Prototype Engineer

Role & responsibilities

• Design and develop functional prototypes involving mechanical systems, embedded electronics, controls, and integrated assemblies
• Take systems from the concept stage through prototyping, testing, validation, and iterative refinement
• Work across CAD modelling, fabrication workflows, PCB integration, embedded systems, assembly, and system-level debugging
• Participate in field testing and performance validation under operational constraints
• Collaborate with manufacturing partners, workshops, and internal engineering teams to accelerate development cycles
• Contribute to the development of experimental systems, deployable technologies, and patentable intellectual property

Preferred candidate profile

• B.E./B.Tech or M.Tech in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Robotics, Mechatronics, Production or related fields
• 1-3 years of experience in prototyping, manufacturing, systems integration or product development
• Experience with some of: SolidWorks / Fusion 360 / CATIA, CNC / 3D printing / laser cutting, ESP32 / STM32 / Arduino / Raspberry Pi, KiCad / Altium, Python / Embedded C
• You do not need experience in all of the above. Strong fundamentals and practical problem-solving matter more
• Hands-on projects or prototypes beyond academic coursework are a big plus
• Clear technical communication and documentation skills

Perks and benefits

• Work on real defence and deployable technology projects with high technical ownership
• Exposure to the full prototype lifecycle, from concept to field testing
• Opportunity to contribute to patentable innovations at a company holding 154+ patents
• Direct learning from the senior engineering and leadership team
