Overview
🚀 Ground Control Software Engineer (Aerospace \| Autonomous Flight Systems)
We’re partnering with an innovative engineering team building next-generation electric flight and autonomous aerial systems, and they’re looking for a Ground Control Software Engineer to help shape how these vehicles are monitored, controlled, and operated from the ground.
This role centres on developing sophisticated operator-facing software platforms that act as the command hub for advanced aircraft handling real-time telemetry, mission planning, and system health monitoring in safety-critical environments.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Design and build ground-based control software for real-time monitoring and command of autonomous aircraft
- Develop interfaces for telemetry visualisation, mission planning, and vehicle interaction
- Implement reliable communication between airborne systems and ground infrastructure
- Collaborate with avionics, flight control, and systems teams for seamless integration
- Support verification and validation activities across simulation and live test environments
What They’re Looking For
- Strong experience in real-time or safety-critical software development (aerospace, robotics, or similar)
- Proficiency in C++, Qt/QML, and modern UI frameworks
- Experience with telemetry systems, networking protocols, and control interfaces
- Familiarity with certification-driven development processes, including DO-178C
- Strong cross-functional collaboration and problem-solving skills
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work on cutting-edge electric aviation platforms shaping the future of mobility
- Build systems that directly impact flight operations, safety, and autonomy
- Join a highly technical, mission-driven team pushing boundaries in aerospace innovation
- If you're passionate about software that connects humans to advanced autonomous systems, this is a unique opportunity to make a real impact.
