Skills
Full description
- Work in an international, agile team creating the future of autonomous systems
- Grow your career in a expanding and ambitious engineering team
- Build innovative products using state-of-the-art technologies in AI, robotics, and autonomy
- Benefit from a steep learning curve and continuous development
- Enjoy team events and a strong, collaborative culture
- Design, build, and maintain core robotics software for autonomous UAV systems, from middleware to hardware bring-up
- Develop and maintain production-grade ROS 2 nodes, interfaces, and middleware using C++
- Integrate cameras, IMUs, GNSS, and vehicle systems into our autonomy stack
- Collaborate on the integration of core robotics software across sensing, navigation, and vehicle interfaces
- Deploy, package, and maintain software on NVIDIA Jetson and embedded Linux platforms
- Debug and optimize robotics software running on real UAV hardware
- Support flight tests through pre-flight preparation, on-site debugging, log analysis, and post-flight fixes
- Work closely with autonomy, perception, and platform engineers to deliver reliable end-to-end system integration
- Contribute to improving software reliability, deployment workflows, and maintainability across the robotics stack
- 3–6+ years of professional experience developing robotics or embedded software (strong senior candidates are encouraged to apply regardless of exact years)
- Strong professional experience developing with C++ (this is a C++-first role; Python-only backgrounds are not a fit)
- Experience with ROS 2, or comparable robotics/real-time middleware, deployed on real hardware
- Solid experience debugging software on Linux and embedded Linux systems
- Hands-on experience integrating sensors and robotic platforms
- Experience deploying production software onto embedded or robotic systems rather than simulation-only environments
- Experience using Git and collaborative software development workflows
- Willingness to support flight test campaigns in the field
- Experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms
- Experience integrating PX4, ArduPilot, MAVLink, or other flight control systems
- Experience with camera calibration, sensor synchronization, or video pipelines
- Experience with software packaging and deployment (Docker, Snap, OTA, Nix)
- Familiarity with UAVs, autonomous vehicles, or robotics perception systems
- Outside-the-box creativity with a blend of conceptual and systematic design thinking.
- High intrinsic motivation, attention to detail, and strong problem-solving mindset.
- Structured, methodical, and reliable execution, even under uncertainty.
- Humble, collaborative, and mission-driven — values collective success over ego.
- High ethical standards and disciplined work ethic.
- Extra-curricular achievements, leadership, or unique projects are a plus.
- NATO-aligned nationality or close ally citizenship is required.
