Integration Software Engineer

We are looking for an Integration Software Engineer to join Occam — a European VC-backed defense tech startup building an autonomous AI pilot for drone systems. The company is already integrating its solution with Ukrainian drone manufacturers (OEMs), and by the end of April the potential scale of platforms the system can run on is expected to reach up to 120,000 systems per month. This role is for someone who wants to work with real drone platforms, manufacturers, and real-world deployments, rather than laboratory prototypes.

The Role

We are hiring Integration Software Engineers who will work directly with drone manufacturers to integrate Occam’s software onto different drone platforms.

Each engineer will own integrations with specific OEM partners — understanding their hardware, supply chain, and drone configurations, and ensuring the Occam system runs reliably on their platforms.

This role is highly hands-on and requires engineers who can quickly diagnose real-world issues and make systems work across different hardware setups.

You will work closely with drone manufacturers, engineers, and the Occam team to ensure systems are deployed successfully to the front lines.

What You’ll Do

  • Work directly with drone manufacturers (OEMs) to integrate Occam software into their drone platforms
  • Understand hardware configurations, sensors, cameras, and supply chain variations across platforms
  • Configure and adapt the software stack for specific drone models
  • Diagnose and solve integration issues in real environments
  • Test systems on drones and ensure reliable operation
  • Create configuration profiles for different hardware setups
  • Collaborate with OEM engineers to adjust both software and hardware when necessary
  • Support deployments that will be used in real combat conditions

Typical integration challenges include:

  • camera configuration and image feed compatibility
  • sensor alignment and calibration
  • hardware variations between drone models
  • electromagnetic interference from components
  • adapting systems to different drone architectures

Tech Stack

  • Python
  • C / C++ 
  • Linux (application level)
  • Camera systems and video feeds
  • Edge AI deployment

Familiarity with the following is helpful but not required:

  • drone systems
  • FPV platforms
  • Ardupilot
  • robotics systems
  • embedded systems

What We’re Looking For

This role is less about years of experience and more about the ability to solve real problems independently.

You might be a great fit if you:

  • are comfortable debugging real hardware systems
  • can work independently without constant direction
  • enjoy solving messy real-world engineering problems
  • communicate well with both engineers and non-technical partners
