About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Build distributed onboard autonomy running in real time across several companion computers under tight compute and link constraints
  • Evolve multi-agent algorithms for task allocation, deconfliction, and collaborative path planning under limited bandwidth, high latency, and packet loss
  • Convert R&D algorithms into product-ready code by finding bottlenecks, handling edge cases, and ensuring deterministic, fault-tolerant behavior
  • Optimize processing time, power consumption, and data flow
  • Design resilient communications and coordination, including link-aware strategies and degraded-mode behavior when links drop
  • Build swarm explainability through intent and decision logs, human-readable reasoning traces, and post-flight analysis tools
  • Own the simulation pipeline by preparing digital twins, designing multi-drone experiments, and measuring the simulation-to-real-flight gap
  • Support field tests with the test-range team, remain available online during flights, and occasionally travel to the test site

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 4+ years building decision-making systems for robots or autonomous agents, including planners, task allocation, or behavior logic
  • Hands-on experience with multi-agent or multi-robot coordination
  • Strong Python on Linux
  • Experience with C/C++ and embedded systems highly valued
  • Solid grounding in linear algebra, control theory, probability, and numerical methods
  • Hands-on experience with simulators and digital twins
  • English at B2 or higher
  • Contributions to ArduPilot or PX4, or modified flight firmware, advantageous
  • Experience building distributed systems on edge devices, advantageous
  • Experience in defense or EW-contested environments, advantageous
  • Experience building, flying, crashing, and debugging own drones, advantageous
  • CV must be submitted in English

Benefits

Comp & perks
  • 20 paid vacation days
  • Comprehensive health insurance
  • Paid sick leave
  • Flexible working arrangements depending on operational and security requirements
  • Military reservation and other defense-sector benefits
  • Professional growth through hands-on work with advanced UAV technologies and exposure to international best practices in autonomy, CV, and ML
