AI Enablement Engineer

At Six Robotics youre not just joining a company; youre joining a mission to reshape the future of autonomous systems.

Were transforming how unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operate making them smarter more capable and easier to manage. Our mission is to revolutionize unmanned systems through intelligent software solutions that are scalable reliable and designed for real-world impact.

As we grow were building a platform that brings modern software and AI into a hardware-dominated industry unlocking new levels of performance flexibility and autonomy in the air. Whether youre driven by innovation national impact or meaningful tech this is your chance to help build something that matters from the ground up.

Our flagship software platform Valkyrie delivers advanced autonomy and swarm technology to UAVs enabling multiple drones to collaborate seamlessly adapt to complex missions and operate with greater independence. In partnership with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) were at the forefront of UAV innovation delivering cutting-edge solutions to both government and industry.

Were a tight-knit team of 30 based in Oslo combining expertise in defense software and AI. As a startup we move fast work closely and value clarity integrity and teamwork in everything we do.

About the Role

At Six Robotics were building mission-critical software for high-stakes environments and were doing it from scratch. To meet those demands were assembling a modern tech organization where internal tooling and AI capabilities are intentionally designed to amplify engineering productivity and quality assurance.

Were now expanding our Software Factory team with someone who can take full ownership of how we can best leverage AI assistance in software engineering. This is a greenfield role with a wide scope: youll help lay the foundation for how AI is used internally from tools and workflows to team culture. Your impact will directly shape how fast and well we build the software powering our autonomous drone platform.

This isnt a research or a typical prompt engineering role its an enabler position. Youll enable AI tools in our engineering workflows tailor tools to our needs and help developers adopt and use them confidently. Our focus is on optimizing long-term development velocity while avoiding typical vibe coding tech debt and ensuring a healthy and long-lived code base.

What You Will Do

In this role youll define how AI tools and aid are applied in software engineering at Six Robotics. This is a hands-on high-impact position where your work will directly accelerate how our engineering team builds scales and delivers cutting-edge autonomy systems.

You will:

• Evaluate select and integrate best-in-class AI tools and platforms to support internal developer productivity.
• Configure IDEs AI agents and LLM integrations to align with our workflows and team needs.
• Optimize for long-term maintainability ensuring tools reduce not increase code complexity.
• Lead workshops training sessions and internal knowledge sharing to enable confident AI adoption.
• Fine-tune and deploy self-hosted LLMs adapted to our codebase and developer documentation.
• Experiment with and implement multi-agent frameworks to support smarter more automated development.
• Continuously monitor the AI tooling landscape to identify high-potential tools.
• Champion secure responsible AI use safeguarding IP and data.

This is your opportunity to define what AI-powered engineering looks like in a fast-paced autonomy-driven environment.

What We Are Looking For

Were looking for a curious pragmatic engineer who thrives in greenfield environments and knows how to bring AI value into a complex real-world code base at scale. Youre energized by building foundational systems that empower others and youre thoughtful about what to build why it matters and how it scales.

You understand that real impact isnt about enabling every shiny new tool its about solving one important problem at a time really well and building outward from there. You favor clarity over complexity and care about long-term sustainability in the systems you help create.

Ideally you have experience with:

• Programming against LLMs or integrating them into internal developer tooling.
• Working as a software engineer (Python experience is a strong plus or a willingness to learn).
• Delivering technical enablement through simplicity documentation training or peer support.
• Efficient and precise technical communication skills in English both written and spoken.

On the hard skills side were looking for someone who has:

• Proven experience with AI platforms especially generative AI and LLMs.
• The ability to configure and manage developer environments including IDEs and plugins.
• A strong grasp of the current AI productivity landscape with the ability to evaluate tools critically and make informed decisions

Bonus points for:

• Experience adapting LLMs to a specific internal codebase or domain.
• Familiarity with self-hosted or private AI infrastructure including CI/CD integration.
• A bachelors degree or equivalent practical experience in a relevant field (we value hands-on expertise as much as formal credentials).

Why You Should Join Six Robotics

At Six Robotics were not just building software - were redefining how unmanned systems operate in the real world. If youre driven by meaningful problems technical depth and the chance to shape something from the ground up youll find your place here.

• Work on problems that matter: Our technology helps unlock smarter safer and more adaptable UAV operations in defense and industry solving real challenges with direct tangible impact.
• Lead the shift in a hardware-dominated space: Were bringing modern AI autonomy and scalable software into a field thats long relied on rigid pre-programmed systems to change how UAVs are designed deployed and managed.
• Build from zero shape the future: Join early and help define the core systems tools and culture of a company thats still being built - where your ideas code and decisions will have a lasting influence.
• Work with purpose supported by great benefits: Youll be part of a mission-driven team that values clarity integrity and collaboration offering competitive pay equity potential strong insurance and pension plans and ongoing learning opportunities.
