Lead Robotics/Drone Software & Computer Vision Engineer

TRDP is a Danish defence-tech startup developing autonomous interceptor drone systems. We are a small, hands-on team of 10 engineers and specialists working across robotics, software, electronics, mechanical engineering, drone building and flight testing.

We are looking for an experienced engineer who combines hands-on software development, computer vision, AI and systems architecture with the ability to guide a small engineering team. You will work alongside a software team of three robotics engineers experienced in mobile robotics, drones, and visual odometry.

Your responsibilities

• Take an active role in software development, integration, and testing.
• Contribute to computer vision, AI-based perception, object detection, tracking, and sensor fusion.
• Design and maintain the overall software architecture.
• Coordinate and prioritise development tasks within the software team.
• Integrate software, sensors, electronics, and control systems.
• Translate operational requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Work closely with electronics, mechanical engineering, and flight-testing teams.

Your background

• Degree in robotics, software engineering, computer science, or a related field.
• Strong practical experience with robotics software and complex system integration.
• Solid knowledge of computer vision, AI, and sensor fusion.
• Experience with software architecture and embedded systems.
• Ability to guide other engineers while contributing directly to development.
• Experience with C++, Python, ROS 2, PX4/ArduPilot, or similar technologies is an advantage.

Who you are
You are a hands-on engineer with a strong understanding of complete robotic systems. You enjoy writing code, solving complex technical challenges, and turning ideas into working prototypes. You can guide specialists, make architectural decisions, and ensure that individual technologies work together.

Our culture and mindset
At TRDP, we believe in no bullshit, taking responsibility, and getting things done. We value practical skills, direct communication, technical curiosity, and people who turn ideas into working solutions. We are looking for people who share our conviction in defence technology and want their engineering skills to make a real difference.
