About the Role

Our client is a Swiss technology company developing advanced autonomous and drone systems for demanding industrial environments. Their software ecosystem includes onboard systems, ground-control applications, real-time telemetry, video streaming, visualization, and operator interfaces.

We are looking for a hands-on Rust Software Engineer with strong experience building desktop/UI applications, real-time software, and interactive visualization systems.

The ideal candidate has substantial professional experience with Rust and has worked on software involving ground-control stations, drones, mapping, 3D visualization, telemetry, simulation, or other complex technical user interfaces.

Deep robotics experience is helpful but not essential. Strong software engineering, UI, visualization, and real-time application experience are more important.

CONTRACT: Long term contract or EOR model

LOCATIONS: REMOTE

Key Responsibilities

Develop and improve ground-control and operator-facing applications for autonomous and drone systems.
Build high-performance software primarily using Rust.
Develop responsive desktop GUIs and technical user interfaces for monitoring and controlling complex systems.
Implement telemetry, real-time data visualization, system status monitoring, and operator workflows.
Work with 2D/3D visualization, maps, sensor data, or other interactive graphical components.
Integrate software with drones, robotic platforms, embedded systems, and external services.
Develop real-time communication and data-streaming functionality.
Contribute to video-processing and streaming workflows.
Optimize application performance, memory usage, multithreading, latency, and responsiveness.
Contribute to software architecture and technical design decisions.
Maintain high engineering standards through testing, CI/CD, code reviews, and structured debugging.

Requirements

At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience.
Strong, recent professional experience developing production software in Rust.
Experience building desktop applications, GUIs, visualization tools, or operator-facing software.
Experience with UI frameworks such as egui, Qt, GTK, Tauri, or comparable technologies.
Experience with real-time data, telemetry, networking, streaming, or event-driven systems.
Strong understanding of multithreading, memory management, performance optimization, and asynchronous programming.
Experience working in Linux environments.
Strong software architecture and debugging skills.

Experience in one or more of the following would be particularly valuable:

Drone ground-control software or Ground Control Stations (GCS)
UAV or autonomous-system operator interfaces
3D visualization, mapping, GIS, or simulation software
Robotics visualization or monitoring tools
Telemetry dashboards and real-time control applications
Video streaming or processing using GStreamer
ROS2 or robotics middleware
Embedded or edge systems
C++ for performance-critical applications
MAVLink, PX4, ArduPilot, or similar drone technologies
