We are looking for an Embedded Engineer to join a non-commercial, EU-funded research project focused on developing drone and robotic systems for reconnaissance and demining operations at sea.
This is a full-time role in Romania or Germany (with possible business trips to other cities and training grounds). The project duration is 2 years, with extensive opportunities for hands-on prototyping, field testing, and real-world deployment.
This role will suit enthusiastic engineers — not necessarily Senior-level — who are eager to learn, experiment, and take part in both software/hardware development and practical assembly & field testing of drones. Final-year university students with relevant experience are also welcome to apply.
Requirements
- Experience in developing drone systems and robotic platforms from concept to implementation
- Knowledge of UAV/USV hardware, sensors, autopilot missions, and control algorithms (e.g., MAVLink, Ardupilot)
- Skills in prototyping and electronics troubleshooting, with the ability to solve problems on-site
- Understanding of wireless communication protocols and network solutions
- Technical leadership experience and teamwork skills
- Collaboration and communication with project stakeholders
- Attention to detail, practical approach, and focus on reliable results
- Understanding of AI/ML principles for perception and decision-making solutions
- Familiarity with navigation principles (GNSS, ToF, etc.)
- Fluent in Ukrainian (spoken and written)
Responsibilities
- Develop software and hardware for UAV/USV systems from concept to working prototypes
- Assemble and test drones, participate in field training at test sites and military polygons
- Ensure perimeter demining and reconnaissance support using AI and drone technologies
- Troubleshoot and prototype electronics, ensuring robustness of systems in real-world conditions
- Collaborate with project beneficiaries and research partners
- Contribute to knowledge-sharing and support within the engineering team
