This work carries weight. Whether you are developing lasers or managing our team and processes, your work directly supports the technological sovereignty and defense of Lithuania and Europe.

IN THIS POSITION, YOU’LL

• System Integration: Combine camera feeds, sensors, electronics and laser control into a single processing unit;
• Embedded Processing: Work with Linux-based and RTOS-based embedded platforms (Jetson, Raspberry Pi, NXP) to process image streams, compress video, and optimize real-time performances;
• Video Transmission & Networking: Define and implement low-latency, reliable transmission protocols to a ground station;
• User Interface Development: Develop a desktop-based UI for operators to control cameras, laser systems, and sensor/electronics functions;
• Optimization & Future Growth: Assess and propose better processing architectures (e.g., FPGA-based) for future iterations.

ABOUT YOU

• Programming Languages: C, C++ (for real-time low-latency solutions), alternatively Python or C#;
• Embedded Systems Architecture: Experience with modern embedded hardware architectures (e.g., ARM Cortex-A, Cortex-M, Cortex-R) and software systems (Bare Metal, RTOS, Linux);
• Networking & Video Streaming: Understanding of real-time data transmission, processing, encoding, and low-latency networking protocols;
• UI Development: Ability to create desktop applications that interface with hardware and provide intuitive operator controls;
• Systems-Oriented: Capable of designing scalable and efficient solutions;
• Fast Learner & Problem Solver: Enjoys taking ownership and finding practical, efficient solutions.
