Mission Control Engineer

Description 
Do you want to work on a New Class of Unmanned Aircraft? Our product universe spans three different platforms with maximum take-off weights of up to 1000 kg and characteristic dimensions of 8 m: The hexacopter Grille for medical evacuation, the multi-role rotorcraft Wespe for logistics and support operations, as well as the fixed-wing aircraft Bussard for surveillance and intelligence missions. All systems are powered by RasCore, our highly redundant, military-grade avionics system for safe operations within EASA’s Specific Category. Three unmanned aircraft, one mission: to bridge the gap between small UASs and traditional manned systems.  
 
Are you ready to make a significant impact by integrating cutting-edge technology into critical military rescue operations? We are seeking a talented Mission Control and Data Engineer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will help integrate a user-centered perspective into our products. 
 
As part of our team, you will gain invaluable experience in full stack platform and application development, helping to advance the capabilities of our final product and grow your career. You will design, develop, and maintain applications running on Linux-based systems, working across a range of technologies and modern full-stack web frameworks.
