Job description

Type: Onsite

We’re looking for a Solutions Engineer UAS / Aviation who will play a pivotal role in the future of our company. Our Solutions Engineer will be responsible for the integration, validation, and operational readiness of Auterion-powered drone systems. You’ll collaborate closely with the production team, as well hardware engineering, firmware/software teams, and operations while ensuring that every platform transitions successfully from a physical airframe into a fully validated flying robot ready for deployment. This role is ideal for someone who lives and breathes drone technology and enjoys bridging the gap between hardware, firmware, and real-world flight performance.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Operate in a highly hands-on environment with evolving system requirements, rapidly iterating across hardware and software integration challenges
• Perform firmware flashing and configuration using PX4 and/or other autopilot ecosystems, including sensor calibration, ESC tuning, and system bring-up
• Execute End-of-Line (EoL) software validation and functional testing to ensure production readiness and reliability
• Conduct payload and camera load-seat testing, validating integration stability and operational performance under real-world conditions
• Troubleshoot embedded system issues spanning firmware, communication interfaces, sensors, and hardware-software interactions
• Work independently to diagnose integration and flight-readiness issues while collaborating closely with engineering and manufacturing teams
• Contribute to validation workflows for complete UAV systems, including components, integrated features, and operational flight configurations
• Support full-stack drone integration activities across hardware, embedded firmware, and flight software layers
• Solve complex integration and reliability challenges involving sensors, flight controllers, communication protocols, and power systems
• Drive measurable impact on product quality, manufacturing throughput, and deployment readiness through improved validation and testing processes
• Partner cross-functionally with hardware engineering, firmware/software teams, operations, and QC engineering to accelerate batch validation and reduce EoL cycle times
• Interface with external vendors and equipment providers to support testing infrastructure, hardware integration, and operational readiness
• Participate in hands‑on flight testing activities to validate platform stability, safety, and mission performance

Qualifications and Skills

• B.Sc. in Aviation Technology, Robotics, Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, or related field (M.Sc. optional)
• Hands‑on experience working with Autopilot, Mission planning and navigation Software, including firmware flashing, configuration, and flight validation
• Strong technical foundation in embedded systems, firmware debugging, and hardware‑software integration
• Proficiency in C/C++ and/or MAVLink communication protocols or equivalent Datalink protocols
• Experience with UAV sensor calibration, ESC tuning, and flight controller configuration
• Familiarity with Linux‑based development and debugging environments
• Experience with UAV flight testing, system validation, and troubleshooting in real-world operational environments
• Understanding of drone manufacturing, QC processes, and End‑of‑Line testing methodologies is a plus
• Strong collaboration and communication skills when working with cross‑functional engineering and operations teams
• Ability to work independently in fast‑paced environments with evolving technical challenges
• Passion for drone technology and a hands‑on engineering mindset focused on building reliable flying systems
• EU citizenship required
