Job description

We’re looking for a Solutions Engineer who will play a pivotal role in the future of our company. Our Solutions Engineer will be responsible for the integration, validation, and operational readiness of Auterion-powered drone systems. You’ll collaborate closely with hardware engineering, firmware/software teams, and operations while ensuring that every platform transitions successfully from a physical airframe into a fully validated flying robot ready for deployment. This role is ideal for someone who lives and breathes drone technology and enjoys bridging the gap between hardware, firmware, and real-world flight performance., * Operate in a highly hands-on environment with evolving system requirements, rapidly iterating across hardware and software integration challenges

  • Perform firmware flashing and configuration using PX4 and/or ArduPilot ecosystems, including sensor calibration, ESC tuning, and system bring-up
  • Execute End-of-Line (EoL) software validation and functional testing to ensure production readiness and reliability
  • Conduct payload and camera load-seat testing, validating integration stability and operational performance under real-world conditions
  • Troubleshoot embedded system issues spanning firmware, communication interfaces, sensors, and hardware-software interactions
  • Work independently to diagnose integration and flight-readiness issues while collaborating closely with engineering and manufacturing teams
  • Contribute to validation workflows for complete UAV systems, including components, integrated features, and operational flight configurations
  • Support full-stack drone integration activities across hardware, embedded firmware, and flight software layers
  • Solve complex integration and reliability challenges involving sensors, flight controllers, communication protocols, and power systems
  • Drive measurable impact on product quality, manufacturing throughput, and deployment readiness through improved validation and testing processes
  • Partner cross-functionally with hardware engineering, firmware/software teams, operations, and QC engineering to accelerate batch validation and reduce EoL cycle times
  • Interface with external vendors and equipment providers to support testing infrastructure, hardware integration, and operational readiness
  • Participate in hands-on flight testing activities to validate platform stability, safety, and mission performance

Requirements

Do you have experience in Manufacturing?, Do you have a Master’s degree?, * B.Sc. in Robotics, Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, or related field (M.Sc. optional)

  • Hands-on experience working with PX4-based systems, including firmware flashing, configuration, and flight validation
  • Strong technical foundation in embedded systems, firmware debugging, and hardware-software integration
  • Proficiency in C/C++ and MAVLink communication protocols
  • Experience with UAV sensor calibration, ESC tuning, and flight controller configuration
  • Familiarity with Linux-based development and debugging environments
  • Experience with UAV flight testing, system validation, and troubleshooting in real-world operational environments
  • Understanding of drone manufacturing, QC processes, and End-of-Line testing methodologies is a plus
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills when working with cross-functional engineering and operations teams
  • Ability to work independently in fast-paced environments with evolving technical challenges
  • Passion for drone technology and a hands-on engineering mindset focused on building reliable flying systems
  • EU citizenship required
