UAV Communications Engineer

We are developing autonomous fixed-wing UAVs that will operate together as a swarm , communicate with each other in real time, and maintain connectivity with a Ground Control Station (GCS) hundreds to thousands of kilometers away . We are looking for an engineer with a strong understanding of wireless communication, RF systems, networking, and long-range telemetry who can help us design a reliable communication architecture for the entire UAV swarm.

This is a hands-on role involving communication-system design, hardware selection, integration, testing, network analysis, and real-world flight testing.

Working closely with our Embedded, Avionics and flight test teams you will:

Long-Range Communication: Develop reliable communication between the UAV swarm and a remote Ground Control Station over tens to hundreds of kilometers.

Network Architecture: Determine how communication should be routed across the swarm, including relay aircraft, multi-hop communication, and recovery when individual links are lost.

System Design: Select suitable radios, antennas, communication hardware, and network architecture based on range, bandwidth, latency, reliability, weight, and power constraints.

System Integration: Integrate the communication system with the aircraft avionics, autopilot, swarm software, and Ground Control Station.
