TYTAN Technologies
At TYTAN , we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect European sovereignty.
We are looking for a Senior Avionics Engineer to define, implement, and validate the avionics architecture of advanced UAV platforms.
You will be responsible for integrating autonomy, GNC, and command & control (C2) into a coherent, reliable onboard system across fixed-wing, VTOL and transitioning aircrafts .
This role is hands-on, system-level, and deployment-focused .
You will work at the intersection of hardware and software, ensuring that all onboard systems communicate reliably and perform in real operational environments.
You will act as a technical sparring partner across avionics and system integration, contributing experience, pragmatism, and strong engineering judgment.
Your roadmap to make an impact
●Define and own the end-to-end avionics architecture for UAV platforms, from concept to operational deployment
●Define and implement system-level integration of flight control (GNC), autonomy stacks, and C2 links
●Design and manage onboard communication architectures (e.g., MAVLink, DDS, Ethernet, CAN, serial protocols)
●Integrate and validate flight controllers, companion computers, sensors, radios, and payload systems
●Ensure robust data flow, synchronization, and fault-tolerant behavior across all subsystems
●Take avionics systems from lab setup to real aircraft , ensuring reliable sim-to-real and bench-to-flight transition
●Lead and support hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and system-level testing , including debugging complex integration issues
●Work closely with GNC, autonomy, C2, and EWIS/electrical teams to ensure tight system coupling and clean interfaces
●Support flight testing , including system bring-up, monitoring, logging, and post-flight analysis
●Define and implement system monitoring, health checks, and fail-safe strategies
●Document system architectures, interfaces, and integration workflows in a clear and maintainable way
●Support integration into customer and operational environments , including Bundeswehr (Bw) requirements
●5+ of hands-on experience in avionics, robotics, or UAV system integration
●Strong experience working with real UAV systems , ideally across fixed-wing and/or VTOL platforms
●Proven track record of integrating complex systems (flight controllers, companion computers, sensors, radios) into a working aircraft
●Strong understanding of system architecture, interfaces, and real-time data flow
●Experience with autopilot systems (e.g., PX4) and UAV software stacks
●Proficiency in C++ and Python , with practical experience in ROS2 or similar middleware
●Hands-on experience with communication protocols (e.g., MAVLink, CAN, UART, Ethernet, DDS)
●Comfortable debugging hardware-software integration issues in real systems
●Experience with Linux-based systems , embedded computing, and system bring-up
●Strong systems-thinking mindset: understanding of how everything connects and fails together
Nice to have
●Experience with C2 systems and radio link integration , including bandwidth and latency considerations
●Experience with HIL/SIL testing setups and simulation integration
●Experience supporting flight testing and field deployments
●Background in defense or safety-critical systems
