• Support early-stage prototyping, bring-up, and proof-of-concept activities
• Plan and execute system validation, including lab and flight tests, driving iterative improvements

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in system in which there are closed control loops - Must
• Practical experience in real-time systems and embedded hardware - Must
• Flight test experience - Advantage
• Experience with quadcopter drones or FPV systems - Advantage
• Strong ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams, align stakeholders, and drive joint execution, while maintaining a high level of ownership and independence in delivering tasks end-to-end.
