Autonomy & Robotics Software Engineer

What we’re looking for

• 0–3 years of experience in robotics, autonomy, or software engineering; exceptional new graduates are welcome

• Strong foundations in computer science, software engineering, and system-level thinking

• Proficiency in C++ (core development) and Python (tools, prototyping)

• Solid understanding of robotics and autonomy fundamentals (navigation, estimation, control concepts)

• Hands-on mindset: comfortable turning ambiguous requirements into working, testable software

The day-to-day

• Develop and maintain UAV autonomy software, including mission logic, navigation, safety concepts, and fallback behaviors

• Integrate autonomy software with autopilot stacks (e.g. PX4 / ArduPilot), telemetry, commands, and health monitoring

• Contribute to core robotics building blocks such as planning/control interfaces, coordinate frames, and timing

• Build production-grade software and supporting tooling, tests, and simulation/HIL infrastructure

• Support system integration to ensure predictable behavior across real-world flight conditions

You should apply if you

• Want to build and ship software that runs on real autonomous vehicles, not just simulations or demos

• Enjoy working across domains: autonomy, systems integration, and basic perception

• Are comfortable learning fast, iterating from real test data, and improving systems based on field feedback

• Take ownership, communicate clearly, and document your work well

• Thrive in a hands-on, fast-moving engineering environment with high standards

Nice to haves

• Experience with UAVs, autopilots, or tooling such as PX4, ArduPilot, MAVLink, or QGroundControl

• Familiarity with ROS 2, simulation environments, or SITL/HIL workflows

• Basic perception experience (e.g. OpenCV pipelines, simple ML models, sensor data processing)

• Exposure to DevOps or tooling such as Docker, CI/CD, or reproducible builds

• Understanding of hardware, electronics, and sensors used in robotic systems

What we offer

• A high-impact role working on autonomous UAV systems that ship and fly

• Close mentorship from experienced robotics and autonomy engineers

• Strong learning curve across autonomy, systems, and real-world integration

• Flexible working setup with limited remote options and relocation support for top candidates

• A focused, engineering-driven environment with real ownership and responsibility
