About Promethion Industries
Promethion Industries is a European defence technology company building autonomous supremacy systems for aerial and multi-domain operations. Our mission is to enable decisive autonomy for NATO-aligned forces - through tightly integrated autonomy stacks designed and built in Europe. Our focus is defensive and counter-system capabilities, including anti-UAS and resilient autonomy under contested conditions.
We are looking for a Lead UAS Systems & Edge AI Architect.
Your mission with us
-
Own the end-to-end technical architecture of our autonomous aerial systems.
-
Define how flight control, edge compute, sensors, perception, state estimation, autonomy, RF/C2 and payload systems work together as one aircraft.
-
Define and maintain clear subsystem interfaces, timing budgets, compute budgets and integration.
-
Turn research prototypes into deployable airborne systems with clear interfaces, timing requirements and compute allocation.
-
Architect the onboard compute stack across flight controllers, embedded Linux systems, GPUs and dedicated accelerators.
-
Make pragmatic decisions between ROS2, existing middleware and custom high-performance runtime components.
-
Lead rapid integration of new cameras, sensing modalities, AI models and autonomy algorithms onto flying platforms.
-
Work directly with the aircraft, flight-test team and engineering leads to identify system bottlenecks and resolve them quickly.
-
Drive the system from laboratory prototypes toward robust, repeatable field operation.
-
Maintain a strong understanding of weight, power, thermal, latency, bandwidth and reliability constraints.
-
Own technical quality across subsystem boundaries and prevent local engineering decisions from compromising overall system performance.
Your contribution to the team (required)
-
Significant hands-on experience architecting and deploying complex robotic or autonomous systems.
-
Strong experience with real hardware — not simulation-only development.
-
Experience deploying perception, autonomy or AI workloads onto embedded / edge compute.
-
Strong understanding of robotics software architecture, sensor pipelines and real-time systems.
-
Solid C++ and Linux background.
-
Experience with ROS / ROS2 or comparable robotics middleware.
-
Strong understanding of embedded compute, networking and hardware interfaces.
-
Ability to reason across perception, estimation, planning, flight control and embedded systems.
-
Proven ability to move quickly from system concept to working prototype.
-
Comfortable working directly with flight hardware, logs, telemetry and test equipment.
-
Proven experience taking at least one complex robotic or autonomous system from prototype to deployed operation.
Even if you don’t tick every box, we encourage you to apply - we’d love to hear from you.
