**The Mission: Shaping the Future of Autonomous Flight**

As part of the Eurodrone program, you will be building the "brain" of one of Europe's most advanced unmanned aerial systems. You will play a pivotal role in developing the Flight Control System (FCS) and Flight Management System (FMS) that will define the next generation of autonomous flight. This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of cutting-edge software engineering and high-stakes aerospace innovation.

**Your mission includes:**

- **Focus:** Safety-Critical Software Development for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)
- **What You Will Achieve:** In this role, your work directly impacts the safety and autonomy of the Eurodrone.
- **Embedded Implementation:** Developing and optimizing high-integrity, safety-critical code that powers flight-critical functions.
- **Model-Based Development:** Utilizing MBD workflows to design, simulate, and implement complex control laws and system behaviors.
- **Lifecycle Ownership:** Participating in the full development cycle—from architectural design and modeling to rigorous testing and verification under DO-178C standards.
- **Collaborative Innovation:** Working alongside multidisciplinary teams of aerospace and software experts to solve the unique challenges of unmanned flight.


**Who You Are**

We are looking for engineers who are passionate about high-integrity systems.

- **The Foundation**:**​** Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
- At least 3 years of professional experience in Computer Science or in a related field.
- **Embedded Expertise:** Proven experience in embedded software development (ideally C) and a deep understanding of real-time constraints.
- **Model-Based Mindset:** Experience or strong interest in Model-Based Development (MBD) workflows (e.g., ANSYS Scade or MATLAB/Simulink) to drive system design.
- **Safety-Critical Awareness:** An understanding of the rigor required for high-integrity environments (e.g., DO-178C or similar safety standards).
- **The Driver:** A proactive approach to solving complex, "unsolved" problems in the field of autonomy and flight control.
- Excellent communication skills in English (written and verbal). German language skills are a plus.


**Why Join This Team?**

- **Strategic Impact:** Work on a high-visibility, cornerstone European project (Eurodrone).
- **Technical Challenge:** Tackle some of the most sophisticated software engineering problems in the aerospace industry.
- **Growth Culture:** We don't just hire for what you know today; we invest in your ability to master the technologies of tomorrow.
- **Innovation at Scale:** Join a team where your code directly enables the future of autonomous flight.
