    • TYTAN Technologies

    At TYTAN, we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect European sovereignty.

    We are looking for a Senior Avionics Engineer to define, implement, and validate the avionics architecture of advanced UAV platforms. You will be responsible for integrating autonomy, GNC, and command & control (C2) into a coherent, reliable onboard system across fixed-wing, VTOL and transitioning aircrafts.

    This role is hands-on, system-level, and deployment-focused. You will work at the intersection of hardware and software, ensuring that all onboard systems communicate reliably and perform in real operational environments. You will act as a technical sparring partner across avionics and system integration, contributing experience, pragmatism, and strong engineering judgment.

    Your roadmap to make an impact

    • Define and own the end-to-end avionics architecture for UAV platforms, from concept to operational deployment

    • Define and implement system-level integration of flight control (GNC), autonomy stacks, and C2 links

    • Design and manage onboard communication architectures (e.g., MAVLink, DDS, Ethernet, CAN, serial protocols)

    • Integrate and validate flight controllers, companion computers, sensors, radios, and payload systems

    • Ensure robust data flow, synchronization, and fault-tolerant behavior across all subsystems

    • Take avionics systems from lab setup to real aircraft, ensuring reliable sim-to-real and bench-to-flight transition

    • Lead and support hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and system-level testing, including debugging complex integration issues

    • Work closely with GNC, autonomy, C2, and EWIS/electrical teams to ensure tight system coupling and clean interfaces

    • Support flight testing, including system bring-up, monitoring, logging, and post-flight analysis

    • Define and implement system monitoring, health checks, and fail-safe strategies

    • Document system architectures, interfaces, and integration workflows in a clear and maintainable way

    • Support integration into customer and operational environments, including Bundeswehr (Bw) requirements


    Who you are

    • Several years of hands-on experience in avionics, robotics, or UAV system integration

    • Strong experience working with real UAV systems, ideally across fixed-wing and/or VTOL platforms

    • Proven track record of integrating complex systems (flight controllers, companion computers, sensors, radios) into a working aircraft

    • Strong understanding of system architecture, interfaces, and real-time data flow

    • Experience with autopilot systems (e.g., PX4) and UAV software stacks

    • Proficiency in C++ and Python, with practical experience in ROS2 or similar middleware

    • Hands-on experience with communication protocols (e.g., MAVLink, CAN, UART, Ethernet, DDS)

    • Comfortable debugging hardware-software integration issues in real systems

    • Experience with Linux-based systems, embedded computing, and system bring-up

    • Strong systems-thinking mindset: understanding of how everything connects and fails together

    Nice to have

    • Experience with C2 systems and radio link integration, including bandwidth and latency considerations

    • Experience with HIL/SIL testing setups and simulation integration

    • Experience supporting flight testing and field deployments

    • Background in defense or safety-critical systems

    Why TYTAN?

    • Be the first to welcome the world into a deep-tech defense startup that is shaping the future of security.

    • Work in a fast-paced, international team where your contributions truly matter and your impact is immediate.

    • Participate in our success with stock options.

    • Be part of something bigger in a mission driven company.

    • Enjoy flexible working hours. 

    • Access to EGYM Wellpass sports facilities. 

    • All day coffee and snacks, team events, and a modern office in Munich.
