Embedded Software Engineer

About us

What if the next generation of autonomous drones ran on boards you engineered?

At our venture builder Santa Tech we are turning that opportunity into reality.

Our latest company, Multirotor, is a well-funded venture on a mission to deliver the silicon that powers Europe’s autonomous drones. The smallest Flight Controller with an embedded onboard computer in the world, engineered and built in Germany.

The heart of this mission is the CoPilot NanoCore, our proprietary Flight Controller you will help evolve, optimize, and expand with new capabilities and applications. It is the first Flight Controller combining real-time flight control and onboard AI on a single chip. We are pushing the boundaries of what autonomous drones can do.

As an Embedded Software Engineer at Santa Tech, you’ll join a team of experienced engineers building the CoPilot NanoCore. You'll collaborate closely with Multirotor’s founding team and CTO, who bring extensive experience from the UAS industry.

Your work will center on designing and optimizing embedded software for real-time flight control systems, bringing up next-generation Cortex-M and Linux-based hardware platforms under strict resource constraints, and exploring machine-learning capabilities for onboard autonomy and AI-assisted flight systems.

You will be a great fit if you:

… live and breathe embedded C/C++ development and PCB design

… are intrinsically motivated to continuously learn and improve your skills

… are an exceptional problem solver and a critical thinker

… have 3+ years of professional experience with ARM Cortex-M platforms, RTOS-based

systems, Linux hardware development

… Strong technical foundation backed by a degree in Engineering, or equivalent field

You will NOT fit if you:

… do not care about code efficiency, system reliability, and performance under real-world

constraints

… are too lazy to write proper commit messages

… think documentation is for losers
