Job Summary
We are seeking an engineer to develop and deploy autonomy capabilities on UAV platforms using PX4 or ArduPilot. This role involves modifying autopilot firmware, integrating sensors and payloads, and validating autonomous behaviors through real-world flight testing. The engineer will work across the full UAV stack—from embedded flight software to mission logic and system integration—while maintaining a strong focus on reliability and practical field performance.
This position requires someone who enjoys both software development and hands-on hardware work. The ideal candidate is comfortable debugging complex systems, flying test platforms, and taking ownership of projects from concept through field validation.
