Exciting opportunity to work for a group that has a new product and start up business looking for a Hardware/Software Engineer who likes to push boundaries. You will have a degree or similar discipline with a minimum of one to two years exposure in low-level, hardware orientated C/C++ developer, used to working in a memory-constrained multiple micro-controller environment overseen by small, low-powered computers such as miniature ARM based Linux systems.
The position involves hardware prototyping of multiple sensors and computing devices: the collection, processing and analysis of many data sources for UAV flight control and for flight and mission monitoring and command.
You will be comfortable with rapid prototyping and iteration of different systems as well as working with large amounts of real-time data.
You'll be self-motivated and able to get your hands dirty with a large pile of sensor systems and real flying devices. You will have a degree or equivalent experience in a relevant subject such as maths, computer science or electronic engineering or similar with a minimum of one years experience within a similar role.
Key requirements include:
• C++/C development in a real-time, memory constrained environment: Arduino type environments and ARM based small Linux computers, for example.
• Electronic engineering: prototyping of multiple sensors, such as GPS, GSM and Gyroscopes, wiring and writing software to gather and process sensor data.
• The maths for 3D positioning, navigation and flight control: this is real software controlling real hardware.
• Secure communication of processed sensor data to command server and receiving and processing of data from that server (JSON, REST).
If you believe you can be part of a new generation of UAV flight control systems, from the hardware design and prototyping to the software implementation and testing, please apply with a covering letter that covers and matches the above requirements
