Drone Engineer

In today's world of constant global security challenges, innovation in defense is no luxury. After years of budget cuts, military personnel need to train and work with inadequate and insufficient equipment. At Intelic, we're committed to creating advanced unmanned systems that deliver the intelligent, reliable equipment our defenders deserve.

We're a group of highly committed professionals building one of Europe's fastest-growing defense technology startups. We create advanced software for unmanned systems in the defense sector. As a software company at our core, we build intelligence that gives unmanned platforms the speed, coordination and reliability that critical missions demand. Our technology ensures that decisions are made with accuracy when it matters most.

Responsibilities

As a Drone Engineer, you will help to improve and maintain our drone platforms. You will:

• Develop firmware and embedded software for autonomous UAVs

• Debug and solve complex hardware-software interaction issues

• Work with the product team to understand requirements and implement new features

• Develop tools to assist in testing and debugging of UAVs

• Collaborate with external partners to integrate hardware solutions

• Assist in field testing and UAV operation (no piloting required)

Who You Are

You have experience with embedded systems and a strong understanding of how software and hardware interact. You're comfortable working with microcontrollers, sensors, and communication protocols. You have a proven track record of shipping embedded software and debugging complex hardware-software interactions.

Ideally, you:

• Have 3-5+ years of embedded systems experience

• Are proficient in C/C++

• Have knowledge of real-time operating systems (RTOS)

• Have experience with communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, serial)

• Have experience with robotics or autonomous systems

• Have experience with avionics or aerospace applications

• Are familiar with version control and software development best practices

• Have experience with hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers)

You don't need all of these skills, but we're looking for someone with strong embedded systems fundamentals who is excited to work on demanding UAV platforms.
