As a UAV Flight Testing Technician, you will be at the centre of bringing our autonomy solutions into the real world. You will work hands-on with drone hardware, integrate onboard systems, and deploy software onto real UAV platforms — from agile FPV drones to large fixed-wing aircraft. This role is ideal for someone who loves making physical systems work, thrives in the field, and enjoys solving problems with a combination of practical engineering, Linux skills, and methodical testing. You will become the critical link between our autonomy stack and the aircraft it controls.
Job Responsibility:
Be a key member of the deployment team responsible for deploying autonomy solutions across diverse UAV platforms
Work hands-on with UAV hardware: assembling, wiring, debugging, and preparing platforms for field deployment
Travel to partner sites, including international locations, to work on-site and ensure the solutions function reliably in demanding real-world conditions ("in the dirt")
Integrate and test full-stack autonomy solutions on partner platforms, often in close collaboration with partner engineering teams
Provide structured and actionable feedback to the product development team, based on observations from field tests and operational flights
Contribute to improving interfaces between autonomy algorithms and flight controllers, helping shape a more robust deployment pipeline
Requirements:
Strong proficiency of working in a fully terminal-based Linux environment, shell scripting for automation and deployment tasks, Linux file system and command-line tools, and debugging system-level issues using the Linux terminal
Compile and cross-compile C++-based user applications for ARM64 embedded systems (Jetson, Raspberry Pi, etc.)
Manage systemd services, boot configurations, and secure shell access for headless edge devices
Solid understanding of UAV components and hardware, including battery management and practical electronics, with hands-on experience. Ideally you have built, flown, and debugged a drone yourself
Proven experience working with drone flight controllers such as Ardupilot or PX4
A willingness to pick up and learn new concepts quickly and to self-acquire missing background knowledge
Adaptability under unforeseen circumstances and ability to think and act under pressure
A high degree of autonomy, determination and grit in making cool tech work
Demonstrated ownership in work assigned to you, while taking initiative to drive improvements that benefit the wider team
Being comfortable with regular travels in the EU region, often over extended durations (around 3 weeks)
Full time availability (40 hours)
Nice to have:
Practical experience building and deploying Docker containers
Experience of Python or C++ development
Drones pilot license or willingness to acquire one upon joining the team
What we offer:
25 vacation days per year
Reimbursed travel expenses and company laptop
Traveling abroad to work with our partners
(Really) flexible working hours and option to work from home 2 days per week (when not abroad)
Working in an international, world-class team of engineers and entrepreneurs solving real-life problems with amazing technology
Large freedom in how you work and implement solutions, project ownership is incredibly important to us
The opportunity to take technical risks, to implement stuff the ‘right’ way and to iterate quickly with tight feedback loops. We are innovating, learning is to be expected
Responsibility over the things you implement, you are the expert on what you build
