Backed by Defence Research and Development Canada and global industry partners, we are redefining modern air defense with modular, low-cost, and sovereign technologies. We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to adapt and optimize flight control firmware for our proprietary hardware, enabling the development of cutting-edge UAV systems at the core of our defense platforms. Candidates must be legally entitled to work in Canada and eligible for registration under the Controlled Goods Program and a federal security clearance. Key Responsibilities Firmware Development Customize and integrate PX4 firmware for NVD’s proprietary flight controller boards. Develop and debug device drivers for sensors, communication modules, and other peripherals. Optimization & Testing Optimize firmware for performance, power efficiency, and memory usage on resource-constrained platforms. Conduct unit, integration, and flight testing to ensure stability and reliability. Hardware Integration Collaborate with hardware engineers to bring up new boards, troubleshoot integration issues, and ensure tight coupling between hardware and software. Feature Implementation Design and implement new flight control features and algorithms. Validate performance in real-world conditions, including autonomous system behaviors. Documentation & Process Maintain clear, comprehensive documentation of codebases, interfaces, and development processes. Contribute to continuous integration pipelines and automated test infrastructure. Qualifications Required: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field. Proven experience with embedded C/C++ programming. Hands-on experience with PX4 or ArduPilot firmware. Proficiency with microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, ESP32) and peripherals (I2C, SPI, UART). Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, using tools such as JTAG/SWD debuggers, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes. Experience with Git for version control. Passion for autonomous systems, drones, and robotics. Ideal Candidate Profile: Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS), especially NuttX. Knowledge of flight dynamics and control theory. Familiarity with schematics and PCB layouts. Experience with continuous integration (CI), automated testing, and simulation frameworks (e.g., Gazebo, SITL/HITL). Active contributor to open-source flight control projects. Comfortable in a startup environment: adaptable, proactive, and collaborative. Why Join NVD? Directly contribute to building Canada’s next generation of air defense and a career-defining network in the defense industry. Opportunity to expand into technical leadership as the engineering team scales. Collaborate with hardware, autonomy, and systems teams on end-to-end UAV development.
