Software Engineer

Job description

We’re not a drone company.

We design and build mission systems.

Evolved Aerospace is growing its software team by 15 engineers across autonomy, AI, onboard flight systems, operator control, and simulation — scaling platforms from edge compute to mission-level decision-making.

All roles are full-time, onsite in Bristol. Global applicants welcome; relocation provided.

Roles across four core teams

Autonomy, AI & CCI

• AI Systems Engineer (Edge / MLOps)
• Computer Vision Engineer
• Sensor Fusion Engineer
• Autonomy Engineer (Planning & Behaviour)
• Distributed Systems Engineer
• Data Engineer (Simulation & Synthetic Data)

Onboard Autonomy

• Senior Embedded Systems Engineer / Tech Lead (Edge AI)
• Flight Control Systems Engineer
• GNC Engineer
• Perception Engineer

Ground C2

• Senior Full-Stack Engineer (C2 Lead)
• Backend Software Engineer (Real-time APIs)
• Geospatial Software Engineer

Infrastructure & Simulation

• Senior DevOps Engineer (Autonomy / Robotics)
• Simulation Engineer

Our stack spans real-time C++, PX4 / ArduPilot, Jetson & CUDA, autonomy & perception pipelines, distributed systems, and mission-critical operator software.

If you care about outcomes, not demos — and want your work deployed at scale — we should talk.
