About Airbotix

Airbotix is pioneering advanced aerial platforms and autonomous systems for defense,

surveillance, and industrial applications. We develop cutting-edge solutions including

tethered aerostats, UAVs, and integrated command & control systems.

About the Role

We're seeking an experienced Electronics & Control Systems Engineer to lead the design

and the development of ground control infrastructure, automation systems, and electronics

integration across our product portfolio. You'll architect mission-critical control systems,

design electronics subsystems, and develop operator interfaces for 24/7 autonomous

operations.

This role spans multiple platforms, including tethered aerostats, UAV systems, and ground-

based command & control stations.

● Circuit design: Analog/digital circuits, sensor interfaces, motor controllers

● PCB design and prototyping for custom avionics and control boards

● Thermal management and environmental hardening for field deployment

● Cable harness design and connector selection.

Ground Control & Automation Systems

● SCADA/HMI architecture: Multi-display operator interfaces, alarm management, data logging

● Real-time control algorithms: PID tuning, automated sequences, state machine logic

● PLC/DCS programming: Ladder logic, structured text, safety interlocks

● Operational modes: Launch/recovery automation, emergency procedures, remote operations

Sensors & Instrumentation

● Required Sensor selection and integration

● Data acquisition systems: Sampling rates, filtering, calibration protocols

● Telemetry systems: Real-time monitoring, data recording (30+ days retention)

● Video systems: IP cameras, PTZ tracking, ground-based surveillance

Communications & Networking

● RF data links: Link budget analysis, frequency planning, antenna selection

● Serial protocols: RS-232/422/485, CAN bus, Modbus

● Ethernet networks: Industrial switches, VLANs, fiber optics

● Wireless systems: Wi-Fi, LTE/5G

Safety & Compliance

● Fail-safe system design and redundancy architecture

● Aviation compliance: Navigation lights, transponders, obstacle marking

● Lightning protection, grounding, and EMI/EMC design

● Safety standards: IEC 61508, DO-178C (awareness level)

Required Qualifications

Experience: 5-8 years in electronics design, control systems, or automation engineering

Must have hands-on experience in TWO of these domains:

1. Industrial Automation: SCADA/DCS systems, PLC programming, process control

2. Electronics Design: Power electronics, PCB design, embedded hardware, avionics

3. Control Systems: UAV/UAS ground stations, robotics, motion control, real-time systems

4. Instrumentation: Data acquisition, telemetry systems, sensor integration, test equipment.

Technical Skills (Core)

● PLCs: Siemens (TIA Portal), Rockwell (Studio 5000), or CODESYS

● HMI/SCADA: Wonderware, Ignition, WinCC, or similar

● Electronics: Circuit design, PCB layout (Altium/KiCAD), power systems

● Programming: C/C++, Python, or LabVIEW (Not Compulsory)

● Protocols: Modbus, Profinet, CAN bus, Ethernet/IP, RS-485

Nice to Have

● MATLAB/Simulink for modeling and simulation

● RF systems or wireless communication experience

● Military/aerospace standards knowledge (MIL-STD-810, DO-160)

● Embedded Linux or RTOS development

● Experience with renewable energy or backup power systems.

Ideal Candidate Background

● UAV/drone systems (autopilots, ground control stations)

● Industrial automation (manufacturing, oil & gas, power, water treatment)

● Aerospace/defense (avionics, test equipment, launch systems)

● Robotics or autonomous systems

● Renewable energy systems (solar trackers, wind monitoring)
