COMPANY OVERVIEW

Volatus Aerospace is a global leader in aerial intelligence and drone solutions, bringing together over 100 years of combined aviation expertise. We specialize in delivering innovative, customer-focused solutions through both piloted and remotely piloted aircraft systems across industries including defense, infrastructure, energy, public safety, and logistics.

Volatus Aerospace is a Canadian aerospace technology company developing autonomous UAV systems for commercial, defence, and industrial applications. Our engineering team builds the hardware, firmware, and software that power our unmanned platforms from low-level flight control to high-level autonomy and mission management. We operate in demanding environments including remote industrial sites, northern Canada, and Arctic conditions

POSITION OVERVIEW

We are looking for an Embedded Systems & Autonomy Engineer to join our R&D division. You will design, implement, and validate autonomy algorithms for our UAV platforms, integrate custom software with open-source flight control firmware, and work alongside our Operations team during field deployments and testing campaigns. This is a hands-on engineering role that spans algorithm development, hardware integration, and real-world validation in operational environments.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Algorithm Development

Design and implement autonomy algorithms for UAV platforms using C++, Python, and ROS/ROS2

Develop and validate state estimation, sensor fusion, and closed-loop control logic

Write simulation environments for algorithm testing prior to hardware deployment
Optimize algorithms for real-time performance on embedded flight computer hardware

Firmware & Flight Controller Integration

Integrate custom autonomy modules with PX4 and ArduPilot open-source firmware stacks

Develop and maintain custom MAVLink protocol extensions and companion computer interfaces

Configure and tune Pixhawk-based flight controller hardware for specific airframe and mission requirements

Manage firmware build systems, parameter management, and version control across platforms

Sensor & Payload Integration

Interface vision, LIDAR, IMU, GNSS, and other payloads with the flight computer and ROS ecosystem

Develop camera and imaging system drivers, calibration pipelines, and data handling workflows

Implement real-time sensor processing pipelines on companion computers (NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, or equivalent)

Field Testing & Operations Support

Support the Operations team during field testing campaigns -preparing aircraft, configuring systems, and executing test plans

Instrument flight systems for data capture, monitor telemetry, and perform post-flight analysis

Diagnose and resolve hardware and software issues in the field under time pressure

Document test results, anomalies, and lessons learned, and feed findings back into the development cycle

Travel to field sites as required, including remote locations and variable weather environments

Engineering Standards & Collaboration

Write clean, well-documented code with unit and integration tests

Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and technical planning sessions

Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers across the R&D team

Contribute to IP development and internal technical documentation

REQUIRED QUALIFICATION

Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field

3+ years of hands-on experience with PX4 and/or ArduPilot firmware -configuration, customization, and extension

Strong working knowledge of ROS and/or ROS2 -node development, launch systems, tf, topics, services, and actions

Experience with Pixhawk flight controller hardware and the MAVLink communication protocol

Proficiency in C++ and Python for embedded and real-time systems development

Experience integrating sensors -cameras, IMUs, GNSS, LIDAR -with UAV platforms

Hands-on experience flying and testing UAV systems in field environments

Strong debugging and systems troubleshooting skills across hardware and software

Ability to work in the field -physically capable of equipment handling and travel to remote sites

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience with UAV control systems architecture -attitude control, position control, mission management

Familiarity with Gazebo, AirSim, or SITL simulation environments for UAV development

Knowledge of computer vision fundamentals - OpenCV, feature detection, image processing pipelines

Experience with NVIDIA Jetson or similar edge computing platforms

Background in defence, industrial, or Arctic / northern operations environments

Exposure to DO-178C, transport Canada RPAS regulations, or equivalent certification frameworks

Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing setups

Familiarity with GIS tools, georeferencing, and geospatial data formats
