Job description

Aviant does home delivery with drones. We fly at 100 km/h to people's gardens and deliver food and medicine. After starting in the labs at MIT in 2020, we have performed over 8,000 flights, covered tens of thousands of kilometers, completed more than 30 contracts and managed to take a leading position in the European drone market. We just launched Europes largest base for autonomous last-mile delivery with drones at Ski. This will be a major event in European transportation, and we are now looking for a robotics engineer to take an active part in the development and certification of the drone system.

As a Robotics Engineer, you will:

• Develop new concepts and designs for the drone, both hardware and software

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

• Aircraft type: Fixed-wing VTOL, 2.5m wingspan

• Communication: UART, I2C, CAN, USB, PWM, NMEA

• Control: PID controllers, RTK

• Hardware: BLDC motors, Lithium batteries

• Physics: Aerodynamics, thermodynamics, rigid body physics

• Avionics: CubeOrange, Raspberry Pi, uBlox F9P, ICM20948

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%

• Location: Ski, Norway (10min train from Oslo)

Ideal candidate:

• Top 3% among your peers
