Bengaluru, India · Full time · Posted Feb 25, 2026
Who we are:
We are a start-up based out of Bengaluru & Delhi NCR. We are engaged in development of next generation missions and technologies (NGM&T) towards future warfare needs of the Indian defence forces. It is undertaking research towards enhancing persistence and autonomy for unmanned vehicles and robotic swarms. NRT’s product development portfolio includes air/ground launched stand-off autonomous systems, precision guidance kits and a solar power stratospheric high altitude pseudo satellite (HAPS) unmanned platform.
Roles and Responsibilities:
Start to finish ownership of power electronics/electrical power systems – design,
iterative prototype, validation, and production release.
Circuit Design (component sizing/selection, worst case analysis, simulations,
schematic capture) BOM generation, Coordination for layout design and Hardware
validation.
Collaborative work with software, thermal and manufacturing teams.
Establish scope and framework for standardization of integration processes and
common tools identification. Prepare associated documentation for company records
and design reviews.
Must have skills:
Strong hold on power supply design, power converters, analog & digital control,
MOSFETs/GaNs, gate driver circuitry, transformer/inductor design, etc.
Familiar with modeling & simulation tools such as Spice, MATLAB / Simulink, PSIM.
Familiar with usage of tools such as spectrum analyzer, power analyzer, oscilloscope, multi-meter, electronic loads/power supplies, etc
Good to have skills:
Familiar with Solar arrays, MPPTs, Li-ion batteries, Wiring Harness, etc.
Familiar with PCB Design tools such as Eagle/OrCad/Altium.
Familiar with failure mode effects and criticality analysis.
This role develops electrical power systems and power electronics from initial circuit design through prototype validation and production release. The work includes converter and control design, hardware testing, and coordination with software, thermal, and manufacturing teams for advanced autonomous and unmanned systems.

What you will likely work on
Take power electronics and electrical power systems from design through iterative prototyping, validation, and production release.
Design circuits, select and size components, and perform worst-case analysis and simulations.
Create schematics and bills of materials, and coordinate PCB layout and hardware validation.
Work with software, thermal, and manufacturing colleagues on system integration.
Define standard integration processes, identify common tools, and document them for records and design reviews.
Good fit signals
Has 2–4 years of relevant experience and a bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, power electronics, or an equivalent area.
Brings strong practical knowledge of power supplies, converters, control, switching devices, gate drivers, and magnetic components.
Can take circuit and hardware work through prototype testing toward production release.
Is comfortable coordinating engineering work across software, thermal, and manufacturing functions.
Familiarity with solar power, batteries, PCB design tools, or failure analysis is an added advantage.

Why work here
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.
