This role is ideal for a software engineer with a strong eye for usability and a passion for aviation innovation.

Key Responsibilities

UX & Design

Conduct user research, interviews, and usability testing in mission-critical environments
Create wireframes, prototypes, and user flows that illustrate design intent
Apply usability, ergonomics, and accessibility principles to complex GUIs
Collaborate with stakeholders to align design vision with product and operational goals

GUI Development

Implement user interfaces in C++ (primary) , with C# (secondary) and Python (support scripting/tools)
Develop applications using Qt (cross-platform) and WPF (Windows) frameworks
Optimize GUIs for performance, responsiveness, and reliability
Integrate UI designs with back-end logic in collaboration with flight software engineers
Ensure consistency of design language across platforms and applications

Collaboration & Delivery

Translate UX prototypes into functional, production-ready applications
Participate in design and code reviews to maintain high standards
Document design specifications, interaction flows, and coding practices
Iterate quickly based on user feedback and testing results

Desired Qualifications

Required

Bachelor’s or Master’s in HCI, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
Proven experience in C++ GUI development (Qt essential, WPF a plus)
Strong grasp of UX design principles and usability testing methods
Proficiency with Git, debugging tools, and software lifecycle best practices

Preferred

Hands-on experience with C# and Python
Knowledge of graphics/visualization libraries (OpenGL, Vulkan, GLFW)
Familiarity with embedded systems, avionics, or real-time environments
Experience with design tools (Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch) for prototyping support

Personal Qualities

Strong problem-solving mindset, balancing creativity with technical rigor
Ability to communicate clearly across design, engineering, and product teams
Comfortable working in multidisciplinary teams and taking ownership of both design and implementation

2. Embedded Software Developer (C/C++)

Would you like to develop the brains behind the world’s most powerful unmanned aerial systems?

As an Embedded Software Developer (C/C++) at Griff Aviation, you will design, implement, and maintain firmware for ARM-based microcontrollers (STM32, Atmel SAM) and contribute to our customized fork of the ArduPilot flight control software. Your work will directly impact flight safety, reliability, and performance in critical missions worldwide.

Key Responsibilities

Embedded Development

Design, implement, and optimize firmware in C and C++ for ARM microcontrollers (STM32, Atmel SAM)
Develop drivers, communication protocols (CAN, UART, I2C, SPI) and hardware abstraction layers
Contribute to the ongoing development and maintenance of our ArduPilot fork, ensuring stability, performance, and integration with proprietary systems
Debug, test, and optimize embedded code for reliability in real-time environments

System Integration

Collaborate with hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration of firmware and electronics
Work with flight software teams to connect low-level control with higher-level flight logic
Support hardware bring-up, board validation, and sensor integration

Testing & Quality

Implement unit testing and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing for embedded systems
Document code, interfaces, and firmware update processes
Participate in peer reviews for code and system architecture

Desired Qualifications

Required

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
Strong experience programming in C and C++ for embedded systems
Proven experience with ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers (STM32, Atmel SAM)
Knowledge of RTOS concepts, interrupt handling, and performance optimization
Experience with debugging tools (oscilloscopes, JTAG, logic analyzers)
Familiarity with ArduPilot or other autopilot frameworks

Preferred

Contributions to open-source embedded/flight software projects
Familiarity with Python for scripting, automation, or testing
Experience with communication protocols (CAN, UAVCAN, MAVLink)
Knowledge of safety-critical software standards (DO-178C, MISRA C)
Exposure to sensor integration (IMUs, GPS, barometers, LiDAR)
Experience with CI/CD pipelines for embedded software

Personal Qualities

Analytical and structured, with attention to detail
Passionate about solving complex challenges in resource-constrained environments
Strong commitment to reliability, safety, and code quality
Open to continuous learning and exploring new programming approaches
