Firmware Engineer - Flight Software
Job description
Neros is a defense technology company rebuilding America’s drone industrial base. We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale. Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment.
Job responsibilities
- Implement flight modes and control features — position and altitude hold, and the safety and degradation behavior around them
- Port and tune sensors and control algorithms across flight stacks (Betaflight, PX4), preserving flight feel that expert pilots depend on
- Build vehicle-side datalink and payload integrations for new platform variants
- Instrument the vehicle, run bench and flight-test iterations, and debug issues that only reproduce in flight
- Write the unit and integration tests for your firmware, partnering with our Test organization on SITL/HITL and flight-test execution
