Networking: Middleware and messaging protocols (ROS2).
Data: Data pipelines

Notes & Specifics

Architecture

Architect and develop a scalable, Linux-based Command and Control (C2) platform to supervise and command autonomous swarm systems. Experience building Common Operating Picture (COP) software or modern defense tech platforms (e.g., Lattice-style sensor fusion and asset management) is highly desirable.

Swarm operation

Design the overarching swarm command interfaces and state machines. You will build the backend logic that translates high-level operator commands (e.g., 'form a perimeter', 'search this sector') into distributed tasks for the edge autonomy stacks to execute.

Networks

Develop high-performance, low-latency networking architectures in modern C++ and Python on Linux. Must have deep expertise in distributed messaging systems (ROS2) and handling telemetry over degraded or low-bandwidth networks.

Sensor fusion

Build resilient data pipelines to ingest, time-sync, and process external sensor data (Radar, Vision) and MAVLink telemetry from the edge nodes into a unified system state.

Operator UI

Design and build the real-time operator interface for swarm supervision. Must have experience visualizing high-throughput geospatial and telemetry data without performance degradation. Familiarity with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Vue) and geospatial/3D rendering tools (e.g., CesiumJS, Mapbox, or WebGL) is highly preferred.

Specifics

Design and develop a high-performance, native Linux desktop application for real-time swarm supervision. Extensive experience with C++ GUI frameworks (e.g., Qt/QML) or similar native toolkits is required to smoothly render low-latency geospatial data, radar tracks, and continuous swarm telemetry.

Electronics engineer

ELECTRONICS Engineer

This position may require, Working on:

Schematic capture, PCB layout and DFM for flight controllers, power distribution boards, sensor interface boards and RF coexistence layouts.
Work through high-speed design constraints, impedance control, EMI/EMC mitigation and thermal considerations for small airframes.
Component selection, bill-of-materials optimisation and supplier engagement for prototype runs.
PCB bring-up, power sequencing tests, PMIC integration and bench validation for motor controllers and sensor subsystems.
Firmware interfacing support for microcontroller/FPGA boards (bootstrapping, UART/SPI/I2C bring-up).
Produce assembly files, test jigs, and post-production validation scripts.
Coordinate with mechanical and systems engineers to ensure electrical fit, mass budget and vibration survivability.

AI Engineer

2. AI Engineer - Computer Vision & Perception

Computer Vision: Develop and optimize real-time 3D object detection, segmentation, and tracking algorithms.
Spatial Perception: Implement camera calibration, stereo vision, and high-accuracy depth estimation pipelines.
Model Acceleration: Oversee model training and deployment with hardware acceleration using CUDA and TensorRT.
Frameworks: Utilize PyTorch for large-scale model training and streamlined production deployment.
Edge Optimization: Deploy and optimize vision models for NVIDIA Jetson and specialized embedded platforms.
Sensor Fusion: Collaborate on multi-modal fusion algorithms combining camera streams and radar data.

AI Notes

-
Proper Python skills; has worked with pytorch before.
-
Decent with building novel/foundational models (theoretical knowledge) rather than just application based AI model building/usage. Most important: should have good architectural knowledge than just to train models.
-
Build a system which fulfills an end purpose rather than using AI for the sake of using; meaning if something can be built better or similar without the use of AI, then he should not go for AI.
-
Has proper tooling experience/knowledge.
-
Having basic computer vision knowledge is a must.
-
Should be comfortable with deployment, basic low-level and hardware knowledge is a must.
-
Should be decent with data.
