Design and implement autopilot firmware components in C/C++ (RTOS / bare-metal / embedded Linux where applicable), focusing on safety, determinism, and performance.
Develop and maintain low-level drivers and interfaces for sensors and peripherals (e.g., IMU, GNSS, barometer, magnetometer, range sensors; PWM/CAN/UART/SPI/I2C).
Own the debug & verification loop: create test plans, write unit/integration tests, analyze flight logs/telemetry, and drive root-cause analysis through to fix and validation.
Collaborate tightly with systems, autonomy, and hardware teams to integrate new sensors/compute platforms, support bring-up, and improve flight robustness across real customer environments.
Improve engineering excellence: contribute to coding standards, CI/CD for firmware, release readiness, and clear technical documentation for long-term maintainability.

Fluent C/C++ skills with hands-on embedded development experience (RTOS, drivers, performance tuning, debugging).
Solid understanding of embedded systems fundamentals (interrupts, timing, concurrency, memory constraints, hardware interfaces).
Experience with drones, robotics, or safety-critical control systems, including practical exposure to logs/telemetry-driven debugging.
3–5 years of relevant professional experience in embedded firmware development.
Fluent English (written and spoken).
Familiarity with PX4/ArduPilot, MAVLink/MAVSDK, or similar robotics middleware and protocols.
Experience with sensor calibration, navigation/estimation concepts, or flight-control related subsystems.
Exposure to embedded Linux bring-up, device trees, or kernel/user-space interfaces.
Security-minded development (secure boot concepts, signing, basic crypto hygiene).
Willingness to travel occasionally to support integration and flight test activities.
