• 5+ years of embedded software development experience
• Strong proficiency with C/C++, Python, and Rust
• Familiarity with PX4, Ardupilot, or similar
• US Citizenship required and ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance

Responsibilities

• Develop embedded software for fixed wing and multi-rotor UAVs
• Develop new software functionality for autonomous UAV flight by modifying PX4 autopilot
• Integrate autonomy algorithms into UAV flight software, migrating from Python to C/C++
• Update and execute simulation software to test novel algorithms
• Support flight tests including setup, system checkouts, ground station operation, and log analysis
