Are you a drone engineer who codes, builds, flies, and leads We're looking for a Robotics Lead to head up the design and deployment of autonomous drone systems for real-world missions.
We want someone who's hands-on with ArduPilot, has built UAVs from the ground up, and thrives in field testing just as much as in firmware development.
What You'll Do
- Architect drone systems from flight controller to payloads, telemetry, and companion compute.
- Customize and tune ArduPilot firmware for performance, autonomy, and reliability.
- Lead a small team of engineers and oversee projects from client briefing to final flight test.
- Engage directly with clients to design technical solutions and quote projects.
- Own system integration, testing, documentation, and post-deployment support.
What You Bring
- 5+ years in drone development (hardware + firmware).
- Deep experience with ArduPilot, MAVLink, Mission Planner, tuning, and debugging.
- Strong in C/C++, Python, and systems integration.
- Ability to lead technically, troubleshoot across hardware and software, and manage execution.
- Bonus if you've worked with PX4, ROS, UAVCAN, or have led full-stack UAV projects.
Why Join Avetics
- Work at the intersection of autonomy, robotics, and aerospace.
- Build mission-critical drone systems that get deployed in the real world.
- Small team, real impact, no red tape.
- You'll get to lead, build, fly, and own.
