About Flybotix: Flybotix is a recognized Swiss robotics scale-up (based near Lausanne) building the ASIO indoor-inspection drone, which keeps humans out of hazardous confined spaces while delivering 20+ minutes of visual inspection for sewer, hydro power, oil & gas, maritime and chemical-plant applications.
Role: As a hands-on Robotics Software Engineer (Ground Control & Onboard Systems), you shape the embedded and mobile software powering the drones and ground control stations, directly impacting autonomous navigation, real-time control and user experience.
Responsibilities: build and enhance the ground control station GUI with real-time telemetry and data visualization; design and maintain onboard-computer embedded software for collecting, recording and streaming inspection data; fine-tune system performance with software and firmware engineers; develop the communication protocols linking drone, ground station and cloud; optimize for memory-efficient, reliable operation in resource-constrained environments; uphold code quality via unit testing, CI/CD and reviews; and contribute to architectural decisions.
Profile: 5+ years in embedded and mobile software for robotics/drones/real-time applications; strong Rust for performance-critical components; C++ for embedded; expertise in ROS2 and gstreamer; familiarity with embedded Linux, containerization, ARM systems and video encoding/decoding; GUI development (egui/Qt) and 3D visualization (OpenGL/Vulkan/game engines); strong performance-optimization and debugging skills; excellent English (French a plus). Nice to have: PX4/ArduPilot, CUDA/OpenCL (NVIDIA Jetson), game-engine experience, open-source contributions.
What they offer: a dynamic, fast-growing environment with measurable impact, continuous training, modern offices, weekly fitness sessions, on-site catering and a strong people-first culture.
