Embedded Flight Control Software Engineer
Embedded Flight Control Software Engineer
At Destinus, we are revolutionizing the aerospace industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness.
We have an exciting opportunity for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our team. You will play a crucial role in the further development of our embedded software that powers complex aircraft guidance systems, as well as power and system management. Our platform ranges from simple STM32 microcontrollers with I/O and common communication protocols, to more complex Zynq UltraScale systems with PCIe, USB, and gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Key Responsibilities
* Design software, implement it along with the required test cases to provide a solid foundation for the higher-level control functions, GNC software functions, state-machine for autonomous flight, security functions
* Support the hardware design team with board bring-up and debugging of subsystems not working on newly designed boards
* Maintain and streamline a flight-proven state of the art Flight Computer and Ground Control System for a wide and ever expanding range of airframes
* Define the roadmap for implementation, plan sprints, and execute the plan accordingly
* Develop test plans, take part in test facility specification and testing, perform hardware testing and analyze test results
* Track and service problem reports from the field and make sure known bugs get solved throughout the fleet
* Support design reviews, provide guidance for the implementation of new software stacks
