Autonomous Flight Software Engineer

Main Responsibilities

• Develop advanced algorithms to enhance autonomous navigation in Unmanned systems in complex environments (e.g., static/dynamic obstacles, IMU or telecom interference, degraded GNSS).
• Develop and implement sensor fusion and SLAM algorithms for precise and safe navigation.
• Use AI/ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, OpenCV, etc.) to build deep learning algorithms for segmentation, detection, and classification integrated into both low and high-level logic.
• Manage large datasets for training and testing models, including data labelling and processing for performance improvement.
• Conduct testing and debugging of field issues, improving system robustness and resilience.
• Create and maintain detailed technical documentation for development and system testing.
• Write code and documentation in accordance with applicable regulations and standards.
• Clearly explain technical details to clients professionally, promoting product capabilities.
