/ /3 вересня 2025Forward Deployed Drone/Robotics Engineer (С++)віддаленоJoin a fast-growing European deep-tech startup developing advanced autonomy and perception solutions for next-generation UAV systems. We're looking for a Forward Deployed Drone/Robotics Engineer to bring our autonomy software from the lab to the field.In this role, you will integrate and deploy autonomy algorithms across a wide range of UAV platforms - from agile FPV drones to large fixed-wing aircraft. Acting as the crucial link between our autonomy software and the drone systems, you'll work hands-on to ensure seamless integration and reliable performance in real-world environments.You'll collaborate with an international team of engineers and researchers across Europe, as well as local partners in Ukraine. Expect a dynamic mix of field testing, system integration, and close teamwork with both hardware and software specialists.Your responsibilities will include:
- Acting as a key member of the engineering team responsible for deploying autonomy solutions across diverse UAV platforms.
- Developing robust interfaces between autonomy algorithms and drone flight controllers.
- Integrating and testing full-stack autonomy solutions on partner platforms, often in close collaboration with partner engineering teams.
- Providing structured feedback to the autonomy development team, based on observations from field tests and operational flights.
- Traveling to partner sites to work on-site and ensure the solutions function reliably in demanding real-world conditions (“in the dirt”). You will mostly be working with our Ukrainian partners.
- Extensive experience of both Python and C++.
- Experience working with drone flight controllers such as Ardupilot, PX4, or Betaflight.
- Deep understanding of Docker, including experience with CUDA and Docker integrations.
- Familiar with NVIDIA Jetson architecture and deployment workflows.
- Proficient in working in a fully terminal-based Linux environment without reliance on GUIs, shell scripting for automation and deployment tasks, Linux file system and command-line tools, and debugging system-level issues using the Linux terminal.
- Solid understanding of UAV components and hardware, including battery management and practical electronics, with hands-on experience. Ideally you have built, flown, and debugged a drone yourself.
- A willingness to pick up and learn new concepts quickly and to self-acquire missing background knowledge.
- A high degree of autonomy, determination and grit in making cool tech work.
- Being comfortable travelling often and for extended durations (up to 3 weeks).
- Full time availability (40 hours).
- A valid driver's license.
- Competitive salary (level to be discussed individually based on interview results)
- 25 vacation days per year
- Reimbursed travel expenses and company laptop
- Working in an international, world-class team of engineers and entrepreneurs solving real-life problems with amazing technology.
- Large freedom in how you work and implement solutions, project ownership is incredibly important to us.
- The opportunity to take technical risks, to implement stuff the 'right' way and to iterate quickly with tight feedback loops. We are innovating, learning is to be expected.
- Responsibility over the things you implement, you are the expert on what you build.
- Reservation from mobilization.
