Autonomy 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
