Embedded Drone Controls Engineer (C++, FOC)

Robotto Co; Denmark; On-site; DKK 600,000 - 850,000; Full time

Job summary

Robotto is seeking a Control & Software Engineer to advance embedded software for drones and unmanned systems. You will write reliable C++ that interfaces with motors, sensors and hardware, collaborating with control, electronics and flight-test teams.

The role blends software and hardware, focusing on real-time performance, debugging complex interactions, and contributing to motor-control features such as Field-Oriented Control (FOC).

Qualifications

• At least 3 years of professional software engineering experience, ideally within embedded or real-time systems.
• Experience with motor control, particularly Field‑Oriented Control (FOC).
• Strong C++ programming skills.
• Hands‑on experience developing software that interfaces with hardware.
• Experience with embedded systems, real‑time systems, microcontrollers or similar low‑level environments.
• Good understanding of debugging, testing, software architecture and version control.
• Experience with communication protocols such as CAN, UART, SPI, I2C or similar is an advantage.
• Experience with robotics, drones, autonomous systems or other complex electromechanical products is an advantage.
• Professional fluency in English.
• A degree in computer science, software engineering, electrical engineering, robotics, mechatronics or a related field is preferred; equivalent practical experience is equally welcome.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain embedded software in C++ for drones and unmanned systems.
• Build software that interfaces with motors, sensors, actuators and other hardware components.
• Work with real‑time and performance‑sensitive software.
• Contribute to motor‑control software, including Field‑Oriented Control (FOC), where relevant to your experience.
• Develop and integrate communication between embedded components and wider product systems.
• Debug complex software and hardware interactions and identify root causes of issues.
• Collaborate closely with control, electronics, flight‑test and software engineers.
• Contribute to software architecture, testing, documentation, code quality and technical decisions.
• Support integration and testing on real hardware and drone platforms.
