About The Position

Evolved Aerospace develops mission-critical aerospace systems designed for real operational use. We combine autonomy, software, sensing, and systems integration to deliver capability that performs in contested and constrained environments — not just in test settings. Our work is guided by a simple principle: platforms are means, not the objective. Mission outcomes define success.

Requirements

• C++ (embedded, real-time)
• PX4 or ArduPilot internals
• Control systems (PID, EKF fundamentals)
• MAVLink protocol
• Firmware debugging and tuning

Responsibilities

• Own development inside PX4/ArduPilot, building and tuning flight-critical behaviours for autonomous aircraft operating in complex environments.
• Develop custom PX4 / ArduPilot modules
• Implement guidance, landing, and safety-critical logic
• Tune controllers, rate loops, and estimators
• Integrate perception and state-estimation outputs
• Design and validate emergency fallback modes
• Support SITL/HITL and real flight testing
