Software Engineer – UAV / Real-Time Systems

Stack

Responsibilities

• ▹Develop robust software in C++ and Python for real UAV systems
• ▹Work on flight dynamics and control systems
• ▹Develop and improve state estimation and sensor fusion algorithms
• ▹Integrate software into real hardware systems and support flight tests
• ▹Work with robotics middleware and distributed systems (ROS 2 is a big plus)
• ▹Build and use real-time simulation environments for development and validation
• ▹Test your systems directly together with hardware in the field
• ▹Work closely with other engineers on interceptor and launch systems

Requirements

• ▹Solid fundamentals in C++ and Python
• ▹Understanding of robust, near-real-time systems
• ▹First experience or strong interest in flight dynamics and control systems
• ▹Knowledge of state estimation / sensor fusion
• ▹Experience with robotics software, ideally ROS 2 (a plus, not a must)
• ▹Interest in UAV, robotics or comparable systems
• ▹Structured, clean way of working and technical ambition
• ▹Teamwork and enjoyment of iterative, fast development

Nice to have

• ▹Experience with simulations and hardware integration

Soft skills

What we offer

• ▹Your software really flies, not just in simulation
• ▹Direct influence on autonomous flight and interceptor systems
• ▹Work on highly critical systems with real hardware
• ▹Very short development cycles: build, test, fly, improve
• ▹Ownership of central parts of the autonomy and control stack
• ▹VC-backed setup focused on product, not bureaucracy
• ▹Very experienced engineering team in the UAV field

About the company

THYRA is a VC-backed deep-tech startup in the counter-UAS field. Its systems already fly and it has completed first successful demos; now the focus is on developing and stabilizing its platforms and building new systems from scratch.
