Aircraft Controls, UAV Electrical Integration and Product Reliability
Experience in UAV/MALE aircraft control laws, PID tuning, EKF estimation, wiring harness design, BLDC selection, system architecture and MIL/SIL/HIL robustness testing.
Summary
At TATA Advanced Systems, I worked on small UAVs, VTOL concepts and large airborne systems. My responsibilities combined controls, electrical integration, architecture design and reliability improvement.
Key contributions
- Developed autopilot control laws and system architecture for Medium Altitude Long Endurance aircraft.
- Designed and tuned PID controllers to improve stability characteristics of small UAVs and aircraft.
- Formulated EKF logic for altitude estimation and camera-gimbal stabilization improvements.
- Supported MIL/SIL/HIL testing for robustness of control strategy.
- Worked on BLDC motor selection, endurance estimation, loss calculation, wire and connector selection.
- Created BOM, LRU interface architecture, wiring schematic and routing design for UAVs and gimbals.
- Worked on EMI/EMC-qualified electrical wiring harness for MALE UAV.
Awards and recognition
Received Star of the Month for the Invisible UAV prototype work and contributed to an i-VTOL UAV team that received a Best Team award.
Recruiter takeaway
This experience shows a rare cross-functional mix: control laws, embedded/electrical integration, system architecture and practical UAV product engineering.
