Embedded Engineer

We are looking for a hands-on UAV Systems Integration Engineer to build and validate a reference hardware platform for an autonomous drone system.

You will work with commercially available FPV drone platforms, flight controllers, companion computers, and communication hardware to assemble a working prototype and integrate it with our autonomy software.

Responsibilities

• Assemble and configure a reference UAV hardware platform using existing components.
• Integrate flight controllers, companion computers such as NVIDIA Jetson, cameras, IMUs, and other required peripherals.
• Configure and troubleshoot autopilots such as PX4 or ArduPilot.
• Establish and validate interfaces between the flight controller, companion computer, and communication equipment.
• Work with vendor-provided fiber-optic communication hardware and integrate it into the platform.
• Configure Linux environments and support integration with ROS 2-based software.
• Diagnose hardware, power, connectivity, timing, and communication issues.
• Document hardware configurations, wiring, interfaces, and setup procedures.
• Run bench tests and controlled system validation, producing a repeatable setup for software development.

Required experience

• Hands-on experience assembling and integrating real UAVs or robotic platforms.
• Practical experience with PX4 or ArduPilot.
• Experience integrating companion computers with flight controllers.
• Familiarity with Linux, serial interfaces, USB, Ethernet, and hardware debugging.
• Ability to troubleshoot problems across hardware, firmware, and software interfaces.
• Experience taking a prototype from individual components to a working, documented system.

Nice to have

• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson or similar embedded computing platforms.
• Familiarity with ROS 2, MAVLink, and QGroundControl.
• Experience with FPV platforms and high-bandwidth communication systems.
• Experience with fiber-optic communication equipment.
• Basic Python or C++ skills for integration scripts and diagnostics.

What success looks like

You will deliver a documented, reproducible reference hardware platform that our software team can use to develop and validate mapping, localization, and autonomous mission execution.

Important: This is a hands-on hardware and systems integration role. We are not looking for a PCB designer or a firmware-only developer. The core requirement is practical experience integrating real UAV hardware and autopilots.
