Design, develop, build, and test software solutions to a unique set of problems. Join a small team and make a huge impact tackling new challenges in aerospace by developing software that enables autonomous flight, responses in dynamic missions, and streaming of information to the operators.
The role will focus on developing real-time control solutions in C++, web services for information distribution, embedded programs for subsystem control, and more.
Responsibilities
Push your limits in a fast paced, diverse software engineering role; solving problems across multiple disciplines to develop fully featured commercial solutions. You will be designing and building software solutions for cutting-edge UAS technology that empowers new applications, pushing the boundaries of what our customers think is possible. We are looking for someone who is flexible and adaptable in their role and keen to learn on the job soaking up new expertise and implementing it in real time.
The role will focus on several software problems, including developing applications in C++ for UAS control, writing applications for data storage and processing, researching and developing secure data links locally and over the internet.
Some examples of the problems you will be solving are:
* Developing flight control systems running on the edge.
* Developing infrastructure for storing and presenting data.
* Developing user facing software to communicate with UAS.
We are looking for a keen problem-solving ability and general familiarity with software development. If any of these challenges sound intriguing, regardless of experience, please apply!
Your responsibilities are:
* Design and develop C++ applications for UAS control and autonomy.
* Create infrastructure for data storage, processing, and secure communication.
* Develop intuitive user-facing software to interface with UAS platforms.
* Work across multiple layers of the stack, from embedded systems to cloud services.
* Research and implement secure local and internet-based data links.
* Collaborate in a small, agile team to prototype, test, and deploy real-world systems.
* Continuously learn and apply new technologies, tools, and best practices on the fly.
Requirements
* Proficiency in Microsoft 365.
* Familiarity with Python.
* Proficiency in C++.
* Comfortable with DevOps workflows (using Git/GitHub).
* Experience working in Linux environments (Debian-based preferred and common tools).
* Strong self-direction and the ability to operate independently within shared technical goals.
* Initiative, self-discipline, and drive.
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills — we work best as a tight-knit team.
* Ability to continually prioritise and multi-task in a dynamic, creative, fast paced environment.
* A positive attitude toward learning, solving complex problems, and tackling the unknown.
* Eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance (SC level)
Nice to Have
* Command line usage and scripting experience.
* Familiarity with Docker and Docker Compose.
* Familiarity with the PX4/Ardupilot operating system.
* Familiarity with the Robot Operating System (ROS2)
* Familiarity with CMake and Make.
* Knowledge of Aircraft and UAS systems and design.
* Inquisitive and a desire for continued self-improvement and development of new skills.
* Previous experience working within a start up.
