C/C++ Engineer, UAV

Join a fast‑moving engineering team building next‑generation UAV and autonomous drone platforms. We’re looking for a UAV Software Engineer with deep C/C++, embedded systems expertise, and a passion for real hardware, real aircraft, and real‑world mission systems.

This is a hands‑on role where your code directly shapes flight behaviour, autonomy, safety, and system performance.

What You’ll Work On

• Develop and optimise embedded C/C++ software for UAV flight controllers and onboard systems.

• Integrate sensors, radios, navigation modules, and mission‑critical components.

• Work with RTOS, bare‑metal environments, and microcontroller‑level programming.

• Implement control algorithms, safety logic, and real‑time data processing.

• Support simulation, hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing, and live flight trials.

• Collaborate with avionics, hardware, and systems engineers to deliver robust airborne capability.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Strong commercial experience in embedded C/C++ development.

• Solid understanding of microcontrollers, low‑level programming, and hardware interfaces.

• Experience with RTOS, bare‑metal systems, or real‑time embedded environments.

• Familiarity with protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, DroneCAN.

• Ability to debug embedded systems using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and similar tools.

• Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to work in fast‑paced engineering teams.

Desirable Extras

• Experience with UAVs, drones, robotics, or autonomous systems.

• Knowledge of PX4, ArduPilot, or custom flight‑control stacks.

• Understanding of control theory, sensor fusion, navigation, or flight dynamics.

• Exposure to ARM‑based architectures, embedded Linux, or high‑performance avionics.
