Role OverviewAs a Research Engineer at Systems Technology Inc., you will execute specialized technical research and development activities in direct support of STI's UAS product lines. This role sits at the intersection of hardware and software, where you will help design, build, integrate, and test the systems that make these platforms fly, sense, and think.
What You Will Do
Your responsibilities will include supporting design, integration, and bring-up of UAS avionics hardware, developing and maintaining embedded and companion-computer software, performing moderate to advanced design and analysis tasks, and assisting with hardware-in-the-loop and software-in-the-loop simulation setups.
Why It Might Be a Fit
We are looking for a talented individual with strong skills in C/C++ and/or Python, hands-on experience with UAS hardware, and experience with MATLAB/Simulink. If you are enthusiastic about solving challenging, real-world problems and contributing to a culture built on transparency, friendliness, innovation, ownership, and accountability, we would love to hear from you.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science in Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, Computer Engineering, or related field

- Experience with MATLAB/Simulink for modeling, analysis, or controls a plus
- Familiarity with autopilot firmware/ecosystems (ArduPilot, PX4) or MAVLink-based ground control software strongly preferred
- Experience with stability and control system design/assessment and/or vehicle flight modeling and simulation
- Experience in the aerospace industry required; direct UAS/UAM/sUAS hands-on build or flight-test experience a plus
