Software Engineer

About the role

Kraus Hamdani Aerospace (KHA) is an aerospace company specializing in long-endurance unmanned aerial platforms for a wide variety of industries. KHA supports a number of customers to carry out missions involving aerial reconnaissance, survey, communication relay and communications provisioning. Endurance, enabled by effective design, is key to these applications and KHA aircraft utilize cutting-edge aircraft design together with on-board intelligence to deliver value for these customers.

Kraus Hamdani Aerospace is seeking a versatile Software Engineer to design, build, deploy, and support software for autonomous aircraft systems.

This role is ideal for a strong software engineering generalist who is comfortable working across different parts of the technology stack and taking ownership of loosely defined technical problems. The successful candidate will be able to translate evolving requirements into sound technical solutions, make independent engineering decisions, and drive work from initial concept and requirements through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support.

The Software Engineer will work closely with flight test, hardware, systems, operations, and other engineering teams to develop reliable and maintainable software supporting KHA's aircraft, internal systems, and broader product ecosystem.

- Contribute across frontend, backend, cloud, infrastructure, and other areas of the software stack as required.

- Develop and support software using C/C++ and/or Rust where appropriate.

- Evaluate technical approaches and make sound design decisions when requirements are incomplete, ambiguous, or evolving.

Deployment, Infrastructure & DevOps

- Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines, build systems, automated testing environments, and deployment processes.

- Support production software deployments and software used in operational and flight environments.

- Work with cloud platforms, infrastructure, networking, and DevOps tooling to support reliable software operation.

- Help establish repeatable processes for software deployment, configuration, updates, monitoring, and support.

- Diagnose and resolve issues across applications, networks, cloud infrastructure, build environments, and deployed systems.

Testing, Reliability & Maintainability

- Develop automated tests and other validation methods to improve software quality and reliability.
