About Us

CubeNexus is building the true spatial web—a revolutionary platform that combines precise spatiotemporal data with cutting-edge AI and hardware solutions. As part of our mission to redefine geospatial intelligence, we are integrating our CubeNexus TULSA (Time United Location System Address) technology into Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) precise navigation system, enabling unmatched location certainty and reliability. This is a rare opportunity to work at the forefront of UAV development and play a critical role in pioneering autonomous aerial navigation systems.

In this full-time, W-2 position, you will leverage your expertise in hardware (Raspberry Pi & Jettson), UAV software (ArduPilot & PX4), and embedded systems to integrate CubeNexus technology into drone platforms. Our system provides enhanced navigation redundancy ensuring fail-safe operations in challenging environments (GPS-Denied), your work will directly contribute to breakthroughs in aerospace, defense, and commercial UAV applications.

Due to the nature of our work, including potential collaborations with defense and government projects, applicants must be U.S. Citizens . This requirement ensures compliance with federal regulations and eligibility to work on sensitive projects involving national security. Proof of U.S. citizenship will be required during the hiring process.

Your Role

We’re looking for a hands-on UAV Hardware / Software Engineer with a deep understanding of drone systems and embedded hardware using Mavlink and GPIO ports . You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop, test, and deploy CubeNexus technology as a reliable primary navigation system for UAVs.

Key Responsibilities

  • System Integration : Integrate CubeNexus TULSA technology from the Nvidia Jetson into the ArduPilot / PX4 navigation input.
  • This is hands on hardware / software SIL / HIL lab work
  • Firmware Development : Modify, fork, and optimize UAV firmware to support CubeNexus-enabled navigation.
  • Hardware Implementation : Work with embedded systems like Raspberry Pi, Jetson, and Pixhawk / CubePilot to run CubeNexus software on UAV platforms.
  • Testing & Validation : Develop testing protocols for UAVs to verify CubeNexus navigation functionality in real-world conditions (outdoor & indoor)
  • Cross-Industry Application : Adapt UAV systems for applications in agriculture, oil and gas, and defense, ensuring robust performance across diverse environments.

What You Bring

Required Skills

  • Deep knowledge of robotics and UAV systems, including experience with ArduPilot, PX4, CubePilot, and Pixhawk platforms. Must have built a drone not just bought a DJI.
  • Proficiency in Linux, C , Python, and working with embedded systems like Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano / AGX .
  • Proficiency and prompting skills with multiple AI platforms including but not limited to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity.
  • Hands-on experience building and configuring UAVs, including hardware selection, assembly, and troubleshooting.
  • Strong understanding of RTK Navigation .
  • Familiarity with forking open-source projects (GitHub) and integrating custom firmware modifications.
  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Drones, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields.
  • Preferred Skills

  • Experience with UAV communication protocols such as MAVLink.
  • Familiarity with sensor fusion algorithms and integrating IMUs, LIDAR, and other sensors into navigation systems.
  • Knowledge of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and flight controllers (ArduPilot parameter development).
  • Understanding of autonomous systems for military or commercial applications.
  • Security and compliance knowledge for aerial systems in defense or commercial use cases.
  • If your compensation planning software is too rigid to deploy winning incentive strategies, it’s time to find an adaptable solution. Compensation Planning
