Software Engineer
Ground Control Station Software Engineer focused on building low‑latency, reliable operator systems for C‑UAS interceptors, integrating radar‑track visualization, drone communication, video streaming, and distributed networking using Python, C++, JavaScript/React, WebRTC, MQTT on Linux.
About the Role
At Quantum Systems, our interceptor systems are not only drones. They are complete operational systems consisting of aircraft, ground control stations, sensor inputs, communication links, launch infrastructure, charging systems, operator interfaces, and data flows.
We are looking for a Ground Control Station Software Engineer to develop and improve the software stack that connects these elements into one reliable and low-latency operator system. You will work on frontend and backend components of our control station software, including radar-track visualization, track selection, drone communication, video transmission, mode control, distributed ground-station networking, launchbox integration, logging, and diagnostics.
This role is ideal for a software engineer who enjoys building real systems that interact with hardware, operators, networks, sensors, and vehicles.
Your Mission
You will develop the software that enables operators to understand the airspace, select and manage tracks, communicate with drones, monitor system state, and operate connected launch and charging infrastructure.
What is your Day to Day Mission:
Develop frontend and backend features for the Ground Control Station software stack.
Display radar tracks and other sensor inputs in a clear, usable, and low-latency operator interface.
Implement low-latency data routing for tracks, vehicle state, sensor information, operator actions, and system events.
Support track selection, track handover, prioritization, and command workflows.
Improve communication interfaces between Ground Control Station, drones, launch infrastructure, and other system components.
Integrate video transmission, video display, stream monitoring, and latency diagnostics.
Build mode-control concepts that allow the system to switch clearly between operational states.
Develop networking features for distributed ground-station setups and remote-control workflows.
Integrate launchbox functionality such as door state, charging state, vehicle status, health monitoring, and operator commands.
Build diagnostics, logging, replay, and debugging tools to support field testing and engineering analysis.
Work closely with flight-test teams to identify issues in real test setups and improve software reliability.
Collaborate with autonomy, embedded software, radar/sensor integration, electronics, and systems engineering teams.
Improve robustness, error handling, startup/shutdown behavior, and operator feedback.
What You Bring to the Team
Professional experience in software development for networked, real-time, embedded, robotics, aerospace, defense, or industrial systems.
Strong programming skills in Rust , C++ , TypeScript , Python , or comparable languages. Rust experience is a strong plus.
