What we’re looking for

In this role, you will bridge the gap between theoretical Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) and production-grade software engineering. You will not simply configure existing autopilots; you will engineer the core logic that defines aircraft behavior. Your focus will be on translating complex flight dynamics and control algorithms into highly efficient, deterministic, and safety-critical C++ architectures within the autopilot (e.g. PX4/ArduPilot) ecosystem.


The day-to-day

1. GNC Algorithm Development & Tuning

  • Control Laws: Design and implement advanced control strategies (e.g., Adaptive PID, LQR, or Model Predictive Control - MPC) to ensure stable flight in highly dynamic and wind-disturbed environments.
  • State Estimation: Work extensively...
