Robotics Engineer — Agent Control & UAV Autonomy (m/w/d)

At Alpine Eagle, we’re building the future of counter-drone defence. We’re a fast-growing, international deep-tech company working at the intersection of aerospace engineering, defence systems, and machine learning. Our goal: create the world’s first swarm-based, airborne counter-drone system.

Modern conflicts show how quickly drones are reshaping the battlefield. Threats are rising, and today’s solutions aren’t keeping pace. We’re here to change that.

Alpine Eagle isn’t just a defence company. It’s a mission. Backed by an international team, strong funding, and a bold vision, we’re looking for people who want to shape the next generation of aerial security and build something that truly matters.

 

🎯 How you will make an impact:

• Design multi-agent coordination algorithms for collaborative UAV behavior 

• Develop decision-making and task allocation systems 

• Implement collision avoidance and mission planning logic 

• Build behavior trees / state machines / planners for autonomous missions 

• Integrate perception and sensor fusion outputs into actions 

• Develop simulation environments for large-scale autonomous testing 

• Improve automation workflows to reduce operator workload 

• Collaborate closely with AI, perception, and hardware teams 

✅ What you need to be successful:

• Strong software engineering skills (C++ required, Python highly useful) 
• Experience with robotics middleware (ROS/ROS2 or similar) 
• Background in robotics, computer science, or AI-driven systems 
• Knowledge of planning and decision-making algorithms 
• Experience with autonomous robots or UAV systems 
• Comfortable performing hands-on testing and debugging in field environments, including challenging weather conditions and time-critical operational scenarios. 
• Ability to design scalable, maintainable software architectures
