Software Engineer (C++ / Android, Drone Systems)

Not your average software gig- your code will literally take off.

We’re looking for a hands-on Software Engineer with solid experience in C++ and Android development.

The role involves software development for embedded processors running on Linux and Android, including components for real-time computer vision and UAV command and control.

What you’ll do:

• Design, develop, and maintain software components in C++ for Linux and Android platforms.
• Collaborate with QA and application engineers to ensure smooth integration and deployment.
• Analyze system performance and optimize for real-world flight conditions.

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of experience in software development using C++ under Linux and Android.
• Strong understanding of embedded environments, system-level programming, and Linux-based systems.
• Experience with computer vision and real-time systems – advantage.
• Experience with drones or UAV platforms – advantage.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• A team player with a practical, hands-on mindset.

What we do:

Sightec develops visual autonomy and navigation solutions for drones and UAVs.

Our technology enables camera-based situational awareness and GPS-free navigation, supporting safe and autonomous missions across both defense and commercial applications.

At the core of our work is NavSight- a visual navigation system that combines classical computer vision with AI-based algorithms to deliver real-time perception and decision-making in flight. With thousands of systems deployed and tested in real-world environments, Sightec focuses on reliable performance, lightweight integration, and practical autonomy.

Who we are:

At Sightec, we value people who take ownership, stay curious, and keep pushing forward when things get complex. Our work demands creativity, precision, and persistence- the same qualities that drive real innovation.

We’re a small, focused team that moves fast, solves hard problems, and learns from every flight and every line of code.

If you’re passionate about drones, computer vision, and building autonomy that actually works in the real world, let’s chat (:
