About the Role As a Senior Software Engineer in the N3XT team you will play a key role in developing Quantum-Systems’ next generation of groundbreaking UxS and C-UxS platforms. Your main responsibility will be to design and implement high-performance, resource-efficient software and algorithms for autonomous systems. From initial concept to production-ready solutions, you will ensure robust architecture, code quality, and technical excellence. Based in Gilching, you’ll work closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and specialists, following an agile and methodical approach. What is Your Day-to-Day Mission? Conceve and implement and optimize algorithms for autonomous UxS and C-UxS systems, including control loops, signal processing, and dynamic modeling. Analyze complex system behaviors and translate them into reliable software solutions. Develop high-performance, resource-efficient software in C++ (preferred) or Rust/Julia/C. Own tasks end-to-end: from concept to delivery with minimal supervision. Design robust, maintainable architectures for production-grade autonomous platforms. What You Bring to the Team Works independently: understands tasks, structures them clearly, and delivers working results. Writes fast, clean, resource-efficient code; performance is a core focus. Strong in C++ (preferred) or Rust/Julia/C; experienced in performance tuning and systems programming. Experience with autonomous systems and common autopilot software (PX4, Ardupilot, iNav, Betaflight) is a major plus. Familiar with control loops, signal processing, and dynamic systems; simulation experience is a plus. Quality-driven: testing, CI/CD, code reviews, and documentation are standard practice. Proven track record building production-grade, maintainable software with robust architecture. Methodical and precise: improves unclear processes, works analytically with technical depth. Understands complex system behavior and translates it into software. Why Join Quantum-Systems? Be at the forefront of next-generation UAV innovation.
