UAS & Drone Communication Systems Expert

#Join us in enabling drones to populate our skies

At Embention, we have pursued a clear mission for more than 18 years: to enable drones to populate our skies.

We provide our more than 700 customers in 70 countries with the development of avionics, safety-critical components and high-performance software for their professional UAS (UAVs, drones, eVTOLs...) in accordance with aeronautical certification standards.

The projects that our engineers carry out are very varied, from urban aerial mobility, through freight transport to space rocket recovery projects.

The core of our company lies in our R&D team, made up of more than 100 engineers from multiple specialties, who together with the rest of the team, make up a total of more than 160 professionals with the same objective.

Due to our IPO and market interest, we are looking to expand our most important resource, the human resource. If you feel attracted by our mission, we are looking for you.

🚀 What would be your mission?

Design, integrate, and validate critical communication systems between the various subsystems onboard UAVs and eVTOLs, ensuring their interoperability, reliability, and compliance with international aeronautical standards.

Your work will be key to guaranteeing that Embention’s autopilots and avionics systems communicate and integrate accurately and safely with the rest of the components in our clients’ platforms.

💡 What would be your responsibilities? 

• Design communication and system architectures for UAVs and eVTOLs, integrating Embention products with sensors, actuators, datalinks, and Ground Control Stations.

• Capture, define, and verify system requirements, ensuring traceability and compliance with project and certification standards.

• Define and validate communication interfaces and protocols (CAN bus, RS-232, Ethernet, MAVLink, etc.) and transmission frequencies (C-Band, S-Band, radios, etc.).

• Develop functional and electrical diagrams (wiring diagrams) and manage final integration on the platform.

• Select and size components according to customer requirements and architectural needs.

• Ensure redundancy, independence, and fault tolerance within critical communication systems.

• Participate in system verification, validation, and documentation in accordance with aeronautical standards (DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754B, ARP4761).

• Collaborate directly with clients to define and propose tailored technical solutions.

🕵️‍♀️ What do we need?

• Degree in Aeronautical Engineering or similar.

• Knowledge of DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754A, and ARP4761.

• Experience with communication protocols (CAN bus, Ethernet, UART, MAVLink, and radio) and integration of aeronautical or UAV systems.

• Strong understanding of system architectures, design, and validation of communications between subsystems.

• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with a high level of organization.

• High level of English.

📚 What do we value?

• Programming experience in C/C++.

• Experience in Isograph.

• Experience in integration of redundant flight control systems.

• Knowledge in power calculation and electrical distribution between systems.

• Hands-on experience with UAV systems and Ground Control Stations.

• Creativity in designing system block diagrams and developing them into detailed wiring schematics.

• Documentation and traceability following aeronautical standards.

• Initiative, precision, and results-oriented mindset.
