We are developing next-generation autonomy systems used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. If you’re passionate about embedded systems and aerospace-grade innovation, this is your chance to work on something truly impactful.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Design, develop, and optimize embedded software for flight control, navigation, and mission execution
  • Integrate sensor data (GNSS, IMU, visual, etc.) for robust real-time decision making
  • Collaborate closely with the hardware and avionics teams to ensure seamless integration between software and electronics
  • Implement safety-critical logic, fail-safes, and redundancy protocols
  • Conduct simulations, HIL testing, and in-field debugging of flight software
  • Optimize performance for constrained environments (limited power, compute, memory)
  • Participate in system architecture discussions and contribute to future design iterations

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • 3+ years of experience in embedded software development (C/C++)
  • Deep understanding of microcontrollers (ARM Cortex series or similar) and RTOS-based systems
  • Experience with low-level communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN)
  • Strong debugging and hardware bring-up skills
  • Familiarity with navigation systems (GNSS, INS) and sensor integration
  • Proficiency in working with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and version control best practices
  • Ability to work in fast-paced, mission-driven teams

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Experience with PX4/ArduPilot/Betaflight/iNav or other UAV flight stacks
  • Familiarity with AI-based navigation or computer vision techniques
  • Knowledge of power management and energy-efficient embedded design
  • Military or aerospace project experience is a plus

WHAT WE OFFER

  • The opportunity to shape a mission-critical defense technology from the ground up
  • Be part of a compact, elite engineering team with full-cycle product ownership
  • A fast-paced result-oriented culture where decisions are driven by data and results
  • Competitive compensation
  • Access to field testing, prototyping labs, and autonomy in solving complex problems
  • Direct impact on Ukraine’s national security and technological edge
