About the Role
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Avionics Engineer with 2 to 3 years of hands-on experience in embedded hardware-software integration, driver development, and flight controller stacks for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, integrating, and testing core avionics systems, developing device drivers for onboard sensors, and bridging communication protocols between hardware components and autonomy algorithms. If you have an aerospace background and a passion for building robust drone architectures, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities
1. Driver Development & Sensor Integration
- Write, optimize, and maintain low-level board support packages (BSPs), peripheral drivers,



and sensor handling firmware in C/C++.
- Integrate diverse sensors including IMUs, magnetometers, barometers, LiDAR, GPS/GNSS, optical flow, and payloads.
- Manage low-level digital communication protocols including SPI, I2C, CAN, RS-485, and UART.

2. Avionics & Flight Control Systems
- Configure, customize, and maintain open-source and proprietary flight stacks (PX4 / ArduPilot).
- Architect and implement networked communication for ground station and onboard computers using TCP/IP, UDP, and MAVLink.
- Design and integrate onboard power distribution, safety interlocks, and fail-safe mechanisms for UAV platforms.

3. Robotics, CV & AI Integration
- Bridge avionics sensor data with onboard compute platforms using ROS / ROS2 for downstream perception and navigation tasks.
- Support image data pipelines by integrating camera interfaces and leveraging OpenCV for onboard preprocessing.
- Assist in deploy
