software engineer - Infra & Mission Control (6125)

Job Description: We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced software engineer to architect and scale our Infrastructure & Mission Control software stack. In this role, you will be a key contributor to the "brains" of our systems, bridging the gap between high-level autonomy and low-level flight execution.
You will own, develop, and optimize critical features across two main pillars: Mission Control: Building our Ground Control Station (GCS), mission computer stacks, autonomy co-pilots, and safety-critical flight control integrations. Infrastructure: Developing high-fidelity UAV simulations for deterministic testing, cloud-based telemetry analysis, and robust CI/CD pipelines for hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) validation. In this position, you will work in close collaboration with cross-functional teams such as Vision & GNC, Systems Engineering, Flight Operations, and Product, to deliver reliable, scalable, and operationally effective software. Responsibilities:
Mission Logic & C2: Architect ground and airborne mission logic to support complex autonomous operations.
HMI Excellence: Develop performant, low-latency, and intuitive Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) for Real-Time UAV command and control. Flight Stack Integration: Deeply integrate with flight control software to ensure seamless telemetry and command execution. Simulation & Validation: Build and maintain SITL/HITL infrastructure (utilizing tools like Unreal Engine or Gazebo) to ensure system determinism across hardware iterations.
Embedded & Real-Time: Develop the Embedded software stack, including Hardware Abstraction Layers and Real-Time application logic.
Protocol Design: Design and optimize robust communication protocols (e.g., MAVLink, Protobuf) for Real-Time data exchange over serial and wireless links.
