• Handle certification worklfows end-to-end from requirements to proof

Relevant technology:

• Autopilot: PX4 fork on NuttX (realtime embedded C++)
• Onboard software: python, gstreamer on Debian
• Communication: UART, I2C, CAN, USB, PWM, NMEA
• Control: GNSS denied navigation, PID controllers, RTK, BLDC
• Electronics: COTS electronics, BMS, PCB design
• Networking: openvpn, MAVLink
• Avionics: CubeOrange, Raspberry Pi, uBlox F9P, ICM20948, Camera

What we offer:

• Work on introducing a new means of transportation into society. Like building the first cars, you can tell your grandkids that "I was part of making this happen"
• Work in the leading environment in Europe for these systems.
• Large stock option package. When we succeed, we all succeed!

Practical:

• Position: 100%
