Description

Who we are

We are a small and ambitious engineering team building a large, unconventional UUV. We built the prototype and closed our seed round. Now we are focused on building the full-scale drone, with the initial field tests behind us.

The role

You will own the drone control software: actuator control, sensor fusion, navigation, mission logic, and the link to the ground.

What you will work on

• Actuator control over PWM, CAN, UART, and RS485 (motors, servos, valves, relays)
• Sensor acquisition and fusion: IMU, barometer, GPS, speed sensors, INS, etc
• Navigation and dead reckoning in GPS-denied conditions
• Communications: radio, Ethernet, TCP/UDP telemetry and commanding
• Mission execution and autonomy logic
• System architecture as the codebase grows from one vehicle to many
• Field testing and fixing

What we are looking for

Must-haves

• Strong C/C++ for embedded development
• Experience with CAN, UART, I2C, SPI, and radio links
• Comfortable with PWM, relays, and basic electronics (reading schematics, working with EEs)
• Sensor data processing: filtering, sensor fusion, EKF or equivalent
• System design experience; can draw clean module boundaries as code grows
• Prototype-to-production experience
• Communicative, picks up unfamiliar domains quickly, works well next to hardware people

Nice to have

• UAV stacks: Ardupilot, PX4, ROS 2
• INS tuning and inertial navigation
• Networked telemetry (MAVLink, TCP/UDP over Ethernet or radio)

Working with us

• Ownership of the software stack and strong input on the hardware
• Short decision cycles
• Technical problems without off-the-shelf answers
• Field tests where we break things, learn, enjoy nature, and grill
