Mechatronics Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a Mechatronics Engineer with a background in Mechatronics or Electrical Engineering and an interest in electronics, embedded systems and automation.

The role focuses on developing, improving and automating the internal testing infrastructure we use for drone components and systems. You will work on test rigs, microcontrollers, sensors and automated data collection systems to make our testing more efficient, reliable and repeatable.

The role is based in Bengaluru and involves hands-on work with the engineering and testing teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop and improve automated testing infrastructure for drone systems and components.
• Automate existing testing setups, including battery discharge stations, motor test rigs and spray system testing racks.
• Develop microcontroller-based solutions for controlling and monitoring testing equipment.
• Work with platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and other microcontroller-based systems.
• Interface sensors and electronic components with test infrastructure.
• Develop systems for automated data collection, monitoring and recording during testing.
• Support the integration of hardware and software components in automated test setups.
• Identify opportunities to improve testing efficiency, accuracy and reliability.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to understand testing requirements and implement suitable solutions.
• Assist with electronics-related development activities, including PCB-related work where required.

Requirements

• B.Tech in Mechatronics Engineering or Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
• Approximately 1–2 years of relevant experience in electronics, embedded systems, automation or related engineering projects.
• Good understanding of microcontrollers, embedded systems and basic electronic systems.
• Practical exposure to Arduino, Raspberry Pi or similar development platforms.
• Knowledge of sensors, electronic components and hardware interfacing.
• Basic programming skills for microcontroller-based applications.
• Understanding of hardware automation and data acquisition.
• Ability to troubleshoot electronic and hardware-related issues.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• A hands-on approach to building, testing and improving engineering solutions.

Good to Have

• Exposure to automated testing systems or test rig development.
• Knowledge of PCB design and electronics development.
• Experience with sensor integration and automated data collection.
• A strong portfolio of independently developed hardware or automation projects.

Fresh graduates with strong hands-on project experience may also be considered, provided they can demonstrate practical knowledge, initiative and the ability to independently build and troubleshoot working systems.

Who Will Succeed in This Role

You will succeed if you like building things that work and fixing them when they do not. This role is ideal for someone who sees a manual, repetitive test and immediately thinks of how to automate it, and who can show a working project as proof.

Why Join SUIND?

At SUIND, you will work on technology that leaves the lab and operates in the real world.

Our drones are designed for environments that are complex, messy and high-value: farms, plantations, infrastructure sites, industrial assets and other places where reliable autonomous aerial systems can make a meaningful difference.

You will be part of a team building core autonomy, aerial robotics, embedded systems, field operations and manufacturing capability from India. The work is hard, interdisciplinary and deeply hands-on, and it is also meaningful.
