C++/ArduPilot Backend Engineer

We are currently seeking an experienced Backend Engineer to lead our projects in this exciting and innovative field.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain C++ applications and services that interact with embedded systems, specifically using Ardupilot/PX4 or other similar platforms. 
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to integrate C++-based software with embedded systems and sensors, enabling seamless data exchange and device control. 
• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve software and hardware integration issues, ensuring high-quality, reliable, and performant solutions. 
• Utilize Python for up to 20% of development, mainly for scripting, testing, and automation tasks. 

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in development with a focus on embedded systems, device programming, or hardware interfacing. 
• Proven experience with Ardupilot/PX4 or similar platforms (e.g., Betaflight, iNav). 
• Solid understanding of embedded systems, microcontrollers, and hardware-software interaction. 
• Strong expertise in C++, with experience in performance optimization, multithreading, and I/O operations in resource-constrained environments. 
• Experience with Python for development, including scripting, testing, and automation, as well as its use in embedded systems. 
• Experience with serial communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C). 
• Experience in Linux/Unix environments and tools (e.g., Git, SSH, command-line utilities). 

Will be a plus:

• Experience with single board PCs (e.g., Raspberry Pi, Arduino, etc.). 
• Knowledge of cloud technologies or IoT platforms (e.g., MQTT, AWS IoT, Google Cloud IoT). 
• Soldering and engineering skills. 
• Experience with 3D printing. 
• Drone pilot experience (simulator, real drones).
