Job Summary
Software Integration Engineer Mission Systems
Location: London UK or Linköping Sweden
Industry: Aerospace / Defence / ISR / UAV Systems
Employment Type: Full Time
Overview:
A leading innovator in spatial intelligence and mission-critical technology is seeking a Software Integration Engineer to join its Mission Systems team. The organisation builds advanced geospatial AI-powered and ISR solutions that integrate into platforms such as UAVs edge computing systems and defence environments.
This is a hands-on customer-facing engineering role for someone who enjoys solving complex integration challenges working with cutting-edge sensor data and enabling real-world impact in mission environments.
You will work at the intersection of software embedded systems payload integration and customer operationssupporting the deployment of next-generation spatial intelligence tools into UAV and ISR ecosystems.
Key Responsibilities:
Serve as the technical lead for solution integrations involving satellite imagery full motion video and related sensor data into UAV visual positioning odometry and navigation systems.
Collaborate with UAV OEMs defence integrators and mission customers to support system demonstrations prototyping and field testing.
Conduct bench and field integration activities including configuration of companion computers (e.g. NVIDIA Jetson Raspberry Pi) autopilot stacks (PX4 ArduPilot) and analysis of telemetry imagery and navigation data.
Assess integration feasibility including SWaP considerations and solution design ensuring successful deployment in demanding environments.
Develop integration procedures test plans troubleshooting documentation and technical guides.
Provide feedback to internal engineering teams to enhance product performance usability and reliability under operational conditions.
Contribute to technical materials for RFP/RFI responses and solution proposals.
Collaborate with internal product engineering and field teams to define interfaces data flows and integration paths between software products and OEM systems.
Support the technical articulation and positioning of capabilities to high-value customers.
Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelors degree in a STEM field (Aerospace Computer Science Electrical/Mechanical Engineering Mathematics) or equivalent practical experience.
Experience supporting ISR UAS aerospace or defence system integrations.
Strong proficiency in Python and C for integration SDK adaptation and prototype development.
Experience with ISR-relevant imagery/video formats: GeoTIFF MPEG-TS KLV metadata H.264/H.265 STANAG 4609 MISB.
Understanding of 3D terrain formats (DEM/DTED 3D Tiles) and coordinate systems such as WGS84 UTM.
Familiarity with frameworks/tools such as OpenCV PyTorch GDAL Cesium Unity.
Practical knowledge of embedded Linux systems (Jetson Raspberry Pi NXP).
Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally across product engineering and field teams.
Ability to travel domestically or internationally (approx. 25% occasionally up to 50%).
Preferred Qualifications:
Masters degree in Engineering Computer Vision Software Engineering or related field.
Experience with embedded Linux tools/configurations: systemd Yocto Docker.
Knowledge of GNSS/INS video odometry or visual-inertial fusion systems.
Experience with UAV systems including configuration tuning and troubleshooting with autopilot interfaces.
Familiarity with OGC geospatial standards (WMS WMTS WFS) and real-time streaming protocols.
Experience with data transport frameworks such as ZeroMQ Protobuf.
Hands-on experience building or modifying companion computer architectures (Jetson Raspberry Pi STM32MP1).
Background in AI/ML for computer vision sensor fusion or ISR analytics.
Experience performing technical feasibility assessments for mission-critical or edge-deployed systems.
Valid UK or EU security clearance is a bonus.
