Embedded Systems Engineer

HyLight is revolutionizing infrastructure monitoring with their innovative HyLighters - autonomous airships designed for long-range data collection with zero emissions. The company's mission is to enhance society's resilience to climate change through improved infrastructure observation and inspection.

As an Embedded Systems Engineer, you'll be at the intersection of electronics, embedded programming, and hardware integration. This hands-on role offers strong growth potential and direct impact on product development. Working under the guidance of the mechatronics engineer, you'll develop and integrate new embedded systems, enhance existing electronics' robustness, participate in system architecture, and be involved in software-hardware development.

The company has achieved significant milestones in just 3 years, including:

• Developing 8 iterations of the HyLighter
• Logging over 200 flight hours
• Securing contracts with major European infrastructure operators
• Joining Y Combinator
• Raising €6 million in funding

The role requires expertise in:

• Microcontrollers (ESP32, Atmega328)
• Communication Protocols (UART, CAN, I2C, PWM, SPI, RS485)
• Programming languages (C/C++, Python)
• Electronics and PCB design

The team values diversity and inclusion, seeking candidates who are autonomous, curious, and passionate about the drone industry. The position offers competitive compensation, equity, and excellent benefits including free lunch and bi-annual team trips.

Located at Base 217, Brétigny-sur-Orge (accessible via RER C), you'll work alongside experts in embedded systems, aerospace, and hydrogen propulsion. This is an opportunity to join a growing team of 17 people and make significant contributions to revolutionary technology in aerial monitoring.
