About the Role// Robotics Software Engineer – Autonomous High-Speed Interceptor
We are building the next generation of fully autonomous air defense. Your work will power an interceptor designed for unprecedented performance under hard real-time constraints.
300 km/h
top speed interceptor, rocket boosted.
10kW
all-electric peak power delivery. Custom ESCs switch a peak of
200A
for extreme maneuvering.
Hard real-time platform with an
8 kHz
inner control loop frequency. Low-level flight control is managed by a deterministic
STM32 .
Built upon
ROS2 ,
Rust , and
C++
for guaranteed performance and safety.
Target acquisition and tracking via a proprietary ground
radar
system. Direct integration with our Mosaic
Ground Control Station
for strategic decision-making.
Modular seeker head utilizing
Thermal, Radar, RGB,
and
Audio
for comprehensive perception.
Dedicated
Qualcomm
chip manages AI inference with an ultra-low
3ms latency .
Jamming-resistant video and telemetry links providing up to
60km range .
Your task is to tame this technological powerhouse with autonomy. You will guide this radical system from its intense, wild MVP phase onto a stable, robust, and scalable development path. You will be instrumental in defining the architecture that brings this high-performance system to full operational maturity.
The Team:
We operate with the agility and high degree of ownership of a tech startup , backed by the resources of a growing defense-tech company.
Speed
is the most important metric that counts.
What is Your Day-to-Day Mission?
Design and implement autonomous behaviors, mission software, and real-time control modules.
Define software architecture for high-reliability robotics systems under hard real-time constraints.
Develop, test, and optimize control loops, signal-processing pipelines, and perception interfaces.
Lead integration of ROS2, embedded code, and high-performance onboard compute.
Guide the development of AI-driven agents running on dedicated inference hardware.
Build robust CI/CD pipelines, simulation tools, and automated test frameworks.
Drive the interceptor platform from prototype to stable release-quality system.
Collaborate closely with avionics, AI, hardware, and flight-test teams.
What You Bring to the Team
Background in
ROS2 , embedded systems, and real-time robotics software.
Understanding of
control theory,
dynamic systems, and signal processing.
Experience with
Rust
or
C++
in high-performance environments.
Experience supervising and guiding AI agents performing software development tasks.
Understands complex tasks, structures them cleanly, and delivers functional results.
Quality-driven mindset: testing discipline, code reviews, CI/CD, and documentation.
High degree of ownership and the drive to push technology from concept to deployed capability.
Why Join Quantum-Systems?
Be at the forefront of
next-generation UAV innovation .
Work in a fast-paced, agile environment where your ideas make an impact.
Collaborate with a team of industry pioneers who are ambitious, bold, and visionary.
Opportunities for individual and professional growth in a globally recognized organization.
Help shape the future of
aerial technology and data .
About us:
Quantum Systems specializes in the development, design, and production of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS). The company’s range of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) sUAS are built to maximize range and versatility and to provide operators with a seamless user experience. By integrating cutting-edge software capabilities, like edge computing and real-time AI-powered data processing, Quantum Systems is building next-generation UAS for clients in the defense, security, and public sectors.
