Job description
The founding context is shaped by real-world urgency - the defence relevance is not theoretical, and the technology is needed today.
The company operates precisely at the intersection of: research | real-world application | go-to-market execution
This is a setup for engineers who:
- are comfortable operating under uncertainty
- take ownership and drive things forward
- understand that technology only matters when it performs outside controlled environments, * A core part of your work is the analysis of real drone flights
- When you implement a change, it is deployed to the system, tested in real-world conditions, and you verify whether it performs reliably outside of ideal scenarios.
Examples:
- If a drone deviates from its trajectory after a 20 km flight, you dive into the logs, reconstruct the flight path, and identify whether the root cause lies in sensor errors, synchronization issues, or the underlying mathematical model
- If communication between components is unreliable, you analyze data flows between the onboard computer (e.g. Raspberry Pi) and the flight controller, ensuring that all systems operate consistently
- If visual odometry (camera-based motion estimation) degrades during aggressive maneuvers, you investigate whether the issue stems from vibration (noisy IMU data), poor synchronization between camera and IMU, or an inadequate motion model, * Startup character, but financially secured for the coming years, supported in part by Austrian funding programs and investors
- You can work from anywhere; meetings for technical exchange are held remotely
- You will join a genuinely supportive and kind team - a place where different life realities are understood and respected
- At the same time, the team works hard because it knows what it is building for: a strong mix of Silicon Valley mindset and pragmatism
Additional
- If a specific job title is important to you, that can be aligned - what matters more is the output
- Compensation is open for discussion; while this is a startup, salary is not just base pay - let's discuss overall packages and individual needs openly
Requirements
- You have a strong academic background (bachelor/master), typically in robotics, computer science, technical physics, aerospace engineering, or a related technical discipline
- You bring at least 3 years of experience in robotics or autonomous systems (e.g. UAVs), including hands-on work with technologies such as ROS/ROS2, Visual-Inertial Odometry, or navigation stacks - ideally in drone-related projects
- You have experience in sensor fusion and localization, for example working with Kalman filters, IMU data, GNSS/GPS, camera, or LiDAR data in real-world applications
- You are proficient in embedded software development, with C++ skills and Linux-based environments, as well as experience using Python for data analysis
- You possess solid mathematical foundation and are able to reason about models and uncertainty in complex systems
- You are fluent in English and comfortable collaborating in an international team; knowledge of Ukrainian or Russian is a plus
