Software Engineer – Flight Automation & Drone Integrations

Develop the software that plans, runs, and monitors autonomous inspection flights, and connect new aircraft and payloads to the system. The work spans software, hardware, and field operations: you will assess vendor interfaces, build reusable platform support, and validate changes with real aircraft.

• Build and maintain flight automation from mission planning through in-flight execution.
• Integrate drone platforms, flight controllers, and equipment such as cameras, LiDAR, and other sensors.
• Assess hardware compatibility and work with manufacturer SDKs, APIs, and technical documentation.
• Create shared tools and abstractions that support multiple aircraft platforms without repeated implementation.
• Test changes in the field alongside operations and testing colleagues; investigate issues involving telemetry, logs, radio links, or sensors.
• Contribute to architecture, safety, and reliability decisions, and own technical work from initial idea through production.

• At least three years of software development experience.
• Ability to work with SDKs and APIs, including when vendor documentation is inconsistent or incomplete.
• A careful, structured approach to testing systems where software failures can have physical consequences.
• Independence and willingness to take ownership of a technical area.
• Full professional proficiency in written and spoken Swedish and English.
• Valid category B driving licence, and willingness to work outdoors and travel for field tests.

• Experience integrating software with hardware, such as drones, cameras, sensors, embedded devices, or robotics.
• Familiarity with camera geometry, including projection, intrinsic and extrinsic calibration, and coordinate transforms.
• Experience with MAVLink or DJI SDKs; these are useful but not required.

• The role combines development with hands-on field testing and close collaboration with the people operating the system.
• The team describes its environment as high-trust and collaborative, with recurring company gatherings and an annual winter gathering abroad.
