About The Position

The Systems Engineer is responsible for developing and integrating unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAV”) with software solutions. This position requires a broad set of skills across engineering disciplines, knowledge of communication protocols and experience with power systems.

Requirements

Strong understanding of system integration across electrical, mechanical, and software domains
Hands-on experience building, integrating, and testing multirotor or FPV drone systems
Experience working with cross-functional teams (EE, ME, and software) in a product development environment
Familiarity with embedded systems and hardware/software integration
Experience with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, and MAVLink
Understanding of power systems, grounding, EMI/EMC considerations, and system-level interactions
Experience integrating third-party hardware and software systems (sensors, radios, payloads, SDKs, APIs)
Ability to develop and execute system-level test plans (bench and flight testing)
Strong troubleshooting skills across hardware, firmware, and system interactions
Experience analyzing logs and telemetry for system performance and debugging
Ability to support development from prototype through validation and iteration
Familiarity with flight control stacks (e.g., PX4, ArduPilot, Betaflight, INAV)
Experience with system configuration, tuning, and integration within these ecosystems
Ability to interface systems with embedded software environments (Linux-based systems, RTOS, or companion computers)
Experience using tools such as Git for version control and working with technical documentation
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or related field) or equivalent practical experience
3+ years of experience in systems engineering, UAVs, robotics, or embedded systems
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative development environment
Compelling work ethic and attitudinal awareness around “getting the job done right”
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail in system integration
Ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Strong aptitude for root cause analysis and troubleshooting
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines

Nice To Haves
