About Us

Souremphi develops advanced autonomous systems for defense and mining operations.

Our platforms combine AI, high-performance engineering, and field-tested reliability to operate in complex and demanding environments.

We deliver scalable, mission-ready solutions built for real-world conditions.

About the Role

As a GNC / Controls Engineer on the UAV team at Souremphi, you'll design and develop state estimation, guidance, and control laws, take them from simulation (SITL/HITL) to embedded implementation, and validate in flight. You’ll collaborate across autonomy, perception, and embedded teams to deliver robust real-time behavior on mission-critical platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement state estimation, guidance, and control algorithms (PID/LQR/MPC)
  • Build sensor fusion pipelines (e.g., EKF, visual-inertial) and tune flight controllers
  • Run Monte Carlo, SITL, and HITL simulations; analyze flight logs and iterate
  • Integrate algorithms on embedded targets with strict real-time constraints
  • Collaborate with autonomy, perception, and embedded teams for system-level tuning
  • Contribute to flight test planning, execution, safety, and regression analysis

You should have the following

  • Degree in Aerospace, Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or related field
  • Strong foundations in control theory, estimation, and flight dynamics
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python for algorithm development and tooling
  • Hands-on experience with PX4/ArduPilot or equivalent autopilot stacks
  • Comfort analyzing logs and implementing data-driven improvements

Nice to have

  • Experience with GPS-denied navigation (vision/LiDAR/terrain-relative)
  • Familiarity with MPC and nonlinear control methods
  • Experience with Unreal/AirSim/Gazebo and HIL environments
  • Contributions to open-source robotics or autopilot projects

We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Souremphi.
