Lead UAS Systems & Edge AI Architect

About Promethion Industries Promethion Industries is a European defence technology company building autonomous supremacy systems for aerial and multi-domain operations. Our mission is to enable decisive autonomy for NATO-aligned forces - through tightly integrated autonomy stacks designed and built in Europe. Our focus is defensive and counter-system capabilities, including anti-UAS and resilient autonomy under contested conditions. We are looking for a Lead UAS Systems & Edge AI Architect. Your mission with us Own the end-to-end technical architecture of our autonomous aerial systems. Define how flight control, edge compute, sensors, perception, state estimation, autonomy, RF/C2 and payload systems work together as one aircraft. Define and maintain clear subsystem interfaces, timing budgets, compute budgets and integration. Turn research prototypes into deployable airborne systems with clear interfaces, timing requirements and compute allocation. Architect the onboard compute stack across flight controllers, embedded Linux systems, GPUs and dedicated accelerators. Make pragmatic decisions between ROS2, existing middleware and custom high-performance runtime components. Lead rapid integration of new cameras, sensing modalities, AI models and autonomy algorithms onto flying platforms. Work directly with the aircraft, flight-test team and engineering leads to identify system bottlenecks and resolve them quickly. Drive the system from laboratory prototypes toward robust, repeat
