Embedded C/C++ and autopilot expertise define this in office Edmonton role with Terrestrial X’s Def Tech research and development team. Work directly with real aircraft hardware.
As an Embedded Flight Software Engineer, you will configure Ardu Pilot or PX4 and develop firmware for STM32, ESP32, and onboard peripherals. You will combine software development with electronics, avionics integration, and practical testing. The work supports integrated, tested systems and reproducible documentation.
Key Responsibilities: Configure, tune, and extend Ardu Pilot or PX4 on Cube/Pixhawk
Own flight modes, failsafe logic, and parameter sets
Write C/C++ firmware for engines, telemetry, payloads, and sensors
Integrate radios, GNSS, and Linux companions over MAVLink
Run SITL, HIL,



and flight-log analysis before implementing fixes
Requirements: Four or more years of embedded C/C++ experience typically expected
STM32, ESP32, or comparable platform experience with an RTOS
Hands-on Ardu Pilot or PX4 configuration, simulation, and flight-log diagnosis
UART, I²C, SPI, CAN/Drone CAN, and MAVLink knowledge
Oscilloscope, logic analyser, schematic-reading, soldering, and Git experience
Apply embedded fundamentals, autopilot knowledge, and hardware-debugging discipline to Terrestrial X aircraft systems in Edmonton.
