Swarm Aero is an aerospace and defense company that develops large-scale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms to operate in coordinated drone swarms for defense, logistics, and sensing missions. Backed by Purple Arch Ventures.
About the role
Our avionics system is built and running on aircraft hardware. The work now is extending it: new sensors, new capabilities, new functions, one integration at a time, for as long as the program runs.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
- 3+ years of experience in embedded systems development, preferably in the aerospace industry
- Proficiency in C/C++ programming languages, with experience in assembly language being a plus
- Strong understanding of microcontroller and microprocessor architectures
- Experience with RTOS, such as FreeRTOS, VxWorks, or similar
