We are seeking a highly skilled
Qt/QML Engineer to design and develop advanced GUIs and networking modules for UAV Ground Control Stations and Cockpit Displays. The role requires working closely with UI designers, avionics software engineers, and mission systems experts to create reliable, intuitive, and real-time GCS components for mission-critical systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain high-performance UI applications using Qt/QML (Qt Quick, QML, C++).
- Translate system requirements into responsive, interactive, and user-friendly interfaces.
- Generate data scheduling schemes, encode data packets as per required protocols and data rates and transmit to drone(s) as per protocol
- Decode incoming data streams as per the protocols, extract data, store, and populate corresponding UI elements.
- Integrate UI and networking components with real-time data streams from avionics systems, UAVs, or mission control software.
- Collaborate with engineers to ensure compliance with DO-178C, or MIL-STD guidelines where applicable.
- Optimise application performance for low-latency visualisation and data transmission in mission-critical environments.
- Implement data visualisation (raster and vector maps, telemetry, flight parameters, mission planning overlays).
- Write clean, testable, and maintainable code while adhering to aerospace software standards.
- Work with cross-functional teams (system engineers, hardware engineers, test teams) to validate UI against operational requirements.
- Support debugging, simulation, and testing activities, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's / Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
- 1-3 years of experience in developing Qt/QML-based applications (Qt Quick, QML, Qt Widgets, QTcpSockets, QtUdpSockets).
- Strong proficiency in C++ (11/14/17) and object-oriented programming.
- Experience integrating UI with real-time data sources (TCP/IP, UDP, serial, CAN, DDS, etc.).
- Knowledge of multithreading, performance optimisation, and memory management.
- Familiarity with aerospace/automotive domain software practices or mission-critical systems.
- Good understanding of UX principles for operator consoles and mission planning systems.
- Strong problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills.
Desirable Skills
- Experience with GIS/Mapping libraries (OpenSceneGraph, Cesium, Marble, etc.).
- Knowledge of OpenGL, Vulkan, or 3D visualisation frameworks.
- Exposure to DO-178C or aerospace software compliance.
- Familiarity with UAV ground control software (QGroundControl, Mission Planner, etc.) or similar mission systems.
- Experience with Linux and cross-platform development (Windows/Linux).
- Scripting knowledge in Python for tooling and automation.
- Background in defence, aerospace, automotive or embedded systems domain.
What We Offer
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge aerospace and defence technologies.
- Collaborative and innovation-driven work culture.
- Exposure to real-world avionics and mission systems.
- Growth opportunities in autonomy, AI/ML for aerospace, and avionics UI systems.
Skills:- QML, Qt, C++ and Python
