Key Responsibilities :

Develop, test, and optimise embedded software for UAVs and UGVs
Interface with sensors, motor controllers, and flight control systems (ArduPilot, PX4)
Integrate and deploy autonomy stacks using ROS / ROS2 on Jetson, Raspberry Pi, and other platforms
Handle real-time communication over MAVLink, SBUS, UART, I2C, SPI, CAN
Debug and test systems in field conditions alongside the integration team
Design startup scripts, watchdogs, and hardware-software fault handling logic

Collaboration with Electronics, Firmware, and Simulation Teams for Full-Stack Development

Required Skills :

Strong experience in C / C++ and Python programming languages.

Hands-on experience with ROS / ROS2 for navigation, SLAM, VIO, URDF, TF, and other functionalities.
