About Flyby:

Flyby Robotics is building ML-capable drones to power America’s critical industries. At Flyby, we believe the drones of the future won’t just be flying cameras — they’ll be flying supercomputers. Our mission is to design and manufacture the ultimate UAVs, capable of supporting advanced sensor payloads and on-edge machine learning applications. 

You’ll be working alongside a team of Yale graduates, PhDs, and ex-JPL engineers. We’re backed by category-defining investors in American hard tech, including MaC Ventures, Ryan Hoover (Product Hunt Founder), Naval Ravikant (Angelist Founder), and others. 

The Role:

The combination of immense GPU power and heavy aerial lift creates a powerful machine. Great machines are not built in a vacuum. Such immense hardware capabilities need to be paired with robust applications and integrations. We are looking for software engineers with a background in solving challenges in networking, systems integration, and robotic controls.

What You’ll Do:

• Owns sensor integration, sensor fusion, and computer vision projects for the Flyby Robotics F-11 UAVs. 
• Develop applications that utilize the Flyby Robotics F-11’s on-edge computing power for autonomous or semi-autonomous capabilities. 
• Work with third-party developers to deploy objection recognition, tracking, and detection applications on board Flyby Robotics drones for use cases serving first responders, oil/gas/electrical grid operators, or government researchers.

• At least 2 years of experience in C and Linux development environments. 
• At least 1 year of experience in Python and Bash scripting.
• Experience with building software solutions involving sensor integration and on-edge computing over hardware devices. 
• Experience with troubleshooting and analyzing remotely deployed software systems. 
• Must be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident.

• Familiarity with communications busses and protocols such as CAN, CANFD, MIL-STD-1553, UART, Ethernet, etc.
• Bonus if you worked with Mavlink or Ardupilot in the past. We look for signs of extraordinary talent.
• You have a love for robots and drones. You’re excited about automation.
