(Senior) Autonomous Flight Software Engineer (m/f/d)

Job description

Deine Aufgaben: Design and refine Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) algorithms for UAV platforms, including state estimation and control strategies. Enhance the flight stack to improve autonomy, robustness, and performance, while contributing to scalable system architecture. Implement and optimize control software on RTOS-based embedded platforms and MCUs, ensuring deterministic real-time performance, efficient resource usage, and system stability. Support architectural trade-offs across performance, power, safety, and scalability. Develop and tune multi-sensor fusion pipelines (e.g., IMU, GPS, perception sensors) to deliver accurate and reliable state estimation. Support verification activities aligned with standards such as DO-178C, including requirements-based testing, SIL/HIL, simulation, and flight test support, contributing to certification objectives. Contribute to CI pipelines, static analysis, automated testing, and code reviews. Maintain clear technical documentation and design specifications to ensure long-term maintainability. - Flight Control & Autonomy Development - Embedded Real-Time Systems - Sensor Fusion & Interfaces - Verification & Validation - CI/CD, Qual...
