UAV Robotics Engineer – The Hague
I’ve partnered with an exciting autonomous aerial systems start-up in the Netherlands that’s scaling its engineering team to deliver advanced collaborative autonomy technology for defense and emergency-response missions.
They’re hiring a UAV Robotics Engineer to help take autonomy algorithms from simulation to real-world flight.
It’s a great opportunity to join at an early stage and play a large part in what they do and who they are. It is one of the most exciting start-ups to come out of the Netherlands.
What You’ll Be Working On:
- Developing and testing autonomous flight algorithms
- Building software from prototype to flight-ready product
- Creating simulation environments for UAS validation
- Deploying and testing algorithms on real fixed-wing UAS
Experience That Stands Out:
- BSc or MSc in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or similar
- 2+ years’ experience in robotics, autonomy, or aerospace
- Strong background in vehicle dynamics, control, and sensor fusion
- Proficient in C++, Linux, and ROS2
- EU and/or NATO citizenship
Nice to have: PX4/Ardupilot, Docker, GPU acceleration, hands-on drone integration
Salary: Circa €5,000-€6,500/month (potential flex based on experience) plus equity.
Location: The Hague, Netherlands (full-time onsite with some travel abroad)
