Department: UAV AI Division, Canary Digital.ai

Role Overview

As a UAV Systems Engineer, you will design, integrate, and test UAV hardware and flight systems for Canary Digital's AI-powered defense and surveillance platforms. You will work hands-on with airframes, flight controllers (PX4/ArduPilot), payloads (EO/IR, Jetson compute), and mission planning software to ensure safe and reliable UAV operations. This is a technical execution role reporting to the Head of UAV Systems, with a strong focus on building and scaling real-world UAV capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

- Integrate and configure PX4/ArduPilot-based flight controllers (Pixhawk-class).
- Implement waypoint missions, geofencing, and failsafe behaviors.
- Tune UAV flight performance (PID tuning, EKF parameters).
- Integrate payloads (EO/IR gimbals, Jetson companion computers, sensors).
- Support simulation-based development (AirSim/Gazebo SITL) and transition to field testing.
- Conduct bench tests, tethered flights, and live flight trials with safety protocols.
- Assist AI/ML engineers in integrating computer vision and Weather Guard modules on-board UAVs.
- Troubleshoot UAV avionics, power systems, and telemetry links.
- Maintain detailed logs of flight tests, anomalies, and performance tuning.

Required Skills & Experience

- 3–7 years of experience in UAV/avionics/robotics engineering.
- Hands-on expertise with PX4/ArduPilot, QGroundControl/Mission Planner.
- Experience with UAV integration: airframes, propulsion, batteries, payloads.
- Strong grasp of flight dynamics, GNSS/IMU, sensor calibration.
- Familiarity with MAVLink protocol (mission upload, telemetry, command/control).
- Basic electronics knowledge (power distribution, soldering, ESCs, BECs).
- Passion for hands-on prototyping and flight testing.

Preferred Background

- Academic or project work in drone/autonomous systems.
- Participation in student UAV competitions, robotics clubs, or aerospace research labs.
- Prior work with defense UAV startups, DGCA BVLOS trials, or hobbyist drone building.

What We Offer

- Chance to work on cutting-edge UAV projects integrated with AI/ML systems.
- Hands-on exposure to EO/IR, Jetson AI payloads, and secure comms.
- Flight test experience in controlled ranges and real-world defense scenarios.
- Competitive salary + performance bonuses + growth into leadership roles.
