Job Summary
In this role, you will develop software components for autonomous UAVs, plan simulations, and test your solutions in flight trials. You will also analyze log data and integrate new functions into existing systems.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Our goal is the safe autonomous operation of unmanned aerial vehicles. To achieve this, we develop innovative solutions for flight control, mission and trajectory planning, connectivity and swarm coordination, runtime monitoring and system component security, as well as situation assessment and decision-making.
- We are researching the enhancement of on-board autonomous capabilities and the development of technologies required to ensure their safety, such as artificial intelligence.
- We are continuously working to expand our autonomy systems with new features, capabilities, and properties.
- We want your support for this! As part of a thesis or during an internship, you can contribute your technical interests and expertise to our team and expand your horizons regarding autonomy for unmanned aerial vehicles.
- Specific activities include, for example, developing and integrating software (mostly Python or C/C++), working with simulation tools (ROS2, Gazebo, Matlab/Simulink), working with open-source autopilots (Px4, Ardupilot, etc.), analyzing log data, processing geospatial data, or AI training data.
- Development of new onboard software components and features for autonomous drones.
- Integration into the existing system architecture and our software framework for autonomy.
- Validation of the developed functions in simulations and flight tests.
