• Develop reliable and scalable hardware architectures for defence and industrial applications. 2. Industrial Automation & System Integration
• Work with PLCs, industrial controllers, HMIs and automation systems.
• Integrate third-party equipment and sensors using RS-232, RS-485, Modbus RTU/TCP, CAN, Ethernet and other industrial communication protocols.
• Develop and validate interfaces between electronic hardware, controllers and software applications.
• Lead integration of fire detection, flooding, machinery monitoring and other shipboard or industrial systems. 3. Product Development & Engineering
• Take technical ownership of hardware engineering and integration
• Support development of indigenous sensor systems,



gateways and embedded electronic products.
• Convert functional requirements into hardware specifications, architectures, component selections and engineering deliverables.
• Support prototype development, design validation, optimisation and transition to production. 4. Testing, Qualification & Reliability
• Lead hardware integration testing, troubleshooting, FAT/SAT and commissioning.
• Manage EMI/EMC, vibration, environmental and other applicable qualification requirements.
• Diagnose hardware failures and implement corrective engineering solutions.
• Establish engineering documentation, test procedures and quality controls. 5. Engineering Leadership & Vendor Management
• Lead and mentor a small multidisciplinary engineering team.
• Coordinate with internal software and AI development teams for system integration.
• Manage technical interactions with OEMs, component suppliers, testing agencies and manufacturing partners.
• Drive component standardisation, cost optimisation, manufacturability and production readiness.
• Participate in customer technical discussions, field trials and system commissioning. Required Qualifications & Experience
• B.
Tech/B.
E. in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation, Control Systems or a related discipline.
• 12–18 years of relevant engineering experience, preferably in industrial automation, defence electronics, embedded systems or marine automation.




• Strong practical knowledge of electronic hardware, PLCs, industrial communication protocols and sensor integration.
• Experience in developing and delivering integrated hardware–software systems.
• Familiarity with embedded controllers, electronic circuit design, industrial computing and system-level troubleshooting.
• Exposure to EMI/EMC, environmental qualification and reliability engineering.
• Experience taking products from design and prototyping through testing, commissioning and production. Preferred Experience
• Defence, naval, marine automation or mission-critical industrial systems.
• Shipboard monitoring, IPMS, SCADA or industrial control systems.
• Indigenous electronic product development, industrial IoT and sensor networks.
• Experience working with OEMs, testing laboratories and manufacturing partners. What We Are Looking For We are looking for an engineering leader who remains technically hands-on. The ideal candidate should:
• Be capable of independently resolving complex electronics and system integration challenges.
• Have a strong problem-solving approach and sound engineering fundamentals.
• Be comfortable working in a growing technology company with evolving requirements.
• Demonstrate ownership, initiative, adaptability and professional integrity.
• Be equally comfortable designing a solution, troubleshooting hardware and leading engineering execution.
• Have the ability to build engineering capabilities and take products through to successful deployment. This is a hands-on technical leadership position, not a purely managerial role. The selected candidate will have the chance to play a significant role in developing and deploying indigenous defence and industrial technology solutions.
