We are looking for a C/C++ Software Engineer to join our R&D team focused on autopilot development and flight control systems.

You’ll work on embedded platforms, real-time control algorithms, and integration of flight dynamics models into our autonomous drones.

This is a full-time remote position.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain autopilot modules in C/C++.
• Implement control algorithms and integrate them with onboard systems.
• Work with CMake/make build environments and optimize embedded code performance.
• Design and test flight dynamics, kinematics, and control models.
• Apply signal-processing methods (FIR/IIR filters, averaging, sensor fusion).
• Collaborate with hardware and aerodynamics teams to tune flight performance.
• Conduct real-flight testing, analyze logs, and improve system stability.

Requirements:

• Solid knowledge and experience with C/C++, CMake, and make.
• Understanding of automatic control principles, mechanics, dynamics, and kinematics.
• Basic experience with signal processing (FIR/IIR filters, averaging, etc.).
• Proficiency in vector algebra and coordinate transformations.
• Familiarity with Kalman filters (sensor fusion, state estimation).
• Experience in embedded programming (ARMv7, Cortex-Mx).
• Knowledge of aerodynamics and real flight testing is a big plus.
• Experience with Ardupilot, Betaflight, or PX4 codebases is highly valued.
• Any personal attempts to build your own autopilot are an excellent advantage.

Nice to have:

• Experience with simulation tools (Gazebo, SITL).
• Knowledge of flight data logging and telemetry systems.
• Passion for drones, robotics, and open-source autopilot frameworks.

We offer:

• Competitive compensation.
• The opportunity to work with cutting-edge defence drone technologies.
• A chance to influence core flight software architecture.
• Collaboration with highly skilled engineers and test pilots.
• Real-world testing of your code in the air.
