Job Details

DMR Technologies is a leading innovator in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and agricultural technology solutions. By combining advanced drone systems with cutting-edge software and hardware, we help industries modernize operations, increase efficiency, and advance the future of precision agriculture.

As we expand U.S. manufacturing and engineering operations, we're seeking a Software Engineer (System) to architect, integrate, and optimize system-level software for DMR's next-generation drone platforms. This role focuses on the intersection of embedded control, communications, and data systems-ensuring our UAS products operate with precision, reliability, and scalability across diverse environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop system-level software that integrates flight control, payload management, and data communication modules.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and cloud teams to create cohesive, high-performance systems.
• Implement and optimize data pipelines between onboard systems and ground control applications.
• Develop and maintain middleware for communication across embedded and distributed components.
• Integrate third-party SDKs, APIs, and sensor interfaces into DMR's core flight software ecosystem.
• Conduct system analysis, validation, and integration testing across hardware and software boundaries.
• Troubleshoot complex system interactions and ensure stability across hardware configurations.
• Document system architecture, communication protocols, and development processes.
• Participate in Agile development cycles, code reviews, and release planning.
• Contribute to efforts around system reliability, fault tolerance, and cybersecurity.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in systems or embedded software engineering.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and familiarity with Python or Go for automation and scripting.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, interprocess communication, and real-time systems.
• Experience with Linux or RTOS-based environments.
• Knowledge of data serialization and communication protocols (e.g., MAVLink, CAN, TCP/IP).
• Strong debugging and performance optimization skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional engineering environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing software for drones, robotics, or other autonomous systems.
• Familiarity with PX4, ROS, or ArduPilot frameworks.
• Knowledge of cloud-edge data synchronization and IoT integration.
• Experience with telemetry systems, mission control interfaces, or flight data logging.
• Understanding of cybersecurity principles and secure communication standards.
• Familiarity with microservices or containerized system architecture.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Systems thinker who thrives on connecting software and hardware into cohesive solutions.
• Detail-oriented and proactive, with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Excited by the challenge of developing robust systems that perform in real-world, mission-critical environments.
• Motivated by DMR's mission to strengthen U.S.-built innovation in drone technology and advanced manufacturing.
