Jobbeschreibung

Your mission

Join our newly established engineering team to build the core weapon control software for the operation of a novel robotic defensive turret in combination with kinetic effectors. You will design, implement, validate, and harden software from the user interface down to hardware-close robotic control, which must perform under real operational conditions. Your work will directly shape the reliability, safety, and tactical capability of the systems we deliver.

What You Will Do

• Contribute to the design, development, and integration of operational weapon control software with core robotic capabilities, including:
• Low-level, real-time interface integration with the robotics system (but not engineering of the robotics or electronics itself).
• Position control and high-precision calibration of the robotic system based on object tracking input from a multi-modal sensor suite.
• Develop and improve algorithms for targeting, ballistic calculations, and safe fire control.
• Design and implement weapon control software with multi-device (embedded, tablet, …) user interface and rule-based control logic.
• Build safeguards to ensure deterministic behaviour, reliability, and system-level stability.
• Debug and validate the system during field tests and under real-world constraints.

You will execute on real hardware and iterate based on operational performance; field results are the final metric.

Your profile

We are looking for three engineers who jointly cover the below needs. Therefore, you must be able to cover not all, but a large portion of the below.

Must-Have Skills

• Technical Fundamentals: Proficiency in C++ for control of the robotic hardware interface via ROS2.
• Experience developing software that runs on real robots, embedded systems, or hardware-in-the-loop systems.
• Experience with API design and development of abstraction layers between hardware capabilities and operator control logic.
• Expertise in developing middleware between robotics and the user interface; ideally in a secure programming language like Rust.
• Solid foundation in algorithms, data structures, and numerical methods. In particular, for the development of speed-optimized, high-precision calculations for tracking, positioning, and ballistics.
• Development of intuitive, robust, and efficient user interface software that is device-independent and portable. Therefore, extensive experience in an appropriate framework like Flutter/Dart or React is mandatory.
• Strong debugging skills: Runtime issues, latency, performance bottlenecks, integration failures, memory safety, graceful degradation.
• Ability to architect, design, implement, and document clean, modular, and maintainable software systems.

Mindset & Attitude

• Builder mentality: You ship working solutions, not theoretical concepts.
• Hands-on ownership: You proactively solve problems, even outside your direct scope.
• Field-driven mindset: You care about what works and survives in real operations.
• High quality bar: You aim for reliability, determinism, and clarity in your engineering, because lives might depend on it.
• Startup drive: You execute fast despite ambiguity and adapt quickly to change operational needs.

Mission alignment: Genuine motivation to work on defence-relevant, safety-critical systems.

Nice to have

Non-technical Requirements

• Business language is English and fluency in speaking, understanding, and writing is a must; German language skill is a bonus.
• Prior military service experience is a bonus.

What else

• Willingness to travel
• Citizenship of NATO member country or closed allied are mandatory
