UAS Software Engineer — Autonomy & Onboard Systems
How do you get a swarm of drones working together?
You need software that connects what happens onboard each aircraft with the systems coordinating it.
Joining an aerospace technology business developing advanced unmanned aircraft, you’ll work across onboard software, systems-level autonomy, and cloud integration—helping turn individual aircraft into a coordinated system.
Connect the aircraft to the bigger picture.
Your work will span the software running onboard, the interfaces connecting it to hardware, and the infrastructure supporting deployment and orchestration.
You’ll help:
- Develop onboard software and firmware.
- Build custom hardware abstraction layers.
- Connect aircraft systems with cloud orchestration using MQTT and AWS.
- Solve deployment and networking challenges across edge, IoT, and cloud systems.
- Develop the software foundations for drone-swarm orchestration.
- Shape the architecture as infrastructure moves from Railway towards AWS.
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.
You’ll work between flight-control engineering and an existing software lead responsible for cloud systems and data pipelines. Your contribution will help those two worlds work together.
You enjoy solving problems across system boundaries.
You might describe yourself as a robotics software engineer, an autonomy engineer, or an embedded software engineer.
What interests you is how the whole system behaves: how onboard software interacts with hardware, how devices communicate, and how cloud services coordinate activity in the field.
Experience across robotics, UAVs, connected devices, or edge-to-cloud systems could be relevant. MQTT, AWS, onboard firmware, hardware abstraction, and networking are particularly useful areas to bring into the conversation.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
If you’ve worked on fleet coordination, multi-agent systems, or swarm orchestration, we’d be interested to hear what you built.
Help shape a role that’s still taking shape. This position combines software and autonomy responsibilities. The scope is still being refined, giving you the opportunity to contribute to how the work is defined as well as how it gets delivered.
You’ll suit an environment where requirements evolve and you enjoy working through technical questions with colleagues across different disciplines.
