering, or a closely related
field. At least 3 years of experience leading a hardware, robotics,
defence engineering, or multidisciplinary technical team.
Demonstrated experience delivering a physical product, such as a
UGV, UAV, robot, vehicle, or defence electronics platform, from
design through field testing. Strong understanding of systems
engineering practices,



including requirements management, interface
control documents, the V-model, and verification planning.
Experience leading technical reviews, managing engineering risks,
coordinating suppliers, and overseeing project delivery. Working
knowledge of Indian defence procurement processes, including DAP
2020, iDEX, defence trials, and DGQA inspection. Robust stakeholder
management, technical communication, and team leadership skills.
Preferred Qualifications Experience with DRDO, defence public
sector undertakings (DPSUs), private defence organizations, or
relevant technical roles in the armed forces, including EME,
Signals, or Corps of Engineers. Background in robotics, autonomous
systems, or unmanned ground and aerial platforms. Familiarity with
ROS and robotic system architecture. INCOSE Certified Systems
Engineering Professional (CSEP), PMP, or similar professional
certification. Familiarity with SysML, Cameo Systems Modeler, or
related systems engineering tools. Experience with environmental
qualification and testing standards such as JSS 55555 and
MIL-STD-810. Why Join? Lead the development of a complex robotic
platform from requirements definition through field evaluation.
Shape system architecture, engineering processes, and
cross-functional delivery. Work directly with technical
stakeholders and defence customers on demanding engineering
challenges. Build and guide a multidisciplinary engineering team
while contributing to long-term product development
strategy.
