pABOUT US: /ppWe are a dynamic technology company developing next-gen solutions for a rapidly evolving world. Our focus currently is on building scalable air defence systems, to Counter Uncrewed Aerial Systems (C-UAS), for protecting our cities and critical assets from threats. In turn, we are laying the foundation of large-scale autonomous interception systems to counter proliferation of hostile UxVs. /ppLarge scale inspections of Dykes, waterways and disaster management are some of the emergent dual applications of our swarm systems. /ppThe Role: /ppJoin us as a Robotics Software Founding Engineer to architect and build the core software capabilities for next-generation aerial swarm systems. You will be responsible for pioneering the cutting-edge autonomy, coordination, and control logic that enables fleets of UAVs to operate collaboratively and intelligently in real-world environments. This is a high-impact, hands-on role at the intersection of robotics, Edge AI, and scalable distributed systems, ideal for a technical leader passionate about realising ambitious ideas into applied technology. /ppKey Responsibilities: /pulliArchitect and implement distributed control systems for autonomous multi-agent swarms, including real-time coordination, perception based self-organization, and robust flight control. /liliIntegrate existing technologies or identify bespoke needs in swarm intelligence—perception, localization, path planning, and collaborative decision-making—for rapid PoC development and future in-house scaling. /liliDesign and manage simulation environments like Isaac Sim to test, validate, and iterate swarm behaviors before hardware deployment. /liliIntegrate software with UAV hardware platforms, ensuring seamless operation across communication, sensing, and actuation layers. /liliLead early prototyping, architecture design, and real-time control for mission-critical demos and field deployments. /liliCollaborate cross-functionally with hardware, embedded, and AI systems to align transverse interfaces and requirements. /liliDrive innovation by leveraging latest advancements in swarm robotics, AI, and multi-agent systems, translating them into product capabilities. /liliDocument architecture, algorithms, and system designs for reproducibility and future scaling. /li /ulpMinimum Qualifications: /pulli3+ years of experience in robotics software development, with a strong focus on UAVs or autonomous systems. /liliDemonstrable proficiency in C++ and Python for real-time robotics and simulation development. /liliHands-on experience with ROS2, DDS, or similar robotics middle ware for distributed systems. /liliExcellent grasp of multi-agent systems, swarm intelligence, or distributed AI algorithms. /liliExperience with UAV simulation tools (e.g., Gazebo, AirSim, Isaac Sim, Unreal Engine). /liliStrong knowledge of real-time operating systems (e.g., Linux, Zephyr, FreeRTOS) and embedded software integration. /liliExcellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills; ability to thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage environment. /li /ulpPreferred Qualifications: /pulliTrack record of delivering fielded robotics/autonomy systems or leading technical teams in early-stage startups. /liliAdvanced degree (MS/PhD) in Robotics, Computer Science, Mechatronics or a related field. A track record of building real world solutions is preferred over an advanced degree from a top institution. /liliExperience with reinforcement learning (RL/MARL) for autonomous agents. /liliBackground in sensor fusion, flight dynamics, and UAV control architectures. /liliFamiliarity with secure communication protocols (MQTT, UDP, DDS, WebRTC) and cloud-based simulation and edge deployment. /liliSecurity clearance or eligibility (for defense-related projects). /li /ulpWhat We Offer: /pulliOpportunity to lead the development of the core autonomy stack of a disruptive emerging swarm technology company. /liliA competitive salary between €5.420 to €6.250 per month + 1-2% equity (as SAR). /liliLeadership in a mission-driven, high-growth environment. /liliDirect impact on the architecture and deployment of scalable aerial swarm systems. /li /ulpA founding engineer is not a 9-5 job. Applicants from within EU only. /p
