Software Developer Laser Communication for UAVs (f/m/d)


We’re looking for a passionate Embedded Software Engineer to help bring our UAV laser terminal systems to life. If you thrive on precision, autonomy, and seeing your code take flight - literally - you’ll fit right in.


What You'll Do

  • Develop embedded real-time control software for our advanced laser terminal systems
  • Implement robust PAT algorithms including control loops, state machines, and peripheral interfaces
  • Build software for Xilinx Zynq ARM platforms, in both bare-metal and PetaLinux environments
  • Apply your knowledge of coordinate systems, pointing algorithms, and control dynamics to real-world systems
  • Participate in field and flight testing to validate system performance in challenging environments
  • Collaborate closely with hardware, optics, and systems teams to integrate, debug, and optimize the full system stack

 

What You Bring

  • MS degree in Electronics, Software Engineering, or a closely related field with at least 5 years of relevant professional experience
  • Experience in developing embedded software for laser terminals or similar precision mechatronic or optical systems
  • Solid understanding of real-time control systems, pointing/tracking algorithms, and coordinate transformations
  • Hands-on experience with FPGA-SoC platforms (preferably Xilinx Zynq)
  • Familiarity with both low-level (bare-metal) and Linux-based development workflows
  • A collaborative mindset and readiness to contribute to a fast-paced, cross-disciplinary team
  • Bonus: experience with airborne or aerospace systems


Why Join Us?

  • Shape next-gen laser communication technology with real-world impact
  • Work in a deeptech startup backed by top-tier research and strategic partners
  • Join an inspiring, international, mission-driven, agile team
  • Flat hierarchies, real ownership, and the chance to grow with us
  • A mix of lab, field, and flight testing - no two days are the same
