Imagine this...You are coding the brain of next-gen aircraft. Every line you write doesn’t just move data through a processor, it moves an aircraft across the sky. As an Embedded Software Engineer at Destinus, you’ll be at the core of developing the intelligence that powers our complex guidance systems, power management, and mission-critical avionics. One day you’ll be working with lightweight STM32 microcontrollers to handle precision I/O and communication protocols. The next, you’ll dive into advanced Zynq UltraScale systems with PCIe, USB, and gigabit Ethernet, pushing the boundaries of aerospace technology. Your work will make the difference between ordinary flight and breakthrough innovation.At Destinus, we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness. Destinus partners with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, enabling a new era of efficiency and technological superiority. Join us in shaping the future of defense with groundbreaking aerospace innovations.What You´ll be Doing
