Hardware Robotics R&D Engineer (0-2 Yrs Exp) - Mechatronics, 3D Design, ROS 2

Role : Full Time, Onsite (Bangalore)

Experience Required : upto 2 Yrs professional working experience

(only for candidates looking for full time role and have relevant required experience)

Must Have Hands-on Skills (do not apply if you dont have the below skills, resume will not been reviewed)

1. Mechanical + Core Electronics
2. At least 100+ hours of 3D Design (Fusion preferably) & 3D Printing (FDM) experience
3. IOT and Embedded (Arduino & Sensors, STM boards, LoRA, GSM/GPS, IMUs etc)
4. Hands-on knowledge of ROS2, Gazebo, URDF (must have built some working robotic/ mechatronic prototype hardware - not just simulation)

Good To Have Skills

1. Hands-on experience with flight controllers, Power distribution boards, battery management system
2. Advanced fabrication skills like CNC machining (3-axis or 5-axis) Sheet metal forming Carbon fiber composite fabrication

Key Responsibilities (Research & Development - Engineering) :

1. Mechatronics R&D & Rapid Prototyping

• Assist in the design and development of robotic systems (bipedal robots, manipulators, ornithopters, bionics).
• Hands-on experience in Core electronics, embedded systems and firmware development (STM32, ESP32, IOT Sensors)
• Assist in wiring, testing, and integrating microcontrollers, power systems, drivers, and sensors.
• 2 and 3 Layer PCB prototyping skills (EasyEDA or KiKad)
• Using 3D Design and 3D Printing skills for rapid prototype development

2. Robotics, Control Systems and Simulation

• Implement and tune PID and model-based controllers for robotic actuation.
• Work with simulators such as Gazebo, Webots, Isaac Sim, or custom simulation environments.
• Perform kinematic, dynamic, and structural analysis to validate designs.
• Implement ROS1/ROS2 nodes, topics, services, and actions.
• Integrate sensors (IMUs, encoders, force sensors, cameras) and actuators (servos, BLDCs, ESCs, linear actuators).
• Develop URDF/SRDF models and integrate them into simulation.

3. Impact - Make In India, Viksit Bharat Mission, Future Innovators

• All GiftdMinds Engineers dedicate 15-20% of time and effort mentoring some of the brightest young minds - GiftdMinds students (age 10-15yrs) with hands-on advanced R&D research and practical skill development in the field of Space-Tech, UAVs, Mechatronics, Robotics, EVs and beyond.

This is what well be building at GiftdMinds currently. The selected candidate will be working on one of these based on his/her skill-set level, hands-on experience and knowledge depth.

• 1. In house 3DPrinter with 3D Laser cutting swappable rig
• 2. 12 inch, collapsible, Dobsonian Telescope with automated star tracker
• 3. RC Plane with FPV + Head tracking camera control
• 4. Autonomous Unmanned Underwater Vehicle UUV / ROV (Submarine) and Swarm Drones
• 5. A Disney BDX droid like bipedal Robot
• 6. A solid motor amateur (COTS and SRAD), sounding Rocket with target apogee of 10Kms
• 7. A Radio and Satellite communication Ground station for HAM Radio, geo-stationary, FM satellites, International Space Station (ISS) and Radio Astronomy
