## Description

Mach Industries is seeking a talented Integration Engineer to lead the integration of Software and Firmware components into Mach's Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

The Integration Engineer is responsible for driving projects forward at a rapid pace - tracking milestones, managing deliverables, and integrating the work of multiple teams into a cohesive final product. This role also requires a hands-on approach, including debugging source code, identifying and resolving complex technical issues, proposing solutions, FW reconfiguration and testing prototype firmware implementations within UA vehicles. The Integration Engineer will serve as both a responsible engineer and a key liaison between software, hardware, and systems teams.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering and program management - combining technical depth with the communication and planning skills needed to drive cross-functional integration efforts across flight software, autonomy, ground control, and mission systems.

This is a highly visible, multidisciplinary role ideal for an engineer who thrives in both technical and leadership contexts - someone who can dive deep into code when needed while also steering teams toward coordinated technical milestones., * Work across disciplines (mechanical, electrical, and software) to define systems and subsystems requirements, interfaces, data flows and how these requirements are implemented by the Software and Firmware Engineering teams.

 * Define SW/FW features supporting defined requirements, set timelines for development of these features and drive the implementation, validation and release of these features against the general company program milestones.
 * Own integration and delivery of software systems across flight control, autonomy, communications, and deployment tools.
 * Works closely with Manufacturing to ensure the latest version of validated, vehicle specific software is deployed on UAVs.
 * Serve as responsible engineer for end-to-end software integration on UAV programs.
 * Coordinate software updates and release cycles across multiple internal teams.
 * Works closely with Validation Engineers to ensure all released software passed automated and manual validation before release.
 * Document interfaces, configurations, and integration procedures to ensure repeatability and reliability.
 * Communicate technical status, risks, and dependencies to engineering leadership.
