About the role

  • Integrate path planning systems with frontend visualization (Vue3/CesiumJS) and backend services (Golang/REST APIs)
  • Contribute to cloud deployment pipelines and infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement path planning algorithms that integrate atmospheric data, terrain constraints, and flight performance characteristics
  • Develop flight performance models accounting for wind, weather, and aircraft dynamics
  • Build optimization algorithms for weather-aware route planning and dynamic re-routing
  • Implement production-grade autonomy software with emphasis on reliability and real-time performance
  • 3+ years developing path planning, trajectory optimization, or flight control systems

Requirements

  • Strong understanding of UAV flight dynamics and performance modeling
  • Experience with optimization algorithms
  • 3+ années d'expérience dans le développement de systèmes de planification de trajectoire, d'optimisation ou de contrôle de vol
  • Solide compréhension de la dynamique de vol et de la modélisation des performances des UAV
  • Expérience avec les algorithmes d'optimisation
  • Compréhension des sciences atmosphériques ou de l'intégration des données météorologiques dans les systèmes de planification
  • Solide maîtrise de Python et C/C++ pour le développement d'algorithmes critiques en performance
  • Excellentes bases en ingénierie logicielle et engagement pour un code propre et maintenable
  • Expérience en tests automatisés et en conteneurisation (Docker)
  • À l'aise avec le contrôle de version (Git) et les flux de travail collaboratifs de développement
  • Volonté d'apprendre rapidement le Golang et de contribuer aux services backend
  • Volonté de contribuer au travail frontend (Vue3/CesiumJS) et aux déploiements cloud si nécessaire

Nice to have

  • Published research in path planning, motion planning, or trajectory optimization
  • Familiarity with geospatial libraries (GDAL, GeoPandas, PostGIS)
  • Understanding of airspace regulations and aviation standards
  • Strong foundation in autonomy algorithms and aerospace systems?

Skills

  • Strong proficiency in Python and C/C++ for performance-critical algorithms
  • Solid software engineering fundamentals and commitment to clean, maintainable code
  • Experience with automated testing and containerization (Docker)
  • Comfortable with version control (Git) and collaborative development workflows
  • Willingness to learn Golang quickly and contribute to backend services
  • Willingness to contribute to frontend work (Vue3/CesiumJS) and cloud deployments when needed
  • Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or related field
  • Background in meteorology, atmospheric science, or weather modeling
  • Experience with meteorological data formats (NetCDF, GRIB) and numerical weather prediction models
  • Knowledge of robotics frameworks (ROS/ROS2) or flight controllers (PX4, Ardupilot)
  • Experience with simulation environments (Gazebo, jsbSim, X-Plane)
  • Previous work in UAV, autonomous vehicles, or robotics industry
