Design and implement robotic automation cells for drone maintenance, battery swapping, payload loading, and fleet coordination
Develop core software libraries for autonomous nest operations including mission planning, resource management, and fleet orchestration
Build end-to-end robotics solutions from conceptual design through field deployment and remote monitoring
Create robust software systems for coordinating multiple UAVs in complex weather environments
Work closely with our mechanical and electrical engineering teams to integrate software with physical systems
Implement fault detection, diagnostics, and recovery systems for autonomous operations in remote locations
Develop simulation and testing frameworks to validate system performance before field deployment


Required Qualifications

Degree in Computer Science, Mechatronics, Robotics, or equivalent experience
Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++ with Linux development experience
Proven experience building and deploying robotic automation systems
Understanding of robotics fundamentals: kinematics, path planning, sensor integration, and control systems
