UAV SYSTEMS ENGINEER

Department: Engineering Department

Location: 29 Boni Ave. Cor. San Roque, Jo-Cel Building, Mandaluyong

BUILD THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE UAV

Precision Path Technologies, Inc. (PPTI) is looking for a UAV Systems Engineer to support the development, integration, testing, and optimization of advanced UAV systems.

This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working with both hardware and software—from flight controllers, sensors, and embedded systems to programming, software development, system integration, and field testing.

QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor's degree in Aeronautical/Aerospace, Electronics, Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, Systems Engineering, or a related engineering field
• Proven experience in software development or software building is REQUIRED
• Strong programming skills are REQUIRED, particularly in:
• C/C++
• Python
• Other programming languages are an advantage
• Hands-on experience developing, testing, debugging, or maintaining software applications, embedded systems, or automation solutions
• Experience with embedded systems and microcontrollers such as STM32, ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or similar platforms
• Hands-on experience in circuit troubleshooting, testing, repair, and preventive maintenance
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, technical drawings, specifications, and engineering documentation
• Experience in UAVs, robotics, autonomous systems, embedded systems, or related engineering projects is highly preferred
• Knowledge of software-hardware integration, APIs, communication protocols, or system interfaces is an advantage
• Familiarity with CAD software such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or equivalent is an advantage
• Knowledge of PCB design and schematic tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, Eagle, or similar is an advantage
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, problem-solving, and teamwork skills
• Willingness to travel locally for field testing, demonstrations, and operational support

SOFTWARE & PROGRAMMING — MUST HAVE

The successful candidate should be comfortable building and working with software, not just using existing applications.

You should be able to:

• Develop and modify software or scripts for UAV and engineering applications
• Write, test, debug, and maintain C/C++ and Python code
• Work with microcontrollers, embedded systems, and hardware interfaces
• Troubleshoot software and hardware integration issues
• Analyze system and flight data
• Develop tools or software that improve UAV operation, testing, automation, or data processing
• Collaborate with hardware and engineering teams to integrate software into UAV systems

Strong programming ability and actual software development experience are essential for this position.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Assist in the integration and configuration of UAV systems, including flight controllers, sensors, GNSS modules, telemetry systems, and remote controllers
• Configure, calibrate, tune, and optimize flight control systems
• Develop, test, and troubleshoot UAV-related software and embedded applications
• Conduct system testing, data collection, and post-flight analysis
• Troubleshoot hardware, software, and system integration issues
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, system profiles, manuals, and test reports
• Participate in UAV field tests, demonstrations, and project activities
• Support UAV deployment and regulatory inspections
• Apply UAV safety standards, aviation regulations, and industry best practices
• Work closely with hardware, software, geospatial, and operations teams
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of UAV systems and engineering solutions
