The Software sub team at QADT builds the systems that let our aircraft sense, decide, and fly autonomously. From low-level control code to flight software and simulation, the software sub team will work to build reliable software for our UAVs to compete in competitions across the globe. As a member of the Software team, you will have the opportunity to develop the internal system including but not limited to the navigation system hardware communication. Members will attend weekly/biweekly meetings, manage tasks using GitHub, and test using simulation software and physical drones to replicate the competition.

Responsibilities

  • As a member of the Software team, you will have the opportunity to develop the internal system including but not limited to the navigation system hardware communication.
  • In addition, members will be attending weekly/biweekly meetings where the team will discuss the task they are working on alongside any challenges they have encountered. Tasks will be managed using GitHub, where members can update the status of their task (to-do, in progress, completed). After software development is completed, the team will test using simulation software and test using the physical drone to replicate the competition.

Requirements

  • The Software sub team at QADT builds the systems that let our aircraft sense, decide, and fly autonomously. From low-level control code to flight software and simulation, the software sub team will work to build reliable software for our UAVs to compete in competitions across the globe. Whether you're into robotics, controls, computer vision, or just want to get hands-on experience shipping real-time software that flies, this is a team where you'll learn fast, work on hardware that actually leaves the ground, and be part of a tight-knit group that competes. No prior aerospace experience needed, just curiosity, a willingness to learn, and enthusiasm for building things that work.
