Job Description

We are building Europe's first low-cost autonomous kinetic counter-drone interceptor. The core engineering challenge: detect a fast-moving aerial target with a thermal camera, compute a collision trajectory, and close the guidance loop in under 100 ms — all on an embedded platform weighing under 3.5 kg.

What you will work on

  • Thermal camera target detection and tracking pipeline
  • Real-time trajectory planning and guidance law implementation
  • Flight controller integration and hardware bring-up
  • Hardware-in-the-loop simulation and validation

What we are looking for

  • Background in embedded systems, robotics, or autonomous vehicles
  • Hands-on experience with computer vision or sensor fusion
  • Comfortable working at the hardware/software boundary
  • Formula Student driverless or UAV project experience is a strong plus
