Systems Engineer

The UAV industry is a fast-paced and constantly evolving market in which Lumenier is a key player. The Systems Engineer is responsible for developing and integrating unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAV”) with software solutions. This position requires a broad set of skills across engineering disciplines, knowledge of communication protocols and experience with power systems.

Do you have experience in Systems engineering?, · Strong understanding of system integration across electrical, mechanical, and software domains

· Hands-on experience building, integrating, and testing multirotor or FPV drone systems

· Experience working with cross-functional teams (EE, ME, and software) in a product development environment

· Familiarity with embedded systems and hardware/software integration

· Experience with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, and MAVLink

· Understanding of power systems, grounding, EMI/EMC considerations, and system-level interactions

· Experience integrating third-party hardware and software systems (sensors, radios, payloads, SDKs, APIs)

· Ability to develop and execute system-level test plans (bench and flight testing)

· Strong troubleshooting skills across hardware, firmware, and system interactions

· Experience analyzing logs and telemetry for system performance and debugging

· Ability to support development from prototype through validation and iteration

· Familiarity with flight control stacks (e.g., PX4, ArduPilot, Betaflight, INAV)

· Experience with system configuration, tuning, and integration within these ecosystems

· Ability to interface systems with embedded software environments (Linux-based systems, RTOS, or companion computers)

· Experience using tools such as Git for version control and working with technical documentation

The ideal candidate would also have experience with the following (“nice to have”):

· Experience with drones, robotics, or aerospace systems

· Familiarity with mechanical integration constraints (mounting, vibration, thermal considerations)

· Experience with RF systems (video transmission, antennas, telemetry)

· Experience integrating companion computers or onboard compute (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi)

· Basic scripting or programming (Python, C/C++)

· Experience supporting prototype builds through production or field deployment

Personal Skills/Abilities:

· Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative development environment

· Compelling work ethic and attitudinal awareness around “getting the job done right”

· Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail in system integration

· Ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines

· Excellent written and verbal communication skills

· Strong aptitude for root cause analysis and troubleshooting

· Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines

Education and Experience:

· Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or related field) or equivalent practical experience

· 3+ years of experience in systems engineering, UAVs, robotics, or embedded systems
