Embedded Systems & Edge AI Engineer

About Sekrop Innovations

Sekrop Innovations is an Indian deep-tech startup building Kavach, an AI-powered wildlife intrusion detection and deterrence system designed to protect agricultural fields using edge artificial intelligence. The system integrates computer vision, embedded systems, solar power, and IoT connectivity to operate autonomously in harsh rural and forest-edge environments.

The company is supported by leading research and incubation institutions and has received funding support under Government of India innovation programs.

Role Overview:

Sekrop Innovations is looking for an experienced Embedded Systems & Edge AI Engineer who can take ownership of hardware reliability, system integration, and edge AI deployment for field-grade production devices. This is not a lab-only role - the selected candidate will work on real-world deployments in demanding environmental conditions, including heat, dust, humidity, and intermittent connectivity.

The engineer will be responsible for transforming prototype-stage hardware into research-grade, robust, field-ready systems capable of long-term autonomous operation. The role requires strong debugging capability, practical design thinking, and hands-on experience with embedded Linux systems and AI accelerators.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead embedded hardware stabilization and system hardening efforts
• Optimize Raspberry Pi + Hailo AI accelerator integration

• Improve PCB design, signal integrity, and power regulation systems
• Design thermal management solutions for high-temperature environments
• Implement watchdog systems, auto-recovery mechanisms, and fail-safe operations
• Optimize battery management and solar charging systems
• Conduct root-cause failure analysis from field deployments
• Support AI team in optimizing inference latency and edge performance
• Prepare systems for scalability and manufacturability

Required Skills:

• 2+ years of experience in embedded systems development
• Strong experience with Embedded Linux and ARM-based systems
• Hands-on debugging experience with hardware failures
• Experience with power electronics and battery systems
• Experience deploying AI models on edge hardware

  Proficiency in C/C++ and Python for hardware control
• Strong understanding of system-level troubleshooting

Preferred Skills (Good to Have):

• Experience with Hailo, NVIDIA Jetson, or similar AI accelerators
• Experience designing for outdoor or industrial environments
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC and environmental testing standards
• Experience in PCB design tools (Altium, KiCad, etc.)
• Prior work in IoT, robotics, or field-deployed systems

Why Join Sekrop Innovations:

This role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of AI, embedded systems, agriculture, and wildlife conservation. The selected engineer will directly contribute to building a scalable, field-impact product addressing human-wildlife conflict in India and beyond.

If you are passionate about building rugged, real-world AI systems and want to work on technology that creates measurable rural impact, this role offers both technical depth and meaningful purpose.
