About the Position

Ready to change the world? One Way Aerospace is rebooting the arsenal of democracy by providing long-range, precision strike drones mass-produced in Ukraine. Are you interested in building a system that will save lives and restore the sovereignty of Ukraine?

We are looking for a Perception Platform Software Engineer (Embedded Systems) to join our team in Kyiv, Ukraine. If you are excited to add perception to a production system where each incremental amount of capability you add directly enables a critical service to save lives, we want to hear from you!

Responsibilities

As the perception platform engineer, you will be responsible for delivering the computer system that enables a highly maneuverable aircraft to dodge power lines that are not on any map, avoid buildings that aren’t shown on satellite photos, stay clear of other aircraft, and safely find the right open area to drop life-saving supplies.

  • Conceive and implement methods for transporting, processing, and storing high-bandwidth data across multiple processors in real-time.
  • Demonstrate the best techniques to run advanced machine learning algorithms on resource-constrained embedded hardware.
  • Study entire data sheets to ensure novel sensors produce a flawless stream of output.
  • Build hardware in the loop test platforms and testing frameworks to accelerate your team and your progress.

Requirements

  • Deployed real-time safety-critical systems where runtime and post-mortem analysis were equally supported.
  • Built systems to record, curate, and train on data sets for advanced machine learning models that operate in the real world, leveraging multi-core CPUs and GPU acceleration.
  • Internalized best practices from working on a codebase with many collaborators, from continuous integration to code review.
  • Love digging into all levels of your technology stack, whether it’s the build system, the network stack, or the application layer itself.
  • Know your way around aligning a LIDAR’s data with your stereo camera–and why that doesn’t always work as expected.

Skills

  • Proficient in C or C++ and Python.
  • Familiar with running the Linux kernel on resource-constrained systems and with real-time requirements.
  • Understands what makes code run fast or slow, and how to use multi-core or GPU hardware to make things run fast every time.
  • Familiarity with the best way to get data in and out of a computer–and keep track of where it went.
  • Bonus points for experience developing device drivers for microprocessor peripherals or familiarity with Rust.

We Offer

  • Opportunity to work on a mission-critical project that saves lives.
  • Collaborative and innovative work environment.
  • Competitive compensation package.

About the Company

One Way Aerospace is committed to rebooting the arsenal of democracy by providing long-range, precision strike drones mass-produced in Ukraine. We value diversity and welcome applications from those who are traditionally underrepresented in tech.
