About the company and the role

At Lendurai , we enable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to operate independently of global navigation satellite systems and radio control, using computer vision and machine learning. We partner with multiple UAV manufacturers to deliver cost effective capabilities to public sector and defence customers. Our core team has substantial experience in aerospace engineering and developing computer vision applications across Europe, including at companies like Bolt (EE), Open Cosmos (UK), and Starship Technologies (EE).

As a Flight Platform Engineer you will own the practical “make it work in the real world” layer: hardware integration, flight platform reliability, and rapid field iteration. This role is for someone who can independently diagnose and solve integration issues – from wiring and RF troubleshooting to flight tuning and telemetry analysis – and who enjoys turning messy prototypes into dependable systems.

What you will be doing

• Integrate compute, sensors, radios, and payloads onto multirotor UAVs; maintain build quality and configuration control.

We are looking for

Required:

• At least bachelor’s degree in mechatronics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering, aerospace engineering, or similar.
• Hands-on engineering: soldering, wiring, connectors, multimeter-based troubleshooting.
• 3D printing + basic CAD for rapid integration.
• Learns from manuals/specs (not ChatGPT/YouTube) and works independently.
• PX4/QGC/MAVLink ground-station + log tooling; flight log analysis in spreadsheets; basic scripting for repeatable analysis.

Nice to have:

• Manual/acro flight experience.
• RF diagnostics experience; familiarity with EW constraints.
• Military service history.

What we offer

• Monthly gross salary €3,000-5,000 based on experience and impact
• Ability to influence major technical decisions as an early hire
• A focus on outcomes
• Freedom of working in nature

Join Lendurai to be part of the forefront of defence technology innovation.
