Hardware Embedded Enginner

Teravolt Labs is building indigenous UAV electronics for India's drone and defense ecosystem — flight controllers, power systems, and CAN/MAVLink networking hardware, designed and sourced without reliance on PRC components. We work directly with Indian drone manufacturers and defense contractors on hardware that needs to be reliable, field-serviceable, and supply-chain secure.

We're looking for an embedded hardware engineer to join us in designing, building, and bringing up the next generation of our products.

What you'll work on

• Schematic and PCB design in KiCad for power electronics (buck converters, BECs, current sensing) and digital boards (STM32-based flight controllers, peripherals, sensor nodes)
• Firmware bring-up and debugging on STM32 (F4/G0/H7/L4 families) — bootloaders, peripheral drivers, DroneCAN/MAVLink stacks
• DroneCAN and MAVLink integration — designing nodes that publish/subscribe correctly within ArduPilot/PX4 ecosystems
• Component selection and sourcing decisions that respect our non-PRC supply chain constraints
• Hardware validation: bench testing, oscilloscope/probe work, thermal and electrical stress testing
• Collaborating directly with drone OEM clients to translate field requirements into hardware specs

What we're looking for

• 2–4 years of hands-on experience in embedded hardware design — schematic capture, PCB layout, and firmware bring-up
• Working knowledge of STM32 microcontrollers (or similar ARM Cortex-M parts)
• Familiarity with power electronics fundamentals (buck/boost topologies, current sensing, BEC design) is a strong plus
• Exposure to CAN bus protocols, DroneCAN, or MAVLink is a significant advantage
• Comfortable with KiCad or equivalent EDA tools
• Able to independently debug hardware issues — from bad solder joints to marginal component derating
• Based in or willing to relocate to Chandigarh

Why Teravolt Labs

• Build hardware that goes into real fielded systems, not prototypes that sit in a drawer
• Small team — your design decisions ship, fast, with direct ownership
• Work at the intersection of hardware sovereignty and UAV technology, a space that matters for India's defense manufacturing base
