Instrumentation Engineer

Department: Avionics – Instrumentation & Control (I&C)
Location: Hyderabad (Shamshabad, Near Airport)
Experience: 2+ years
Job Description:
As an Instrumentation Engineer in I&C-GRP-2, you will contribute to the design, integration, and testing of flight and ground instrumentation systems for aerospace vehicles. You will work with high fidelity sensors, data acquisition systems and telemetry interfaces to ensure reliable measurement and validation of critical flight parameters during various ground testing.
Roles & Responsibilities:
Support instrumentation architecture and implementation across flight vehicles and ground test systems.
Assist in selecting appropriate sensors (temperature, pressure, strain, vibration, etc.) based on system requirements.
Contribute to sensor mounting, wiring, shielding, and grounding practices.
Work on signal conditioning, calibration, and interface circuitry to maintain signal integrity.
Integrate sensors with data acquisition systems (DAQ) such as NI, HBM, Beckhoff, and Dewesoft etc.
Support telemetry sensor mapping, wiring harness documentation, and BOM preparation.
Collaborate with GNC, propulsion, structures, thermal, and avionics teams for instrumentation planning.
Participate in environmental and functional tests (thermal, vibration, EMI/EMC).
Assist in pre-flight checkout and health monitoring of instrumentation systems.
Follow aerospace standards and safety practices during instrumentation activities.
Coordinate with vendors for sensor procurement, calibration, and qualification.
Lead and mentor a team of instrumentation engineers and technicians; conduct design reviews and audits.
Skills Required:
1. Technical Skills:
Knowledge of aerospace-grade sensors (thermocouples, RTDs, pressure transducers, accelerometers, strain gauges, etc.).
Understanding of signal conditioning, filtering, and analog/digital interfacing.
Ability to read and prepare wiring diagrams and instrumentation layouts.
Familiarity with DAQ systems like NI PXI, NI CompactDAQ, Dewesoft, HBM QuantumX/PMX/Genesis, LabJack, etc.
Good understanding of calibration techniques and error analysis.
Exposure to telemetry systems, sensor-to-TM channel mapping.
Awareness of aerospace standards such as DO-160, MIL-STD-461, DO-178.
(Secondary Requirement – Added Advantage) Good understanding and debugging skills in LabVIEW, MATLAB, and embedded software systems.
2. Soft Skills:
Strong problem-solving and analytical mindset.
Ability to work in cross-functional teams.
Effective communication and documentation skills
Detail-oriented with strong execution discipline.
