We are looking for an experienced SW Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development of advanced software solutions for Qualcomm-based mission computers in autonomous systems.

In this role, you will work at the intersection of embedded software, robotics, security, and system integration, helping to build reliable, secure, and high-performance solutions for demanding UAV and UxV environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain software for Qualcomm-based mission computers used in autonomous and mission-critical systems
  • Build and support ROS2-based applications and middleware for perception, planning, navigation, and sensor integration
  • Work on secure platform bring-up, boot chain validation, and integration of platform security features
  • Support communication and data exchange between autonomy stack, flight controller, and ground systems
  • Optimize software performance for real-time and resource-constrained environments
  • Implement telemetry, diagnostics, and monitoring tools to improve system reliability
  • Collaborate closely with software, hardware, QA, manufacturing, and systems teams throughout development and integration

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in robotics, autonomous systems, embedded software, or safety-critical platform development
  • Strong hands-on experience with Qualcomm SoCs, mission computer platforms, and embedded Linux environments
  • Good knowledge of ROS2, real-time embedded systems, and Python development
  • Experience with Linux/Yocto, BSP integration, platform bring-up, driver integration, and debugging
  • Understanding of sensor integration and communication protocols in autonomous systems
  • Knowledge of secure boot, hardware root of trust, secure provisioning, and embedded cybersecurity principles
  • Experience with performance optimization for GPU, DSP, NPU, or other AI/ML acceleration environments is an advantage
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, and automated testing is a plus
  • Strong communication skills in English and the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams
  • This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge autonomous systems and contribute to secure, high-performance software solutions in a challenging technical environment.
  • If you are passionate about embedded software, robotics, and advanced system integration, we would be happy to hear from you.
