Munich, DE · Full-time · €48,000 – €62,000

About this role

At TYTAN Technologies we develop AI-driven autonomous air defense systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people, critical infrastructure, and European sovereignty through cost-efficient UAV platforms.

As a Junior Avionics Engineer you will integrate flight controllers, companion computers, sensors, radios, and payload systems into fixed-wing and multicopter interceptors. The role centers on real hardware integration across communication architectures such as MAVLink, CAN, UART, and Ethernet.

You will contribute to hardware-in-the-loop testing, bench testing, lab bring-up, and flight test activities including system monitoring and post-flight analysis. Close collaboration with Systems, GNC, and C2 teams ensures avionics subsystems function reliably in safety-critical environments.

The position offers direct exposure to embedded Linux, autopilot software, and fault detection work from day one. You will grow within a deep-tech defense company shaping the future of autonomous air security in Europe.

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 legally authorized to work in Germany

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 including MAVLink, CAN, UART, and Ethernet
