Solutions Engineer

<p>We’re looking for a Solutions Engineer UAS / Aviation who will play a pivotal role in the future of our company. Our Solutions Engineer will be responsible for the integration, validation, and operational readiness of Auterion-powered drone systems. You’ll collaborate closely with the production team, as well hardware engineering, firmware/software teams, and operations while ensuring that every platform transitions successfully from a physical airframe into a fully validated flying robot ready for deployment. This role is ideal for someone who lives and breathes drone technology and enjoys bridging the gap between hardware, firmware, and real-world flight performance.</p>

<p><strong>Responsibilities and Duties</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Operate in a highly hands-on environment with evolving system requirements, rapidly iterating across hardware and software integration challenges</li>

<li>Perform firmware flashing and configuration using PX4 and/or other autopilot&nbsp; ecosystems, including sensor calibration, ESC tuning, and system bring-up</li>

<li>Execute End-of-Line (EoL) software validation and functional testing to ensure production readiness and reliability</li>

<li>Conduct payload and camera load-seat testing, validating integration stability and operational performance under real-world conditions</li>

<li>Troubleshoot embedded system issues spanning firmware, communication interfaces, sensors, and hardware-software interactions</li>

<li>Work independently to diagnose integration and flight-readiness issues while collaborating closely with engineering and manufacturing teams</li>

<li>Contribute to validation workflows for complete UAV systems, including components, integrated features, and operational flight configurations</li>

<li>Support full-stack drone integration activities across hardware, embedded firmware, and flight software layers</li>

<li>Solve complex integration and reliability challenges involving sensors, flight controllers, communication protocols, and power systems</li>

<li>Drive measurable impact on product quality, manufacturing throughput, and deployment readiness through improved validation and testing processes</li>

<li>Partner cross-functionally with hardware engineering, firmware/software teams, operations, and QC engineering to accelerate batch validation and reduce EoL cycle times</li>

<li>Interface with external vendors and equipment providers to support testing infrastructure, hardware integration, and operational readiness</li>

<li>Participate in hands-on flight testing activities to validate platform stability, safety, and mission performance</li>

</ul>

<p><strong>Qualifications and Skills</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>B.Sc. in Aviation Technology, Robotics, Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, or related field (M.Sc. optional)</li>

<li>Hands-on experience working with Autopilot, Mission planning and navigation Software, including firmware flashing, configuration, and flight validation</li>

<li>Strong technical foundation in embedded systems, firmware debugging, and hardware-software integration</li>

<li>Proficiency in C/C++ and/or MAVLink communication protocols or equivalent Datalink protocols</li>

<li>Experience with UAV sensor calibration, ESC tuning, and flight controller configuration</li>

<li>Familiarity with Linux-based development and debugging environments</li>

<li>Experience with UAV flight testing, system validation, and troubleshooting in real-world operational environments</li>

<li>Understanding of drone manufacturing, QC processes, and End-of-Line testing methodologies is a plus</li>

<li>Strong collaboration and communication skills when working with cross-functional engineering and operations teams</li>

<li>Ability to work independently in fast-paced environments with evolving technical challenges</li>

<li>Passion for drone technology and a hands-on engineering mindset focused on building reliable flying systems</li>

<li>EU citizenship required&nbsp;</li>

</ul>
