Head – UAV Product Development & Manufacturing

Robridge, a part of Rajalakshmi Group, is building the next generation of autonomous systems from India. Our vision is to design and manufacture world-class drones, AI-powered surveillance platforms, robotics, intelligent sensors, and autonomous technologies that solve real-world problems across security, infrastructure, industrial inspection, agriculture, and smart cities.

Our first flagship product is an AI-enabled autonomous surveillance drone, and we are looking for exceptional engineers who are passionate about building products that can compete on the global stage.

If you love creating, innovating, and turning ideas into world-class products, we’d love to hear from you.

The Opportunity

This is a unique opportunity to join at the ground floor of a fast-growing deep-tech company and lead the journey from prototype to commercial manufacturing. You will work alongside a multidisciplinary team of engineers, AI specialists, embedded system developers, and product designers to build next-generation UAV platforms.

This is not a maintenance role. This is a creation role.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the transition from engineering prototypes to production-ready UAV products.
• Own product engineering, manufacturing readiness, and design for manufacturability (DFM).
• Develop assembly, testing, calibration, and quality assurance processes.
• Build and manage the vendor ecosystem and supply chain for UAV components.
• Improve product reliability, maintainability, and field serviceability.
• Lead system integration, flight validation, and production testing.
• Drive DGCA certification and regulatory compliance.
• Build engineering documentation, quality systems, and manufacturing standards.
• Mentor and lead a multidisciplinary engineering team.
• Define the technology roadmap for Robridge’s autonomous systems portfolio.

Desired Experience

• 2+ years of experience in UAVs, aerospace, robotics, autonomous systems, or advanced electronics manufacturing.
• Proven experience taking UAV or robotics products from prototype to commercial production.
• Strong knowledge of:
• Flight controllers (PX4, ArduPilot, Pixhawk)
• Embedded systems
• UAV propulsion and power systems
• Payload integration
• Product testing and validation
• Manufacturing processes and quality systems
• Experience with DGCA regulations or UAV certification is an advantage.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for builders.

People who are excited by difficult engineering challenges, enjoy working in fast-moving environments, and believe India can build globally competitive autonomous products.

You should be someone who:

• Loves building more than managing.
• Thinks like an entrepreneur.
• Is hands-on and comfortable solving problems on the workshop floor.
• Enjoys mentoring young engineers and multidisciplinary teams.
• Wants to create products that have real impact.

Why Join Robridge?

At Robridge, you won’t just be joining a company—you’ll be helping build one.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape products from concept to commercialization, influence technology decisions from day one, and work on cutting-edge autonomous systems that have the potential to make a global impact.

If you’re passionate about creating the future of autonomous technology, we’d love to hear from you.
