UAS Systems Integration Engineer II

Role: UAS Systems Integration Engineer II, focusing on the development of Flagship Pioneering's fixed-wing UAV platform. Responsibilities include configuring and debugging autopilot firmware (ArduPilot), designing and iterating on airframes, supporting flight tests, and developing payload integration, C2 link architecture, and ground station software. The role involves end-to-end hardware and firmware integration, electronics design, and in-field troubleshooting to advance a field-deployable scientific UAV system. Qualifications: Bachelor's or Master's in aerospace, electrical, mechanical engineering, or related fields; 2-4 years (BS) or 0-2 years (MS) experience in hardware/software systems integration, with proficiency in C++, Python, and familiarity with ArduPilot or PX4 autopilots. High-value biopharma specifics include long-range BVLOS operations, payload integration for scientific missions, and spectrum compliance. Experience with RF design, electronics, PCB development, and regulatory waivers like BVLOS and FAA Part 107 is preferred. The role is based in Boulder, CO, with hands-on hardware and firmware responsibilities in a small, collaborative team environment.
