Publications, research projects, or open-source contributions in drone autonomy , SLAM , or VIO are highly desirable. Work at the intersection of AI, photonics, and autonomous UAVs . End-to-end ownership in drone R&D , from prototype to field deployment. Access to Phoqtek Labs’ GPU and simulation infrastructure for testing and AI workloads. Opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge aerial autonomy research . Competitive startup compensation with growth.
About the Role
Phoqtek Labs is seeking an exceptional Drone Systems Engineer who possesses deep expertise across both aerial hardware design and autonomous navigation software .
The candidate will be responsible for the design, integration, and deployment of next-generation drones equipped with Visual Navigation Systems (VNS) , capable of GPS-denied operation and AI-assisted autonomy .
This is not a plug-and-play assembly role you will architect the entire system stack , from sensor fusion and flight control integration to real-time perception and control systems optimized on edge devices like NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano / Xavier .
Key Responsibilities Hardware Design & Integration
- Design, assemble, and optimize multi-rotor and fixed-wing drones , including frame selection, motor & ESC configuration, propeller dynamics, and payload balancing.
- Integrate onboard compute modules (Jetson Orin, Raspberry Pi, etc.) with PX4 or ArduPilot flight controllers (CubePilot Orange+, Pixhawk 6X, etc.).
- Develop and test power distribution systems , LiPo battery configurations , and telemetry setups (SiK, 433 / 915 MHz, etc.).
- Work on thermal management , vibration isolation , and EMI mitigation to ensure high sensor accuracy.
