The Mission of the Software Engineer, Unmanned Aircraft

As a Software Engineer on the HAPS program, you will develop and maintain the custom software that keeps ICEYE's stratospheric electric aircraft flying — spanning the full stack from embedded avionics and command & control systems to simulation environments and ground‑based tooling. You will integrate COTS and custom avionics components into a working UAV platform, build and improve hardware‑in‑the‑loop and software‑in‑the‑loop simulation systems, and participate directly in flight test campaigns — turning real‑world data into software improvements that push the aircraft's c...
