## About the role

Neros builds first-person-view drones for the modern battlefield. As a Firmware Engineer on the Flight Software team, you will build the flight-critical firmware that flies the aircraft — flight modes, control algorithms, and the vehicle-side integrations they depend on — across our entire range of products. Your work goes from code to bench to flight test, and what you ship flies in the field.

## What they're looking for

- Implement flight modes and control features — position and altitude hold, and the safety and degradation behavior around them
- Port and tune sensors and control algorithms across flight stacks (Betaflight, PX4), preserving flight feel that expert pilots depend on
- Build vehicle-side datalink and payload integrations for new platform variants
- Instrument the vehicle, run bench and flight-test iterations, and debug issues that only reproduce in flight
- Write the unit and integration tests for your firmware, partnering with our Test organization on SITL/HITL and flight-test execution
