ppWeekly availability: full-time (5 days/week, regular travel in EU) /p pLocation: Delft, the Netherlands /p h3About the company /h3 pFiducial is a young but fast-growing deep-tech start-up with big ambitions at the frontier of autonomy, perception, and defence. Our core expertise lies in 3D vision and graphics technologies which we deploy in a dual-use context for inspection and defence. This role will focus mainly on the defence context where we are developing software for advanced on-board UAV situational awareness in military applications. Our solutions are aimed to operate with low-cost and widely available sensors and compute. From there, we plan to develop a line‑up of interconnected solutions to safeguard European safety. /p pOur team consists of engineers that are passionate about the technology and solutions they develop. The only time most of us are not thinking about the technology is when we are asleep, and sometimes even then. Our team members have a background in different fields such as Aerospace Engineering, Computational Science and Engineering, Robotics and Computer Graphics. Our office is located in the Aerospace Innovation Hub, a start‑up hub located on the TU Delft campus in the faculty of Aerospace Engineering. /p pWe work closely with top‑tier partners, ranging from government agencies and prime contractors to academic research institutes and other start‑ups. Our projects span from large tender orders in collaboration with partners to low TRL research with government agencies. Whether through formal RD programs or rapid prototyping tracks, we operate at the intersection of innovation and deployment. /p h3Your role /h3 pAs a bForward Deployed System Integration Engineer – L2 (UAV Robotics) /b, you will be at the center of bringing our autonomy solutions into the real world. You will work hands‑on with drone hardware, integrate onboard systems, and deploy software onto real UAV platforms, from agile FPV drones to large fixed‑wing aircraft. /p pThis role is ideal for someone who loves making physical systems work, thrives in the field, and enjoys solving problems with a combination of practical engineering, Linux skills, and methodical testing. You will become the critical link between our autonomy stack and the aircraft it controls. /p pThe L2 level reflects alignment between scope, autonomy, and field responsibility at this stage. It sits within our engineering track (L1, L2, L3, etc.) and provides a clear pathway for progression as you demonstrate impact and ownership in the role. /p pYour responsibilities will include: /p ul liBe a key member of the deployment team responsible for deploying autonomy solutions across diverse UAV platforms. /li liWork hands‑on with UAV hardware: assembling, wiring, debugging, and preparing platforms for field deployment. /li liTravel to partner sites, including international locations, to work on‑site and ensure the solutions function reliably in demanding real‑world conditions (“in the dirt”). /li liIntegrate and test full‑stack autonomy solutions on partner platforms, often in close collaboration with partner engineering teams. /li liProvide structured and actionable feedback to the product development team, based on observations from field tests and operational flights. /li liContribute to improving interfaces between autonomy algorithms and flight controllers, helping shape a more robust deployment pipeline. /li /ul h3What we expect from you /h3 ul liStrong proficiency of working in a fully terminal‑based Linux environment, shell scripting for automation and deployment tasks, Linux file system and command‑line tools, and debugging system‑level issues using the Linux terminal. /li liSolid understanding of UAV components and hardware, including battery management and practical electronics, with hands‑on experience. Ideally you have built, flown, and debugged a drone yourself. /li liProven experience working with drone flight controllers such as Ardupilot or Betaflight. /li liA willingness to pick up and learn new concepts quickly and to self‑acquire missing background knowledge. /li liAdaptability under unforeseen circumstances and ability to think and act under pressure. /li liA high degree of autonomy, determination and grit in making cool tech work. /li liDemonstrated ownership in work assigned to you, while taking initiative to drive improvements that benefit the wider team. /li liBeing comfortable with regular travel for project activities within the EU region (up to 1 week at a time and up to 2 weeks per month). /li liFull time availability (40 hours). /li /ul h3Bonus /h3 ul liAn obsessive level of passion for drones, like the rest of us here. /li liExperience of Python or C++ development. /li liValid driver’s license (Category B, suitable for travel abroad). /li liDrones pilot license or willingness to acquire one upon joining the team. /li /ul pWhile having the perfect background is nice, if you are able to present evidence of outstanding engineering and execution capability we are interested in talking regardless. If you are the right fit, we believe in your ability to pick up the required background knowledge on the fly. /p h3What we offer /h3 ul liMoney. /li li25 vacation days per year. /li liReimbursed travel expenses and company laptop. /li liTraveling abroad to work with our partners. /li liReally flexible working hours and option to work from home 2 days per week (when not abroad). /li liWorking in an international, world‑class team of engineers and entrepreneurs solving real‑life problems with amazing technology. /li liLarge freedom in how you work and implement solutions, project ownership is incredibly important to us. /li liThe opportunity to take technical risks, to implement stuff the ‘right’ way and to iterate quickly with tight feedback loops. We are innovating, learning is to be expected. /li liResponsibility over the things you implement, you are the expert on what you build. /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
