Senior Software Engineer

About the role Our systems require high-quality, reliable software to ensure safe mission execution. As a senior software engineer, you bring valuable experience to support the ongoing development of our products, ranging from embedded Linux and RTOS flight controllers to our Linux-based Mission Planner and cloud applications like fleet management. From day one you’ll balance priorities across multiple projects. You'll join a collaborative and driven software team of six engineers and play a key role in the daily workload, working closely with the hardware and embedded teams to ensure smooth integration between software and physical systems. Beyond your technical contributions, you help organize the team’s work and support less experienced colleagues. You proactively spot potential issues, share your vision with management, and naturally take a guiding role. You help to steer the technical direction and maintain focus. Key responsibilities • Design and develop high-quality, reliable software for flight control, mission planning, and cloud-based fleet management. • Lead technical design discussions and contribute to architectural decisions across the software stack. • Integrate software with hardware and embedded systems, working closely with the hardware and embedded systems teams. • Mentor and support fellow engineers, helping to elevate the team’s technical capabilities and practices. • Ensure safety, performance, and scalability through robust testing, reviews, and continuous improvement. • Translate complex system requirements into clear technical solutions, balancing innovation with safety and maintainability. • Own and deliver end-to-end features in an agile environment, from design to deployment. About you You’re comfortable with a systems engineering approach and agile workflows. You thrive in a fast-paced, international environment and bring both optimism and adaptability. As a senior, you combine deep technical expertise with sound judgment. You are able to set priorities, communicate clearly, say no when needed, and quickly understand complex situations. When you're faced with something new, you dive in with curiosity and learn quickly. Your code ensures that our drones operate safely, efficiently, and reliably in complex real-world applications. In this role, your impact will be directly visible!
