Firmware & Flight Control Engineer

Job description

About the Role

We are an early-stage deep-tech startup building proprietary autonomous systems that integrate robotics, embedded computing, intelligent sensing, and advanced control technologies.

We are seeking a Firmware & Flight Control Engineer who is passionate about building reliable real-time systems and wants to work hands-on across firmware, motion control, sensors, and autonomous operation.

We welcome strong fresh graduates with demonstrated expertise through meaningful robotics, embedded, drone, or control-system projects.

Details of our specific product and technology will be shared progressively during the selection process.

Role & responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware and real-time control software.
• Develop and tune control loops, PID controllers, and motion-control systems.
• Interface and integrate sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, and other embedded hardware.
• Develop safety, fault-handling, and recovery mechanisms for reliable autonomous operation.
• Integrate low-level firmware and control systems with companion computers and higher-level autonomy software.
• Conduct bench testing, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, and field testing.
• Analyse logs, troubleshoot failures, and identify root causes of system-level issues.
• Continuously improve system stability, reliability, performance, and robustness.

Preferred Candidate Profile

• Strong programming skills in C/C++.
• Solid understanding of embedded systems and real-time computing.
• Good fundamentals in control systems, feedback mechanisms, and PID tuning.
• Hands-on experience with microcontrollers and hardware-level debugging.
• Understanding of sensor interfacing, data acquisition, and sensor integration.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Exposure to PX4, ArduPilot, MAVLink, ROS/ROS2, or RTOS will be an added advantage.
• Fresh graduates with strong hands-on projects in robotics, drones, embedded systems, autonomous systems, or control engineering are encouraged to apply.

Why Join Us?

• Work in a high-ownership, early-stage deep-tech environment.
• Build technology that combines hardware, firmware, robotics, and autonomous systems.
• Opportunity to develop proprietary technology from the ground up.
• Work on challenging real-world engineering problems with visible technical impact.
• Collaborate directly with the founders and technical leadership team.
• Gain broad, hands-on exposure and accelerate your growth as an autonomous-systems engineer.
