Senior Guidance Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Guidance Engineer to play a critical role in the development of next-generation drone platforms.

This position focuses heavily on guidance and mission-level decision-making for high-performance aerial systems operating in dynamic, real-world environments.

You will design and deploy guidance and motion planning algorithms that enable precise, high-speed maneuvers and complex mission execution. This role blends analytical rigor with creativity, tackling problems that often have no textbook solutions. You’ll collaborate closely with hardware, embedded software, and perception teams to bring advanced autonomy from concept to flight.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and optimize guidance and motion planning algorithms for autonomous drones

Define mission-level behaviors and guidance logic, balancing performance, safety, and robustness

Implement real-time control interfaces to execute trajectories reliably in uncertain conditions

Work closely with embedded software, mechatronics, and perception teams to ensure seamless integration

Identify and address edge cases and failure modes, building resilience and graceful degradation

Stay current with advancements in drone autonomy, guidance, motion planning, and control

Requirements

BSc or MSc in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related engineering fields.

3+ years of experience in GNC, guidance, autonomy, or related aerospace/robotics fields

Strong experience with AI tools, guidance algorithms, trajectory generation, and motion planning

Solid understanding of system-level constraints affecting real-world aerial platforms

Hands-on experience with real-world drone development, debugging, and iteration

Strong collaboration skills across software, hardware, and deployment teams

A creative, problem-solving mindset with a passion for advanced aerial missions
