It continues to pursue and break world records.

The flight management software will run in the Zephyr Operations Centre and provide an interface between the UAV operators and the fleet of remote aircraft.

You will be subject to a BPSS check (including a criminal record check).

  • C++ software development
  • HMI/GUI application development

  • Familiarity with the V-model of application development
  • Experience developing safety related/critical software to RTCA DO-278 would be useful
