We’re Hiring: Software Engineer for airborne systems

At BlueBird Aero Systems, we don’t build software that sits quietly on servers.

We write code that flies, operates in hostile environments, and delivers real-time intelligence where it matters most.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy juggling architecture decisions with hands-on debugging, and get a rush when your code survives real-world field trials—keep reading.

What you'll be doing:

• Design, code, and optimize airborne software running on FreeRTOS and Linux
• Work on mission-critical systems inside advanced UAS platforms
• Collaborate daily with system engineers, hardware, algorithms, and integration teams
• Take part in field trials, system integration, testing, and troubleshooting
• Debug software where logs are limited and reliability is non-negotiable
• Turn complex requirements into stable, real-time, airborne solutions

Essential requirements:

This role is for engineers who enjoy controlled chaos.

You’ll fit right in if you:

• Have 5+ years of strong C++ and OOP experience
• Are comfortable working in RTOS and Linux environments
• Understand communication protocols and HW-SW integration
• Can troubleshoot complex, multidisciplinary system issues
• Like working fast, learning constantly, and owning your code end-to-end
• Enjoy collaboration and don’t hide behind tickets and specs
• Are genuinely passionate about aviation and aerospace

Bonus points if you bring:

• Experience with embedded / real-time systems
• Background in video or image processing
• Experience with video-based target detection, object tracking and Edge AI
• Python knowledge
• Experience with military and/or airborne systems

Why BlueBird?

• Software that goes from code → aircraft → real missions

• A fast-moving, hands-on engineering culture

• Real ownership, real impact, real responsibility

• Multidisciplinary teams that build together

• A company that values creativity, execution, and initiative
