Software Engineer, Robotics & Integration

THE ROLE
Our software flies drones in combat, not in demos, not in simulations, but in the field, every day. eyesAtop builds the operating system for multi-drone warfare: one platform that lets a single operator command an entire fleet in real time.

We are looking for a Software Engineer, Robotics & Integration to help turn advanced drones, sensors, payloads, and third-party technologies into reliable, field-ready capabilities that operators can trust.
You will work across the full integration stack, from flight controller protocols and embedded device communication through to the Android control app that operators depend on in the field.
You will own integrations end to end, from first connection to deployed capability.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
Integrate robotic platforms, payloads, sensors, and external software into the eyesAtop platform

Write production-quality code across Java (backend services), C++ (MAVLink and flight controller integration), and Python (scripting and tooling)

Build and maintain the Android control application, the operator's primary interface for commanding drone fleets in the field

Integrate flight controllers and drone subsystems using MAVLink and PX4, bridging low-level hardware behavior with operator-facing software

Debug across software, networking, devices, APIs, field behavior, and operator workflows

Test in simulation, lab, and field environments

Work directly with vendors, pilots, hardware engineers, and product teams

Own integrations end to end, from first connection to deployed capability

REQUIREMENTS
M.Sc. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience with robotics, autonomous systems, drones, or embedded platforms

3+ years of software development experience with strong skills in Java, C++, Python, or similar languages

Experience with Linux, networking, APIs, serial protocols, devices, or distributed systems

Familiarity with real-time systems, control loops, or embedded platforms

Comfort working close to hardware, even without a dedicated hardware engineering background

STRONG FIT IF
You are familiar with drone flight stacks (PX4, ArduPilot, Betaflight, or similar) and MAVLink-based communication

You have experience with drones, robotics, embedded systems, autonomy, defense, or field-tested systems

You've worked with embedded platforms such as STM32, ESP32, Jetson, or similar

You've led technical work or owned complex integrations end to end
