Munich, DE · Full-time · €58,000 – €78,000

About this role

At TYTAN Technologies in Munich, the Avionics Engineer supports development of AI-driven UAV platforms that counter aerial threats and protect critical infrastructure across Europe.

The role centers on integrating flight controllers, companion computers, sensors, radios, and payload systems into both fixed-wing and multicopter interceptors.

Daily work includes implementing MAVLink, CAN, UART, and Ethernet architectures, running hardware-in-the-loop tests, debugging hardware-software issues, and maintaining Python and C++ scripts for configuration and automation.

Engineers collaborate with Systems, GNC, and C2 teams while contributing to system health monitoring, fail-safe definitions, and flight-test data analysis in a hands-on defense hardware environment.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field
Hands-on experience with embedded Linux systems and basic system bring-up through coursework, thesis, internship, or personal projects
Familiarity with communication protocols such as CAN, UART, or Ethernet
Basic proficiency in Python and/or C++ with clean, readable code
Hands-on experience with autopilot software such as PX4 or ArduPilot, or robotics middleware such as ROS2
Curiosity about hardware and software interaction in safety-critical real-time systems
Ability to work on-site in Munich and available to start immediately or within a short notice period
Legally authorized to work in Germany with no visa sponsorship available

Responsibilities

Support the integration of flight controllers, companion computers, sensors, radios, and payload systems into UAV platforms
Assist in implementing and validating onboard communication architectures using MAVLink, CAN, UART, and Ethernet
Contribute to hardware-in-the-loop testing setups, bench testing, and lab bring-up activities
Debug hardware-software integration issues across avionics subsystems
Write and maintain Python and C++ scripts for system configuration, logging, and test automation
Support flight testing activities including system monitoring, data logging, and post-flight analysis
Document system architectures, interfaces, and integration workflows
Contribute to system health monitoring, fail-safe definitions, and fault detection

Benefits

Join a deep-tech defense company shaping the future of autonomous air security in Europe
Work hands-on with real UAV hardware from the first weeks, not just simulations
