Senior Software Engineer - Edge
Airobotics is building the next generation of autonomous drone systems, enabling scalable aerial operations for industrial, security, and critical infrastructure environments.
We are establishing a new Edge Applications team within our Software R&D department, focused on developing high-performance applications that run directly on drone and edge computing platforms. These applications bridge real-world robotics, autonomy, AI, and mission-critical operational workflows.
As a Software Developer on the team, you will design and build software components that operate close to the hardware and real-time systems powering autonomous drones. You will work across embedded edge environments, communication systems, AI pipelines, mission logic and operational tooling.
This is a hands-on engineering role with strong impact on product architecture, system capabilities and future platform evolution
What We Offer
- Opportunity to shape a new strategic engineering team from the ground up
- Work on cutting-edge autonomous aerial systems deployed in real-world operational environments
- High ownership, technical challenges, and direct impact on product direction
- Collaborative and multidisciplinary engineering culture
- Dynamic startup environment with advanced technological challenges
Responsibilities
- Design and develop edge applications running on autonomous drone platforms and edge computing devices
- Build reliable, scalable, and high-performance software for real-time operational environments
- Develop integrations between onboard systems, AI modules, sensors, and mission-control platforms
- Optimize software for constrained compute, network, and power environments
- Collaborate closely with autonomy, embedded, AI, DevOps, and product teams
- Participate in architecture discussions and technical decision-making for the new platform
- Debug and resolve complex system-level and distributed operational issues
- Contribute to software quality through testing, code reviews, CI/CD, and engineering best practices
