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 recent features
CMake; cross-platform builds targeting Linux and Windows
Git; comfortable working in and navigating a large existing C++ codebase
Requirements
Solid 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
