FALCATAs Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (AISR) division in Arlington, VA is currently seeking a Software Engineer with an educational and/or industry focus in the design, development, integration, and testing of software for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS).

Job Description:

FALCATA's AISR Division is actively recruiting a dynamic Software Engineer to support development and testing of flight components for a Group 4/5 UAV. An ideal candidate is self-directed and motivated, with experience in the development of software programming for autonomous vehicles, electromechanical devices, and aerospace/aviation platforms. Candidates with relevant technical experience, demonstrated development capabilities, and problem-solving skills are encouraged to apply. The selected individual will program design components, help bring-up and test prototypes, and integrate them into UAS platforms with a multi-disciplinary team. As a key engineering position within the development and test team, the UAS Engineer will have up to 10% travel time to development sites and test ranges. Other duties may be assigned as new technologies and capabilities are deployed.

This position requires a hands-on individual with experience in development, integration, and test of embedded systems and autonomous vehicle control systems, including payload integration, sensor integration, and programming, wire harness design, enclosure building, testing, and electrical analysis. FALCATA’s AISR team designs, builds, and operates a family of long endurance UAS sustaining 24/7 operations at multiple sites around the world. This position requires an individual familiar with electronics and application readiness to apply design principles to all phases of UAS product life cycle, from initial development through operations.
