Job Description

Senior Systems Engineer, Aviation

Flock Safety

• Work on the full drone platform, bringing together payloads, propulsion, connectivity, flight control, and other critical subsystems into a system that performs reliably in the real world. • Partner across mechanical, electrical, embedded, and connectivity teams to validate how the entire aircraft comes together, troubleshoot issues across subsystem boundaries, and improve performance through testing and iteration. • Integrate new payloads, tune flight behavior, and refine system performance.

Job Requirements

  • Experience working with unmanned aerial systems (UAS) or drone platforms
  • Hands-on experience integrating and validating complex subsystems such as payloads, propulsion, connectivity, and flight control components
  • Strong background in system-level debugging across electrical, mechanical, and software interfaces
  • Experience with flight testing and real-world performance validation
  • Experience tuning PID controllers
  • Experience working with PX4 firmware or similar flight control software
  • Familiarity with flight controller filtering, position estimation, and optimization
  • Ability to understand how an entire drone platform fits together, not just an individual subsystem
  • Background in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, robotics, mechanical engineering, or a related field
  • Prior experience in the drone industry is strongly preferred
  • Candidates from adjacent robotics, aerospace, or autonomous systems backgrounds may also be considered if they bring relevant hands-on UAS or vehicle integration experience
  • Portfolio of hobby, side, or personal projects involving drones, robotics, or autonomous systems is a strong plus
  • Must be based in or willing to relocate to Atlanta, GA
