Solutions Engineer UAS / Aviation

&lt;p&gt;We’re looking for a Solutions Engineer UAS / Aviation who will play a pivotal role in the future of our company. Our Solutions Engineer will be responsible for the integration, validation, and operational readiness of Auterion-powered drone systems. You’ll collaborate closely with the production team, as well hardware engineering, firmware/software teams, and operations while ensuring that every platform transitions successfully from a physical airframe into a fully validated flying robot ready for deployment. This role is ideal for someone who lives and breathes drone technology and enjoys bridging the gap between hardware, firmware, and real-world flight performance.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Responsibilities and Duties&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Operate in a highly hands-on environment with evolving system requirements, rapidly iterating across hardware and software integration challenges&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Perform firmware flashing and configuration using PX4 and/or other autopilot&amp;nbsp; ecosystems, including sensor calibration, ESC tuning, and system bring-up&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Execute End-of-Line (EoL) software validation and functional testing to ensure production readiness and reliability&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Conduct payload and camera load-seat testing, validating integration stability and operational performance under real-world conditions&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Troubleshoot embedded system issues spanning firmware, communication interfaces, sensors, and hardware-software interactions&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Work independently to diagnose integration and flight-readiness issues while collaborating closely with engineering and manufacturing teams&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Contribute to validation workflows for complete UAV systems, including components, integrated features, and operational flight configurations&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Support full-stack drone integration activities across hardware, embedded firmware, and flight software layers&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Solve complex integration and reliability challenges involving sensors, flight controllers, communication protocols, and power systems&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Drive measurable impact on product quality, manufacturing throughput, and deployment readiness through improved validation and testing processes&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Partner cross-functionally with hardware engineering, firmware/software teams, operations, and QC engineering to accelerate batch validation and reduce EoL cycle times&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Interface with external vendors and equipment providers to support testing infrastructure, hardware integration, and operational readiness&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Participate in hands-on flight testing activities to validate platform stability, safety, and mission performance&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Qualifications and Skills&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;B.Sc. in Aviation Technology, Robotics, Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, or related field (M.Sc. optional)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Hands-on experience working with Autopilot, Mission planning and navigation Software, including firmware flashing, configuration, and flight validation&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Strong technical foundation in embedded systems, firmware debugging, and hardware-software integration&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Proficiency in C/C++ and/or MAVLink communication protocols or equivalent Datalink protocols&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Experience with UAV sensor calibration, ESC tuning, and flight controller configuration&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Familiarity with Linux-based development and debugging environments&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Experience with UAV flight testing, system validation, and troubleshooting in real-world operational environments&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Understanding of drone manufacturing, QC processes, and End-of-Line testing methodologies is a plus&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Strong collaboration and communication skills when working with cross-functional engineering and operations teams&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Ability to work independently in fast-paced environments with evolving technical challenges&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Passion for drone technology and a hands-on engineering mindset focused on building reliable flying systems&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;EU citizenship required&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Auterion&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We are building the leading software platform for AI-powered autonomous systems for enterprise and government customers.
