build! GmbH 26
As a young spin-off we are equipping drones with a new-generation low-cost technology package to reach full GPS-independent autonomy. The technology originates from our work at the ETH Zurich, the University of Klagenfurt and NASA’s JPL and has been successfully proven by the Mars Ingenuity mission. We firmly believe that our technology will open a new level of autonomy for a wide variety of industries by finally transferring it from R&D to the industry. Endless & affordable applications for everyone – no fancy, expensive and bulky drones! We are currently finalizing our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) together with our partners in the agricultural sector before extending it to further industries (oil & gas, civil construction, security, port operations).
Our vision: to provide every commercial drone user and service provider with a low-cost product to upgrade their drones with maximum flexibility & reliability.
With a significant government funding already secured, we are offering (from Mar./Apr. 2023 on) 3 positions for Autonomy Software Engineers (m/w/d).
Your tasks will include:
- Design modules to enable fully automated missions in real-world applications – take-off, flight, landing, recharging w/o human intervention.
- Responsibility to plan & implement pilot scenarios: work with our partners/customers & our lead engineer to optimize the end-user interfaces.
- Build partnerships: gather & evaluate data support major savings for our customers; build customer trust.
- Contribute to our product strategy: apply your acquired knowledge to a long-term strategy.
Required skills:
- Experience in software development (C++); knowledge in Linux, Robot Operating System (ROS) and computer vision is an advantage; knowledge in processing sensor data & robot control is an advantage.

We offer:
- Fully paid employment – with university contracts & according benefits (salary according to applicant’s level & Austrian university regulations); with share participation based on your performance.
- Flexible work locations – work at Klagenfurt is preferred but we live an open and flexible working culture
- World-leading experts in drone autonomy having worked on Mars’ Ingenuity and countless space & aerospace projects
- High-end testing facilities with one of Europe’s largest and most modern drone halls in Klagenfurt (Austria) to play around with our highly disruptive technology! Real-world applications with our customers
- Passion for our cause - a diverse team, an open mindset to bring autonomy to everyone – be part of our lift-off team!
