About the role

What we offer

* 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

Your mission

* 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

Your profile

* 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

Nice to have

* 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

What else

* 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.
