• Opportunity to lead the system architecture, integration, verification, and field acceptance of advanced autonomous flight systems.
• End-to-end technical ownership across R&D algorithms, flight-control firmware, robotics software, embedded systems, and deployment.
• Hands-on exposure to ground testing, flight testing, failure investigation, and real-world system validation.
• Collaboration with Navigation, Sensor Fusion, GNC, Vision, Radar, CRPA, Avionics, Cybersecurity, and RF/EMI-EMC teams.

• Define and maintain system requirements, architecture, interfaces, operating concepts, and technical baselines.
• Translate program objectives into measurable subsystem requirements, verification methods, and acceptance criteria.
• Maintain relevant compute, timing, latency, bandwidth, power, thermal, and system-performance budgets.
• Define integration, simulation, bench, HIL, ground test, and flight test strategies with the technical owners.
• Lead technical reviews, trade studies, failure investigations, and cross-functional issue resolution.
• Establish requirements to test traceability, approve system-level verification evidence, and release baselines.
• Coordinate interfaces with Navigation, Sensor Fusion, GNC, Vision, Radar, CRPA, and Flight-Control Firmware teams.
• Coordinate with Avionics, Cybersecurity, and RF/EMI-EMC units without duplicating their specialist ownership.
• Own deployment plans, flight-test objectives, known system limitations, and technical acceptance criteria.
• Mentor Systems Engineers working in Robotics Software, Software Platform, Robotics Integration, and Embedded Software.
• Communicate technical risks, evidence, decisions, and system status to management and Program Management.

• Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD degree in Robotics/Mechatronics, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering Design, or Aerospace Engineering
• 6+ years (Bachelor’s) or 5+ years (Master’s) or 1+ years (PhD) or more years of industrial experience in systems engineering and integration affiliated to aerospace, UAVs, robotics, or complex embedded products; demonstrated architecture ownership and technical depth are more important than a strict year count
• Demonstrated experience owning a complete system or major subsystem from requirements through integration and field validation
• Strong understanding of requirements engineering, interface management, verification, configuration control, and technical risk management
• Strong log analysis, debugging, root-cause investigation, and technical decision-making skills.
• Strong technical writing, review, mentoring, and stakeholder communication skills
• Experience in either of the following: vision-aided navigation, radar-aided navigation, GNSS-Denied PNT solutions, or RF-based localization in mobile robots
• Hands-on experience with industrial machine-vision cameras, IMU/INS, embedded computers, microcontrollers, TOF sensors, and 3D LiDAR
• Experience working with ArduPilot/PX4, ROS/ROS2, MAVLink, Mission Planner or QGroundControl
• Experience working on timing and synchronization in embedded systems

• Application knowledge of time-series analysis
• Technical depth in model-based systems engineering and system identification
• Working knowledge of antennas, GNSS receivers, and RF spectrum
• Experience with SIL/HIL simulation, automated regression, flight-test planning, and incident investigation
• Experience in multi-agent systems and dynamic game theory
• Experience in V2X, energy optimization, and electronic circuits
• Familiarity with safety analysis, failure modes, degraded operations, or qualification of airborne/robotic systems
• Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams in a startup or fast-moving product environment

• Depth of thesis/research experience in robotics, UAV autonomy, control systems, state estimation, navigation and planning, or perception
• Research internships or lab experience involving UAV testing and system integration
• Ability to take ownership of specific subsystem modules or small projects early in their tenure
• Strong publication track record (IEEE Transactions, IJJR, Science Robotics, ICRA, IROS, CoRL, CVPR, ECCV, JoFR)

• Standard working hours are 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, Monday to Friday
• Field-testing activities may require early-morning or extended hours, depending on mission requirements
