About VayDyn

VayDyn is an innovation-driven company at the intersection of design, technology, and autonomy. We build intelligent systems, products, and experiences that merge engineering precision with creative vision — from advanced drones and robotics to AI-driven subsystems.

Our philosophy is simple: performance through intelligence, design through intent.

At VAYDYN, every idea moves with purpose — engineered to be efficient, adaptive, and future-ready.

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Systems Engineer cum UAV Pilot with strong experience in ArduCopter and PX4 flight stacks. The role involves UAV integration, testing, and flight operations, along with system-level troubleshooting and optimization. The candidate will play a critical part in both engineering development and real-world deployment of our drone systems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Operate and pilot drones for testing, R&D, and mission operations. Integrate and configure flight controllers, sensors, and payloads using ArduCopter and PX4.
  • Perform system-level testing, tuning (PID, control loops), and calibration of UAV platforms.
  • Develop and validate mission planning workflows (QGroundControl, Mission Planner, etc.).
  • Troubleshoot hardware/software integration issues on UAV systems.
  • Document test results, prepare reports, and provide feedback for design improvements.
  • Ensure compliance with aviation safety standards and protocols.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, electronics, manufacturing) for end-to-end UAV development.

Qualifications & Skills:

  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Electronics, Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical (or equivalent hands-on experience).
  • 2+ years of practical experience with UAVs, especially ArduCopter and PX4-based platforms.
  • Proven experience in manual and autonomous drone operations.
  • Strong understanding of UAV system architecture: flight controllers, ESCs, propulsion, GNSS, telemetry, and sensors.
  • Hands-on experience with PID tuning, firmware configuration, and mission planning tools.
  • Knowledge of communication protocols (MAVLink, CAN, UART, I2C).
  • Familiarity with ground control software (Mission Planner, QGC, MAVProxy).
  • Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills (hardware + software). Added advantage: experience with custom UAV builds, ROS integration, C++/Python scripting for automation.

Nice to Have (Optional):

  • Exposure to regulatory compliance (DGCA, FAA Part 107, or similar). Experience with swarm operations or advanced autonomy.
  • Familiarity with payload integration (EO/IR cameras, LiDAR, etc.).
