This Associate Director role is identified as project management. The posting provides no further detail about its scope, requirements, or day-to-day work.
NewSpace Research and Technologies (NRT) is a Bengaluru-based aerospace and defence R&D company developing autonomous and uncrewed systems for military and civilian missions. Its work spans persistent UAVs, High-Altitude Pseudo-Satellites, swarm robotics, collaborative combat aircraft, loitering systems, unmanned ground vehicles, GPS/GNSS-denied navigation and AI-enabled autonomy. Publicly identified users and collaborators include India's Ministry of Defence, Indian Army, Indian Navy, DRDO, National Disaster Response Force, Ministry of Home Affairs and Department of Telecommunications. Its programs combine aircraft design, robotics, sensor fusion, computer vision, machine learning and distributed autonomous systems for surveillance, communications, logistics and precision-mission applications.
NewSpace offers engineers direct exposure to aerospace and defence R&D involving autonomous UAVs, swarm robotics, GNSS-denied navigation, HAPS, computer vision, sensor fusion and AI at the edge. Current roles publicly reference C++, Python, ROS/ROS2, PX4, ArduPilot, PyTorch, OpenCV, CUDA, TensorRT, NVIDIA Jetson and Docker, indicating substantial hands-on work across software, hardware and flight systems. Its technology has been used in Indian defence programs, including DRDO's ULPGM-V3 trials, and the company is actively expanding its engineering workforce. Candidates should also consider the realities of a defence-focused growth company: many roles are onsite, programs can involve field deployments, and government procurement and long R&D cycles can create execution variability.
