Job description

Evolved Aerospace develops mission-critical aerospace systems designed for real operational use.
We combine autonomy, software, sensing, and systems integration to deliver capability that performs in contested and constrained environments — not just in test settings.
Our work is guided by a simple principle: platforms are means, not the objective. Mission outcomes define success.

Flight Control Systems Engineer

Location: Linkoping, Sweden
Team: Onboard Autonomy

You’ll own development inside PX4/ArduPilot, building and tuning flight-critical behaviours for autonomous aircraft operating in complex environments.
