Embedded Engineer

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
