Who we are:
We are a start-up based out of Bengaluru & Delhi NCR. We are engaged in development of next generation missions and technologies (NGM&T) towards future warfare needs of the Indian defence forces. It is undertaking research towards enhancing persistence and autonomy for unmanned vehicles and robotic swarms. NRT’s product development portfolio includes a solar power stratospheric high altitude pseudo satellite (HAPS) unmanned platform and an air/ground launched stand-off autonomous system.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the design and development of autonomy stacks for drones, including navigation,
planning, collision avoidance, and mission planning.
- Develop sensor fusion and state estimation algorithms for UAVs.
- Implement and test path planning and control algorithms for fixed-wing and VTOL
UAV platforms.
- Hardware and software integration on Edge devices for onboard perception sensors.
- Oversee ROS/ROS2-based system architecture, middleware, and distributed
computing frameworks for UAV autonomy.
- Perform hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) and software-in-the-loop (SITL) simulations for
testing the end application.
- Conduct field testing, validation, and troubleshooting of drone platforms in real-world
scenarios.
- Developing architecture for an end-to-end pipeline involving hardware, software, and
ground control station (GCS).
- Contribute to system safety, reliability, and compliance with aviation standards and
regulatory frameworks.
- Research and evaluate emerging technologies to enhance drone autonomy and
performance.
Basic Requirements:
- Industry experience relevant to Drones/ Robotics/ Aerospace/ Autonomous Systems of
3+ years.
- Strong proficiency in C++ and Python for robotics software development.
- Understanding of threading, multi-processing, and OOPS.
- Expertise in robotics frameworks (ROS/ROS2).
- Understanding of system dynamics (ODE and DAE), control theory (PID, LQR, MPC,
Stability Analysis, Linearization), path planning, sensor fusion (EKF/ UKF), and state
estimation
- Hands-on experience with hardware integration: IMUs, monocular camera, and 2D
LiDAR.
- Experience in simulation tools (Gazebo, RViz, JSBSim).
- Familiarity with embedded systems (single-board computers and microcontrollers).
- Linux, Git, Bash Scripting
- Networking and Socket programming - UDP/TCP, Mesh Networks, DDS
- Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and leadership abilities to work in cross-disciplinary teams.
Good to have requirements
- Familiarity with flight control stacks like PX4/Ardupilot and the MAVLINK protocol
- Zenoh Communication Protocol
- Expertise in Linear Algebra, Probability, and Statistical Methods.
- Docker
- Knowledge of Design Patterns
- MATLAB/Simulink
