As a Senior Flight Software Engineer on the Vehicle Management Systems team, you will develop flight computer software for small drones within the Tactical Recon and Strike division. You will own sections of the flight stack end-to-end, including developing device drivers, middleware integration, control law implementation, and creating SITL and HITL test fixtures. The role involves integrating sensors into flight controller software and implementing guidance and control algorithms while mentoring junior engineers. To succeed, you must possess proficiency in C++ or Rust, experience with embedded Linux or RTOS environments, and familiarity with communication protocols like CAN, UART, SPI, and Ethernet. You will solve complex engineering problems by developing robust, modular code for mission-critical systems to improve the scalability of flight software across various aircraft platforms within a high-stakes defense technology context.
