About Us

We’re building deeply intelligent UAVs for defense forces – designed to out-think, outmaneuver, and dominate even in contested environments. Our mission is to give the armed forces an undeniable edge and help safeguard peace across borders. We move fast, challenge limits, and obsess over building technology that redefines what’s possible. If you are driven to build something truly transformational — then this is it.

Location: Bengaluru-562149 | KIADB Aerospace park, near BLR International Airport.

Experience: 5+ years

Type: Full-time

About the Role

Own the RF hardware stack for UAV communication systems operating in GNSS-denied and contested environments. This includes antenna systems, RF front-end, and analog design for reliable field performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design RF front-end architectures:
  • transmitters, receivers, LNAs, PAs, filters, matching networks
  • Develop and optimize antenna systems:
  • multi-band, directional, compact UAV-integrated designs
  • Perform RF PCB design and layout:
  • impedance matching, signal integrity, high-frequency constraints
  • Conduct link budget analysis and RF performance optimization
  • Ensure EMI/EMC robustness and interference mitigation (hardware level)
  • Define and execute RF testing & validation:
  • VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, field trials
  • Collaborate with SDR/software team for hardware-software co-design

Required Skills

  • Strong in RF and analog circuit design
  • Hands-on with:
  • LNA, PA, filters, mixers
  • Experience with:
  • antenna design and tuning
  • RF PCB layout (high-frequency)

Tools:

  • HFSS / CST / ADS / Altium (or equivalent)
  • Understanding of:
  • link budgets, noise figure, gain, RF propagation

Must-Have Experience

  • 5+ years in RF hardware / telecom / aerospace / defence systems
  • Experience building and validating real RF systems in field conditions

What Success Looks Like

  • High-performance RF front-end with stable links under interference
  • Efficient, compact designs optimized for UAV constraints (SWaP)
  • Reliable performance across dynamic and contested environments
