Job description

Are you a drone engineer who codes, builds, flies, and leads? We’re looking for a Robotics Lead to head up the design and deployment of autonomous drone systems for real-world missions.

We want someone who’s hands-on with ArduPilot, has built UAVs from the ground up, and thrives in field testing just as much as in firmware development.

What You’ll Do

• Architect drone systems from flight controller to payloads, telemetry, and companion compute.
• Customize and tune ArduPilot firmware for performance, autonomy, and reliability.
• Lead a small team of engineers and oversee projects from client briefing to final flight test.
• Engage directly with clients to design technical solutions and quote projects.
• Own system integration, testing, documentation, and post-deployment support.

What You Bring

• 5+ years in drone development (hardware + firmware).
• Deep experience with ArduPilot, MAVLink, Mission Planner, tuning, and debugging.
• Strong in C/C++, Python, and systems integration.
• Ability to lead technically, troubleshoot across hardware and software, and manage execution.
• Bonus if you’ve worked with PX4, ROS, UAVCAN, or have led full-stack UAV projects.

Why Join Avetics?

• Work at the intersection of autonomy, robotics, and aerospace.
• Build mission-critical drone systems that get deployed in the real world.
• Small team, real impact, no red tape.
• You’ll get to lead, build, fly, and own.
