Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain Ground Control Station software for monitoring and commanding eVTOL systems.
• Implement functionality for telemetry reception, processing, and visualization of aircraft state and system data.
• Develop vehicle command and control interfaces enabling operators to safely interact with airborne systems.
• Design and implement mission planning and execution tools to support operational flight scenarios.
• Implement health monitoring and status visualization features for aircraft subsystems and avionics components.
• Take end-to-end responsibility for GCS software requirements, architecture, and implementation, ensuring alignment with system-level requirements.
• Support software verification activities in accordance with applicable certification processes (e.g., DO-178C), including maintaining traceability between requirements, design, code, and tests.
• Design and implement communication interfaces with airborne systems, including protocols such as MAVLink, UDP/TCP, and telemetry links.
• Integrate GCS software with flight control systems, avionics networks, and vehicle communication infrastructure.
• Support software integration and validation activities using simulation environments, Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test setups.
• Assist with ground testing and flight test operations by supporting GCS software deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degree preferred.
• Minimum of 6–10 years of experience in software development for ground control systems, UAV/UAS, aerospace systems, or similar real-time control environments.
• Demonstrated experience developing Ground Control Station or operator interface software for monitoring and commanding autonomous or remotely operated vehicles.
• Proficiency in modern software development languages and tools commonly used for GCS applications (e.g. C++, Qt/QML, or full stack development or other GUI frameworks).
• Familiarity with software development processes used in safety-critical systems, including traceability and verification practices aligned with DO-178C or comparable standards.
• Strong experience in implementing telemetry reception, command interfaces, mission planning tools, and system monitoring dashboards.
• Experience designing and implementing communication protocols with airborne systems, including MAVLink, UDP/TCP networking, and telemetry data links.
• Strong problem-solving, system integration, and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills, with the ability to work closely with flight control, avionics, and test teams.
