Uav Systems Engineer
The UAV industry is a fast-paced and constantly evolving market in which Lumenier is a key player.
The Systems Engineer is responsible for developing and integrating unmanned aerial vehicles ("UAV") with software solutions. This position requires a broad set of skills across engineering disciplines, knowledge of communication protocols and experience with power systems.
To perform at a high level, the Systems Engineer ideal candidate would have the following capabilities and skills:
- Strong understanding of system integration across electrical, mechanical, and software domains
- Hands-on experience building, integrating, and testing multirotor or FPV drone systems
- Experience working with cross-functional teams (EE, ME, and software) in a product development environment
- Familiarity with embedded systems and hardware/software integration
- Experience with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, and MAVLink
- Understanding of power systems, grounding, EMI/EMC considerations, and system-level interactions
- Experience integrating third-party hardware and software systems (sensors, radios, payloads, SDKs, APIs)
- Ability to develop and execute system-level test plans (bench and flight testing)
- Strong troubleshooting skills across hardware, firmware, and system interactions
- Experience analyzing logs and telemetry for system performance and debugging
- Ability to support development from prototype through validation and iteration
- Familiarity with flight control stacks (e.g., PX4, ArduPilot, Betaflight, INAV)
- Experience with system configuration, tuning, and integration within these ecosystems
- Ability to interface systems with embedded software environments (Linux-based systems, RTOS, or companion computers)
- Experience using tools such as Git for version control and working with technical documentation
The ideal candidate would also have experience with the following ("nice to have"):
- Experience with drone, robotics, or aerospace systems
- Familiarity with mechanical integration constraints (mounting, vibration, thermal considerations)
- Experience with RF systems (video transmission, antennas, telemetry)
- Experience integrating companion computers or onboard compute (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi)
- Basic scripting or programming (Python, C/C++)
- Experience supporting prototype builds through production or field deployment
