What you’ll work on
Implementing algorithms like guidance laws (e.g. proportional navigation), delayed Kalman filters, and ego-motion compensation using IMU data.
Integrating these algorithms into real-time drone systems.
Working closely with CV specialists to fuse vision and navigation data.
Getting into the weeds of drone telemetry and comms.
Prototyping, testing, and iterating fast—both in a simulation and on hardware.
What we’re looking for
Strong background in mathematics and control theory.
Solid understanding of flight dynamics, state estimation, and guidance.
Ability to translate theory into working, performant code (Python required; C++ a plus).
Hands-on mindset—comfortable debugging algorithms in the field, not just behind a desk.
Nice to have
Practical experience with drones, telemetry, and comms systems.
Background in aerospace, robotics, or defense tech.
Experience with simulation frameworks.
Startup experience or willingness to dive in.
Why join us?
You’ll be part of a small team taking algorithms from paper to the sky. This isn’t theoretical research—you’ll see your work fly (literally). The challenges are hard, the constraints are real, and the impact is immediate. If you want stability and predictability, this won’t be your thing. If you want to push yourself on problems that matter, let’s talk.
The application process
Our application process consists of three short rounds, including a technical assessment that is respectful of your time. After three rounds, we hope to extend you a great offer. We aim to hire quickly to match the pace of our changing world.
