Mission Systems Integration Engineer at odys aviation | LAYIQ

Payload-to-Aircraft Integration
Integrate diverse mission-specific payloads - EO/IR and vision sensors, cargo/delivery mechanisms, medical transport modules, communications relays, ISR and defense packages onto the aircraft as safe, reliable, mission-ready configurations.
Define and validate the mechanical, electrical, power, data, and software interfaces between payloads and the airframe, and capture them in payload ICDs.
Establish reusable, modular payload integration patterns so new payloads can be brought onto the platform quickly and repeatably.
Verify payload command, control, and data flow through the autopilot, onboard compute, and GCS across each mission configuration.
Characterize the impact of payloads on aircraft-level behavior (power budgets, EMI/EMC, weight & balance, thermal, latency) and drive resolution of integration issues.
System, Avionics & GCS Integration
Integrate avionics, sensors, and payloads into a cohesive onboard system - including autopilot, navigation, vision, electrical, mechanical, and power management components.
Own the integration between airborne systems and the Ground Control Station (GCS), enabling robust telemetry, video, payload control, and C2 links.
Integrate real-time communication and streaming protocols across subsystems (e.g., MAVLink, Ethernet, CAN, RTSP, UDP, or proprietary links).
Bring up and integrate flight control, mission logic, communication links, and payload interfaces into a validated end-to-end system.
Test, Verification & Validation
Lead software-hardware integration, debugging, and validation using SIL/HIL test setups and during ground or flight test campaigns.
Plan, execute, and document payload and system integration and test campaigns, verifying each mission configuration end-to-end and driving issues to closure.
Develop automated test environments and contribute to CI/CD workflows for verification and regression testing.
Analyze flight logs and system data to characterize system performance and identify integration and optimization opportunities.
Systems Engineering & Safety
Support requirements definition, ICD documentation, and traceability for integration, verification, and validation tasks in collaboration with system engineering.
Collaborate with avionics and systems teams to verify compliance with redundancy, fault tolerance, and safety design principles.
Participate in software and system reviews, interface discussions, integration planning, and verification & validation activities across hardware and software domains.
Supporting Software Development
Develop and maintain embedded and application-level scripts, test harnesses, and tooling that enable integration and validation of UAS subsystems.
Contribute to onboard autonomy, sensing, detection, and vision-based navigation features as needed to support integration and test objectives.
Required Qualifications
Degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronic, Aerospace, or Systems Engineering (or equivalent).
2+ years of experience in system integration, test, or verification & validation for UASs, eVTOLs, or other embedded aerospace/robotics systems.
Hands-on experience integrating payloads and avionics subsystems onto a vehicle or platform sensors, controllers, actuators, communications, and data links - including their mechanical, electrical, power, and data interfaces.
Experience with SIL/HIL test setups, ground/flight test campaigns, and real-time debugging of integrated hardware/software systems.
Strong understanding of hardware/software interaction and real-time debugging on SoMs such as NVIDIA Jetson or NXP iMX.
Working proficiency in C/C++ and Python sufficient to build test tooling, harnesses, and support integration efforts.
Strong experience with Linux (embedded and desktop) and middleware for robotic or avionics applications.
Excellent teamwork and communication skills across mechanical, electrical, and software domains.
