At Vision Aerial, we don’t build toys. We build rugged, intelligent aircraft that thrive where others fail – wildfires, solar fields, demanding research applications, and everything in between. Quite simply, we create robotics to better humanity.

• Architect and own the flight software system
• Lead full stack development and guide and manage projects from whiteboard to field deployment
• Research, prototype, and integrate new technologies – think autonomy, payloads, and other systems
• Drive new product development, balancing innovation with field-tested reliability
• Jump in with our service team when needed to diagnose mission-critical issues
• Build tools and systems that help our drones perform flawlessly in the field

• Experience with Qt/QML, UI/UX, and Android app development
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for embedded systems
• Strong proficiency in Python
• Experience with Embedded Linux
• A BS in Computer Science or equivalent hands‑on experience

• Experience with Ardu Pilot, PX4, MAVLink, or other flight control stacks
• Experience with QGround Control
• Embedded / Firmware experience
• Network protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, serial communication)

• A builder at heart — you ship, test, and iterate
• A tinkerer who sees bugs as puzzles, not problems
• A collaborator who’s as comfortable with solder smoke as software architecture
• A leader who wants ownership, not oversight

Expect autonomy, creative freedom, and shape technology that helps people accomplish greatness.
