About the role
About Kapxha Dynamics
Kapxha Dynamics is a DPIIT-recognized defense-tech startup based in Jaipur, building the autonomy and intelligence layer for UAVs and counter-drone systems. We are a small, fast-moving team working on real hardware that flies, not just code in a repo.
About the role
You will work closely with our R&D team to build, test and improve intelligent autonomous systems across UAVs and edge-computing platforms. The role involves hands-on work across C++/Python, computer vision, ArduPilot, MAVLink, embedded Linux and AI on edge devices.
What you will work on
- Develop and maintain software for Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson and other edge-computing platforms.
- Robot Operating System (ROS and ROS2) for autonomy software architecture and sensor fusion
- Embedded firmware development on microcontroller platforms such as STM32, ESP32, and Arduino
- Work with ArduPilot and MAVLink for vehicle control, telemetry and mission execution.
- Integration of GPS, IMU, LiDAR, and camera sensors for navigation and obstacle avoidance
- Computer vision for object detection and tracking
- Field testing and iteration on real UAV and robotics hardware
- SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and autonomous path-planning algorithms
- Real-time communication protocols (UART, CAN, I2C, SPI) between flight controllers and companion computers
- Power systems design and battery management for UAV platforms
- Deploying and optimizing ML models (TensorRT, ONNX) for real-time inference on edge devices
Who we are looking for
- 1 to 5 years of experience in robotics, embedded systems, UAV engineering, or computer vision, or a strong fresher with solid personal or academic project experience in these areas
- Hands-on experience building, flying, or testing drones, UAVs, or robotics hardware, not just coursework or simulation
- Strong fundamentals in C++ or Python for software and embedded roles
- Strong plus: ROS or ROS2, Pixhawk or ArduPilot, STM32 or ESP32
- Comfort working in a small team with high ownership and fast iteration
Location and compensation
- Location: Jaipur, Rajasthan (on-site)
- Employment type: Full-time
- Compensation: Depending on skills, experience and technical depth.
Why join us
You will work directly on hardware that matters for national defense capability, with direct ownership over what you build and a team that moves fast. This is a chance to build something real, early, in a high-growth deep-tech space.

Technical questions 5
What is the difference between WHERE and HAVING clauses in SQL? Answer
Model answer: WHERE filters rows before any groupings are applied, while HAVING filters aggregated groups after GROUP BY has executed.
Explain SQL Window functions: ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), and DENSE_RANK(). Answer
Model answer: ROW_NUMBER() assigns unique sequential integers. RANK() assigns identical ranks to ties and skips ranks. DENSE_RANK() assigns identical ranks to ties without skipping rank numbers.
How do you handle NULL and missing values during data cleaning in Python/Pandas? Answer
Model answer: Use .isna().sum() to identify missing values. Impute with mean/median using .fillna() or remove with .dropna(subset=[...]) depending on variance impact.
What is the difference between Star Schema and Snowflake Schema in Data Warehousing? Answer
Model answer: Star Schema has denormalized dimension tables directly connected to the central Fact table. Snowflake Schema normalizes dimension tables into sub-dimensions to minimize redundancy.
How do you calculate MoM (Month-over-Month) growth in SQL? Answer
Model answer: Use LAG(revenue, 1) OVER (ORDER BY month) to fetch the previous month's revenue and compute (revenue - prev_revenue) / prev_revenue * 100.
