We are an aerospace startup building unmanned aircraft systems for logistics, delivery, and emerging applications. We design, build, and fly our own aircraft. Our work spans the full stack: aerodynamic design, composite structures, flight software, and ground systems.
What you'll do
- Deep protocol engineering work: designing and implementing binary telemetry and command protocols, custom message schemas, and vehicle-side integration for a real-time bidirectional data link between aircraft and ground
- Building a custom C++/Qt desktop application for mission planning
- Real-time data pipeline design: high-frequency telemetry ingestion, state machine management, and latency-sensitive command handling
- Simulation and replay tooling
- Multi-vehicle coordination interfaces, BVLOS operational tooling, and integration with the autonomy and flight control stack
Tech stack
- C++ for the core GCS application
- Qt - the existing open-source codebase is Qt-based; you will extend it significantly
- Custom binary protocol implementation
- Python for tooling, log analysis, CI scripting, and rapid prototyping of new features
- CMake; cross-platform builds targeting Linux and Windows
- Git; comfortable working in and navigating a large existing C++ codebase
Requirements
- Strong software engineering fundamentals
- Proficient in C++ and comfortable working in a large open-source
- Experience with Qt or willingness to ramp up quickly
- Comfort with low-level protocol design
- Drone or UAV experience is a bonus
- 2–5 years of strong software experience; exceptional fresh graduates with relevant project work considered
Pay and perks
- ₹12–20 LPA (software depth and systems experience dependent)
- Housing allowance: ₹10,000–15,000/month
- Transport support (company vehicle or commute allowance)
- Health insurance: ₹5 lakh family floater
- Learning budget: ₹25,000/year
