Description
About The Opportunity Operating at the cutting edge of Aerospace & Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) , our Mobility Solutions division engineers next-generation ground-control hardware and software that connect autonomous aircraft to operators across complex environments. From mission-planning GUIs to secure telemetry links, we tackle real-time challenges where reliability, safety, and intuitive UX converge. Role & Responsibilities Co-develop ground-control software and workstation hardware for mission planning, telemetry monitoring, and command-and-control of multi-rotor and fixed-wing UAV fleets. Integrate GCS with avionics, nav-systems, and SATCOM/RF links, collaborating closely with flight-control, payload, and networking teams to ensure seamless data flow. Write, debug, and unit-test code in C/C++, Python, or Java; contribute to modular architectures that scale from desktop to ruggedized field stations. Configure, calibrate, and troubleshoot ground stations for lab, field-test, and customer demos, documenting best-practice deployment playbooks. Author and execute verification plans (SIL/HIL, regression, environmental) to validate performance, safety, and airworthiness compliance under diverse conditions. Analyse flight-test data to uncover issues, drive root-cause analysis, and recommend design or process improvements. Skills & Qualifications Must-Have Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Aerospace, Electronics, Robotics, or related discipline. 3-6 yrs experience building or testing ground-control stations, mission-planning software, or real-time operator consoles for UAVs or similar robotics. Proficiency in C/C++ or Python plus familiarity with version control and CI/CD pipelines. Working knowledge of telemetry protocols (MAVLink, DDS, RTPS) and networking fundamentals (UDP/TCP, QoS). Hands-on experience with simulation tools (e.g., Gazebo, X-Plane, MATLAB/Simulink) and basic flight-dynamics principles. Strong troubleshooting skills across Linux/Windows OS, embedded hardware, and RF/antenna setups. Preferred Exposure to airworthiness or safety standards (DO-178C, DO-330, DO-331). Experience integrating payload sensors (ISR, EO/IR, LIDAR) and autonomous mission workflows. Familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes for containerised GCS deployments. Prior participation in flight-test campaigns and post-mission data analytics. Knowledge of JavaFX, Qt, or React-based UIs for operator consoles. Certifications in drone pilot licensing or regulatory compliance (DGCA, FAA Part 107).
