Founded in 2002, we unite 2,400+ tech-savvy professionals across 40+ countries, working on impactful projects for industry leaders and Fortune 500 companies. Our expertise spans cloud, data, AI/ML, embedded software, IoT, and more, driving digital transformation across finance, manufacturing, telecom, healthcare, and other industries.
Within our multidisciplinary engineering environment, we work on advanced autonomous and unmanned systems. Our R&D scope spans multirotor, fixed-wing, VTOL and lighter-than-air platforms, with a focus on guidance, navigation, control, perception and sensor integration. Engineers work alongside specialists in electronics, mechanics, embedded software, mathematics, CV/AI and signal processing to take solutions from modeling and simulation through integration and physical validation.
Responsibilities:
* Design and integrate advanced guidance, navigation and control (GNC) systems for different flight dynamics * Develop and validate control algorithms, state estimation, flight models and autonomous behaviors * Select and integrate flight controllers, radar, cameras, GNSS/INS, other sensors and onboard computing * Integrate CV/AI perception, tracking, localization, radar/DSP and multi-sensor fusion * Build simulation and emulation environments; perform SIL/HIL, hardware integration and field validation * Collaborate with hardware, mechanical, embedded, CV/AI, mathematics and signal-processing specialists.
Technical Skills:
* Programming: Python, Linux; C/C++ as required.Control & GNC: flight dynamics, PID/LQR/MPC, feedback control, trajectory planning, EKF/UKF, GNSS/INS * UAV platforms: PX4 or ArduPilot, MAVLink/MAVSDK; flight-controller and companion-computer integration * Sensors & signals: IMU, radar, GNSS, LiDAR, cameras, DSP, filtering and sensor fusion * Interfaces: CAN, UART, SPI, I²C, Ethernet, telemetry and diagnostics.
Additional Advantages:
* SLAM, VIO, RTK GNSS, radar principles (FMCW/Doppler), robust or adaptive control * NVIDIA Jetson, CUDA/TensorRT, embedded Linux/RTOS; Docker, CI/CD and cloud services * Perception & AI: OpenCV, object detection/tracking, PyTorch or TensorFlow, ONNX * Hands-on commissioning, tuning and flight testing of real unmanned platforms * Simulation: ROS 2, Gazebo or MATLAB/Simulink, SIL/SITL/HIL testing.
What We Expect:
* 4+ years in UAV, aerospace, embedded software or autonomous systems * Strong system-level understanding and practical software/hardware integration experience * Ability to evaluate alternatives, coordinate domain specialists and take solutions from concept to validated prototype * Independent R&D thinking, structured troubleshooting and technical English.
We offer*:
* Flexible working format - remote, office-based or flexible * A competitive salary and good compensation package * Personalized career growth * Professional development tools (mentorship program, tech talks and trainings, centers of excellence, and more) * Active tech communities with regular knowledge sharing * Education reimbursement * Memorable anniversary presents * Corporate events and team buildings * Other location-specific benefits
