Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Own mechanical aircraft subsystems from concept through design, prototyping, integration, ground testing, flight testing, and deployment. Design structural and mechanical components, lead subsystem reviews, analyze loads and flight environments, iterate designs using test data, and partner with manufacturing to ensure scalability and reliability.

Lead architecture, design, integration, testing, and flight validation of critical autonomous aircraft structures and hardware. Own systems from concept through production, perform sizing, loads analysis, and trade studies, resolve interfaces across structures, avionics, propulsion, and payload systems, and partner with manufacturing on scalable designs. Participate in aircraft builds and flight-test campaigns while mentoring engineers and establishing technical standards.

Develop aircraft system requirements, interface definitions, acceptance criteria, and verification plans. Integrate hardware and software subsystems, support bench, simulation, ground, and flight testing, analyze telemetry and test data, investigate anomalies, and validate corrective actions. Coordinate with electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing, flight-test, and operations teams while maintaining configuration control and producing technical documentation. The role requires independent ownership of engineering workstreams involving autonomous aircraft and complex electromechanical systems.

Own aircraft systems engineering workstreams from requirements definition through integration, verification, and closure. Lead architecture and interface tradeoffs, coordinate bench, simulation, ground, and flight testing, investigate anomalies, and verify corrective actions. Improve engineering standards, documentation, reviews, and verification practices while mentoring other engineers. Collaborate across electrical, mechanical, software, flight test, manufacturing, reliability, and operations teams on autonomous aircraft systems.

Own the architecture and technical direction of a software stack spanning 3D mission-planning interfaces, backend services, telemetry infrastructure, and autonomous aircraft software. Lead safety-critical C++ and ArduPilot work, scale fleet systems, establish engineering standards, drive cross-functional technical plans, apply AI tools, and mentor engineers. The role requires hands-on expertise across Python, JavaScript or TypeScript, C++, distributed systems, and software interacting with real-world hardware.

Owns end-to-end software capabilities across 3D mission planning, Python backend services, telemetry infrastructure, and autonomous aircraft systems. Builds reliable APIs, data pipelines, and fleet operations tooling; develops C++ changes in an ArduPilot fork; scales telemetry systems; applies AI; and partners with robotics, avionics, hardware, and flight operations teams through simulation and flight testing.

As Director of Hardware, you will lead the aircraft hardware execution from design to production, ensuring quality and reliability through collaboration with manufacturing and software teams.

As Director of Software, you will lead software execution for UAV systems, managing teams and hands-on coding, ensuring reliable feature delivery and scaling operations.

The engineer will develop and execute ground tests for aircraft components, work on structures, propulsion, avionics, and maintain test reports, collaborate with design engineers, and analyze flight data for improvement.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll lead the frontend development of SkyNav, creating intuitive interfaces for mission planning while collaborating with various teams to enhance user experience and system performance.
