What We Do

FlytBase is a Physical AI platform powering autonomous drones and robots worldwide. We’re building the operating system for the skies—unlocking the world’s third dimension with fully autonomous aerial systems. Our software and hardware integrations enable fleets to execute complex missions in oil fields, ports, warehouses, and other high-stakes environments—without human pilots.

The Role

As a Robotics Engineer in our Pune-based team, you’ll design, build, and deploy intelligent systems that power real-world drone autonomy. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role at the intersection of robotics, AI, and systems engineering—where you’ll go from concept to fleet deployment. You’ll work on technology that doesn’t just run in simulations—it flies in production environments across the globe.

What You'll Own

• Designing, developing, and testing high-reliability systems for autonomous drones and docking stations.

• Building scalable, production-grade software for live fleets.

• Leveraging AI to accelerate development, debug faster, and iterate smarter.

• Evaluating and integrating cutting-edge tech into real-world deployments.

• Influencing full-stack robotics architecture through first-principles thinking.

• Creating internal tools and automation pipelines to boost team velocity.

• Collaborating with AI, Cloud, and Product teams to deliver mission-ready solutions.

Best Suited For

• Engineers who’ve built real robotics systems (Robocon, e-Yantra, IMAV, AUVSI SUAS).

• Developers with ROS expertise who can orchestrate real robots—not just simulate them.

• Experience in multi-robot systems, control theory, SLAM, or motion planning.

• Strong foundations in multithreading, network protocols, and distributed systems.

• Familiarity with DevOps, CI/CD, and cloud deployments.

• People who’ve shipped production-grade robotics code and owned it end-to-end.

• Fast movers who see AI as a co-pilot, not a crutch.

What Makes You a Flyter

• Ownership without hand-holding: You run your projects from idea to deployment.

• High trust, high candor: You value sharp, direct feedback—both giving and receiving.

• Velocity over perfection: You’d rather test in the field this week than plan for months.

• Full-stack robotics execution: From firmware to cloud, you go where the problem is.

• Joy in complexity: You thrive on turning robotics chaos into elegant, autonomous solutions.

What We Don't Want

• Engineers who only work in simulation and avoid real-world deployment challenges.

• People who follow robotics “playbooks” instead of solving from first principles.

• Specialists who refuse to touch parts of the stack outside their comfort zone.

• Anyone who needs constant direction to move work forward.

• Folks who equate more hours with more progress instead of focusing on outcomes.

Why FlytBase?

Here, your work won’t gather dust in a lab—it will power drones flying in real industrial missions worldwide. You’ll join a team that values speed, autonomy, and experimentation over bureaucracy. You’ll have the freedom to design, test, and deploy technology that pioneers a brand-new global category.

The Perks

• Competitive compensation and performance-linked bonuses.

• AI-first development workflows with cutting-edge robotics tools.

• Flexible work hours with core collaboration at our Pune HQ.

• Direct impact on a product deployed in mission-critical environments globally.

• AI tools stack

• Unlimited paid time offs.
