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.
