Senior Robotics & Autonomy Engineer (Collaborative drone autonomy)

Your focus is multi-agent coordination: getting many drones to split tasks, stay out of each other’s way, and plan together in real battlefield conditions.

• →

  Build distributed onboard autonomy that runs in real time across several companion computers, under tight compute and link constraints.

• →

  Evolve our multi-agent algorithms (task allocation, deconfliction, collaborative path planning) to work with limited bandwidth, high latency, and packet loss.

• →

  Turn R&D algorithms into product-ready code: find bottlenecks, handle edge cases gracefully, and make behavior deterministic and fault-tolerant.

• →

  Optimize processing time, power consumption, and data flow.

• →

  Design resilient comms and coordination, including link-aware strategies and degraded-mode behavior when the link drops.

• →

  Build explainability for the swarm: intent and decision logs, human-readable reasoning traces, and post-flight analysis tools.

• →

  Own the simulation pipeline for your features: prepare digital twins, design multi-drone experiments, and close the gap between simulation and real flights in a measurable way.

• →

  Support field tests for your features: work with our test-range team, stay available online during flights, and travel to the test site occasionally.

• 4+ years building decision-making systems for robots or autonomous agents (planners, task allocation, behavior logic).

• Hands-on experience with multi-agent or multi-robot coordination.

• Strong Python on Linux. Experience with C/C++ and embedded systems is highly valued.

• Solid grounding in linear algebra, control theory, probability, and numerical methods.

• Hands-on experience with simulators and digital twins.

• English at B2 or higher.

Would be an advantage:

• You’ve contributed to ArduPilot or PX4, or modified flight firmware.

• You’ve built distributed systems that run on edge devices.

• You’ve worked in defense or EW-contested environments.

• You’ve built, flown, crashed, and debugged your own drones.

• A chance to shape the core autonomy and perception systems at the heart of Ukraine’s defense tech ecosystem and its international expansion.

• Professional growth through hands-on work with advanced UAV technologies and exposure to international best practices in autonomy, CV, and ML.

• Fast-paced, high-stakes environment where your contributions yield immediate, tangible impact on the frontline.

• Agile, highly skilled team driven by engineering rigor and mission-critical goals.

• Attractive compensation package including 20 paid vacation days, comprehensive health insurance, and paid sick leave.

• Flexible working arrangements depending on operational and security requirements.

• Benefits of the defense sector (military reservation, etc.).
