Your role in the team
- We're looking for a passionate Embedded Software Engineer to help bring our UAV laser terminal systems to life. If you thrive on precision, autonomy, and seeing your code take flight - literally - you'll fit right in.
- Develop embedded real-time control software for our advanced laser terminal systems, implementing pointing algorithms and communication protocols.
- Develop software on the software side of Xilinx Zynq MPSoC, in both bare-metal and PetaLinux/Yocto environments. Access to varied interfaces such as I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, Ethernet.
- Implement support systems on ARM cores for navigation systems, drone communication protocols, and user interfaces. Besides C/C++ code, this will also require MySQL, Qt, and Java.
- Participate in field and flight testing to validate system performance in challenging environments.
- Be part of a software team collaborating closely with hardware, optics, and systems teams to integrate, debug, and optimize the full system stack.
