Senior Robotics & Autonomy Engineer (Individual drone autonomy)

You’ll work at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and embedded systems, making sure each drone operates reliably and intelligently in GNSS-denied, EW-contested conditions.

• →

  Develop new features in core domains: navigation, flight control, sensor fusion, and photogrammetry.

• →

  Adapt existing algorithms to new challenges, such as new sensor types or path planning with additional constraints.

• →

  Turn R&D algorithms into production-ready solutions: find bottlenecks, handle edge cases gracefully, and make them reliable in the field.

• →

  Optimize onboard performance for latency, power consumption, and data throughput on a real-time, resource-constrained companion computer.

• →

  Build and maintain simulation environments and digital twins, and measurably close the gap between simulation and real flights.

• →

  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 in robotics or autonomy engineering, ideally with UAVs or mobile robots.

• 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 state estimation, path planning, or flight control algorithms.

• Practical knowledge of drone physics.

• PX4, ArduPilot, or another MAVLink flight stack.

• Basic computer vision or photogrammetry.

• Basic electronics: reading schematics, using a multimeter, debugging sensors and power.

• English at B2 level or higher.

Would be an advantage:

• Contributions to PX4 or ArduPilot, or custom firmware changes.

• Airframe integration: sensor calibration, tuning, flight controller setup.

• VIO, visual navigation, or navigation integrity in GNSS-denied conditions.

• Experience 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.

• 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.).
