Design, build (and own) the flight control hardware and software (likely based on PX4) of our next generation drone/kite based wind turbine. You will work together with 3 pioneers within Airborne Wind Energy competing to be the first team to reach commercilisation. Useful skills but not necessar: General robotics experience, data analysis, PX4, C++, embedded electronics, flight control theory. Ideal candidate: Perfer equity over salary passionate about Airborne wind energy.

We are trying to set a team of 4 that will be the first to commercialise and make Airborne Wind Energy a reality. We are looking for an engineer to be responsible for the flight controller of our next generations of kites.

• Our next development goal is to reach 24 hours of continuous flight.
• We have secured funding for the next 18 months. 

Skills that will probably be needed:

• Flight control theory (multi-rotor & fixed wing)
• General robotics experience (autonomy)
• Data analysis
• PX4
• C++
• Embedded and general electronics.

The work will involve a great deal of practical work (flight tests  as we believe it's much more efficient to build and test the thing ourselves than having another layer of employees. The organisational structure (for the 4 of us) will very flat and we will strive for solids arguments to be the basis of any decision. We are based at DTU Skylab outside Copenhagen.
