Senior Android Developer – Drone Navigation & Control
This isn't a consumer Android role. We are looking for someone who can build the application that allows drone pilots to plan and execute autonomous flight missions used to inspect wind turbines across the world.
Your work will sit directly between flight control, geospatial intelligence, and real-world renewable-energy operations, shaping how critical infrastructure is inspected safely, efficiently, and at scale.
You will join a specialist drone-software team backed by one of the world’s largest renewable-energy businesses. The product is established, used in the field, and now entering its next stage of growth.
What you will own
- Android applications used for drone navigation, mission planning, and flight control.
- DJI Mobile SDK integration and comparable drone-control technologies.
- Mapping, positioning, and geospatial features that turn a complex flight into a reliable field workflow.
- Features from first technical discussion through to testing, release, and live use by pilots.
- Practical support and problem-solving alongside the operations team when the product is being used in the field.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Why this is different
- Your software will control physical systems, not just screens.
- You will work with real pilots, real equipment, and immediate user feedback.
- The work has a direct impact on wind-farm maintenance, turbine availability, and clean-energy generation.
- You will have genuine product ownership, rather than being limited to a narrow feature area.
- You will join a team where a practical, get-things-done mindset matters as much as technical depth.

What you need
- 5+ years building production Android applications.
- Strong Kotlin and/or Java experience.
- Hands-on experience with DJI Mobile SDK or a comparable drone, robotics, or vehicle-control SDK.
- Experience with geospatial data, mapping, navigation, telemetry, mission planning, or spatial reasoning.
- A track record of taking software from concept to customer release.
- The confidence to work across software, hardware, and field-operations teams.
- Fluent English.
Experience with C#/.NET, other UAV platforms, MAVLink, PX4, ArduPilot, robotics, or industrial inspection would be a strong advantage.
