Most drones fall out of the sky. Born out of cutting edge research at TU Dresden, we've already flown our system under active jamming conditions and proven it works. Now we're going from prototype to product, and we need exceptional engineers to make it happen.
This is a rare chance to join at the ground floor of a deep tech startup solving one of the hardest problems in autonomous systems. You'll write code that flies (literally) and see it tested on real hardware within days, not quarters. If you're excited by computer vision, robotics, and building things that matter, keep reading. You'll work directly with the three co-founders, Justus Rischke, Christian Vielhaus, and Johannes Hofer, all from TU Dresden's Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks.
You'll own core parts of the navigation stack from computer vision pipelines to real flight tests. You write code and watch it fly on hardware you helped build, within days, not quarters.
Computer vision: visual inertial odometry, SLAM, and OpenCV pipelines
Embedded Linux deployment with Docker on real UAV platforms and handhelds
Strong software engineering skills in C++ and Python; Background in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, or a related field
Solid English skills (German is a plus but not required)
Your code ships on drones, not dashboards.
Location in Dresden: one of Europe's top hubs for semiconductor, robotics, and deep tech innovation
