The hardware on the drone is only half of what keeps it up in the air. The rest is the software both on the craft and on our ground station.
Our unique dual motor thrust vectored tailsitter with blended wing body design has to fly in almost all weather-including heavy winds and light rains autonomously. We're targeting 1000s of flights per day across all locations, requiring us to rethink everything from firmware, controls, state estimation to even ground control and fleet management software.
We've achieved an industry-leading payload-to-weight ratio of ~2kg drone for 1kg payload and we're pushing this even further. Every gram matters when you're revolutionizing logistics.
This is where cutting-edge aerospace engineering meets software scalability meets real-world impact. If you get excited about solving problems that span multiple disciplines that don't have textbook solutions, this is your playground.
In this critical, hands-on engineering role, you will develop the embedded software that keeps our revolutionary aircraft flying safely and efficiently. You will build flight-critical systems, optimize real-time performance of our state estimation and control loops, and integrate cutting-edge sensors into our dual-motor thrust-vectored tailsitter platform.
Flight-Critical Firmware Development: Design and implement core embedded systems that control our unique blended wing body aircraft through complex autonomous flight operations
Real-Time Control Systems: Develop high-frequency control loops and sensor fusion algorithms under strict timing constraints. Implement advanced flight control logic and state estimation systems that respond to changing flight conditions in milliseconds.
Hardware Integration & Optimization: Build low-level drivers for custom avionics hardware including IMUs, GPS modules, cameras, and motor controllers. Optimize code for memory and power efficiency.
Autonomous Navigation Systems: Support in development of computer vision pipelines for precision landing, path planning algorithms, and obstacle avoidance systems for fully autonomous flight operations.
Communication & Telemetry: Develop robust communication protocols for ground station connectivity, fleet coordination, and real-time telemetry streaming. Ensure reliable data transmission in challenging RF environments with failsafe mechanisms.
