Senior Defence Systems Engineer

About Dusker Dynamics
Dusker Dynamics is a defence technology company focused on developing advanced defence and security systems designed to anticipate, adapt to, and counter emerging threats. Our work combines rigorous engineering, multidisciplinary system design, rapid experimentation, and real-world deployment.
At Dusker Dynamics, engineers work on complex, mission-critical systems where precision, reliability, safety, performance, and operational effectiveness are central to every engineering decision.
We are building a team of engineers who want to solve difficult defence engineering problems and contribute to the development of next-generation indigenous defence technologies.
About the Role
Dusker Dynamics is looking for a highly experienced Senior Defence Systems Engineer to lead the architecture, integration, verification, and validation of advanced defence systems.
This is a senior technical role responsible for translating operational requirements into complete system architectures and ensuring successful integration across hardware, electronics, embedded systems, software, sensors, communication systems, control systems, and mechanical subsystems.
The engineer will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, customers, suppliers, technical partners, and defence stakeholders throughout the complete product-development lifecycle.
The ideal candidate has strong experience in defence, aerospace, military systems, autonomous platforms, avionics, radar, electronic warfare, missile systems, unmanned systems, or other high-reliability engineering environments.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the end-to-end systems engineering lifecycle, from concept development and requirements definition to system integration, qualification, validation, and deployment.
Translate operational and customer requirements into clear system-level technical requirements and engineering specifications.
Develop and maintain system architectures, subsystem definitions, interfaces, functional architectures, and technical baselines.
Lead multidisciplinary integration involving mechanical systems, electronics, embedded software, sensors, actuators, communication systems, control systems, navigation systems, and real-time computing platforms.
Perform system-level trade studies, feasibility studies, performance analysis, risk analysis, and technical decision-making.
Define and manage Interface Control Documents (ICDs) between subsystems and external platforms.
Establish verification and validation strategies for complex defence systems.
Develop and review test plans, qualification procedures, acceptance criteria, verification matrices, and system validation documentation.
Support prototype development, laboratory testing, environmental qualification, field trials, and system acceptance testing.
Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of complex system-level failures.
Participate in and lead major engineering reviews including:
System Requirements Review (SRR)
Preliminary Design Review (PDR)
Critical Design Review (CDR)
Test Readiness Review (TRR)
Qualification and Acceptance Reviews
Ensure compliance with applicable defence, aerospace, reliability, safety, environmental, electromagnetic compatibility, and engineering standards.
Work closely with program managers to identify technical risks, schedule dependencies, integration challenges, and mitigation strategies.
Review engineering documentation and ensure strong configuration management and technical traceability.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers.
Coordinate technical activities with vendors, suppliers, OEMs, laboratories, research institutions, and technology partners.
Support customer discussions, technical presentations, design reviews, demonstrations, and defence trials.
Contribute to the development of reusable engineering processes, design standards, testing frameworks, and internal systems-engineering practices.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master's degree in:
Systems Engineering
Aerospace Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Electronics & Communication Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Mechatronics
Robotics
Control Systems
Avionics
or a closely related engineering discipline.

Strong practical experience in:
Systems Engineering
Requirements Engineering
System Architecture
System Integration
Verification & Validation
Qualification Testing
Technical Documentation
Experience working with multidisciplinary engineering systems involving both hardware and software.
Strong understanding of embedded systems, sensors, actuators, communication interfaces, real-time systems, control systems, and system integration.
Experience developing and maintaining technical documentation including:
System Requirement Specifications
Interface Control Documents
System Architecture Documents
Verification & Validation Plans
Requirements Traceability Matrices
Test Procedures
Qualification Reports
Engineering Change Documentation
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and engineering problem-solving capabilities.
Experience conducting design reviews and making technical decisions across complex engineering programs.
Strong written and verbal technical communication skills.
Ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Ability to work full-time and on-site in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
Ability to handle sensitive and confidential technical information responsibly.
Preferred Qualifications
Master's degree (M.Tech/M.E./M.S.) in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, Control Systems, or a related field.
8–12+ years of experience working on complex defence, aerospace, or mission-critical systems.
Previous experience with:
Defence R&D organizations
Defence OEMs
Aerospace companies
Defence PSUs
Armed Forces programs
Government defence agencies
Strategic technology programs
Experience with systems such as:
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs)
Autonomous Defence Platforms
Radar Systems
Electronic Warfare Systems
Missile or Guidance Systems
Avionics
Military Communication Systems
Electro-Optical / Infrared Systems
Navigation Systems
Surveillance Systems
Command-and-Control Systems
Strong knowledge of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and methodologies such as SysML.
Experience with engineering tools such as:
MATLAB / Simulink
IBM DOORS
Cameo Systems Modeler
Enterprise Architect
Ansys
LabVIEW
Jira / Confluence
or equivalent engineering and lifecycle-management tools.
Familiarity with defence and aerospace qualification standards, environmental testing, reliability engineering, functional safety, EMC/EMI testing, and configuration management.
Understanding of communication protocols and interfaces commonly used in aerospace and defence systems.
Experience with system-level reliability techniques such as:
FMEA / FMECA
Fault Tree Analysis
Reliability Analysis
Hazard Analysis
Risk Assessment
Familiarity with cybersecurity and secure system-design principles for mission-critical systems.
Experience working directly with customers, defence users, technical authorities, program managers, and government stakeholders.
Previous ownership of a complete system, major subsystem, platform, or defence engineering program.
Experience supporting field trials, demonstrations, qualification campaigns, or operational deployment.
Relevant patents, technical publications, defence product development experience, or successfully deployed systems will be an advantage.
Familiarity with the Indian defence ecosystem, indigenous defence development programs, defence procurement processes, testing agencies, certification requirements, and defence manufacturing environment will be highly valued.
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for engineers who are comfortable taking ownership of complex technical problems rather than working within narrowly defined boundaries.
The ideal candidate should be capable of moving between system-level thinking and detailed engineering, identifying technical risks early, challenging assumptions, and making engineering decisions based on evidence, testing, and operational requirements.
You should be comfortable working in an environment where systems are developed iteratively, tested rigorously, and continuously improved.
