Job Description

Production Engineering
Navi Mumbai (On-Site)
Entry-level

Role Overview

This role is centred around

drone system automation, battery pack welding automation, and external collaboration projects

. The engineer will play a key role in the

Airbotix project

(manufacturing drones for partner companies) and in standardizing

battery spot welding automation

across multiple pack designs. The goal is to ensure consistency, compatibility, and scalability of automation systems in UAV manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities

1. Automation Solution Development

Design and implement

flight and systems simulation platforms

for UAV testing and validation. Develop

automatic payload calibration systems

to improve precision and reduce manual effort. Support

wind tunnel testing setups

to validate drone aerodynamics and performance. Lead automation efforts for the

Airbotix project

, ensuring partner drone manufacturing is efficient and repeatable. Develop

Battery Spot Welding Machine R&D

solutions: Engineer welding automation for consistent, high-quality cell connections. Standardize welding parameters across

all battery pack types

(18650, 21700, pouch cells, etc.). Ensure compatibility across UAV battery designs, with a focus on safety, reliability, and scalability.

2. Programming & Integration

Write and maintain programs in Python, C++, MATLAB/Simulink, SQL, or LabVIEW for drone and battery automation tasks. Configure robotics, controllers, and vision systems for welding, calibration, and drone testing. Integrate welding systems and drone testing platforms with MES/ERP for monitoring and traceability.

3. Validation & Testing

Perform extensive validation of flight simulators, payload calibration systems, and welding automation. Carry out

FMEA and RCA

to identify root causes of failures and implement preventive measures. Ensure compliance with ISO, IPC, aerospace, and

battery safety standards (UN38.3, IEC 62133, etc.)

.

4. Collaboration & Documentation

Work closely with Airbotix stakeholders, R&D, and engineering teams. Prepare SOPs, training manuals, and operator guidelines for automation tools. Delivering the project within timelines

Qualifications

B.E./B.Tech in Automation, Mechatronics, Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering 1-3 years' experience in automation, robotics, or drone/battery manufacturing systems. Hands-on exposure to

battery spot welding machines

or

pack assembly automation

preferred. Familiarity with Industry 4.0 concepts, IoT/IIoT integration, and industrial communication protocols.
