The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Operator Tools team, you will design and build the desktop applications and interfaces that Elroy’s operators and engineers use every day. This includes mission planning tools, real-time telemetry displays, diagnostic interfaces, and ground support workflows. However, this is not a pure front-end role: you will collaborate closely with engineers from a wide variety of disciplines including embedded systems, control systems, flight physics, and power electronics. You will need enough systems intuition to understand the data you’re visualizing and the workflows you’re supporting.

What You'll Work On

Desktop application development for mission planning, real-time telemetry, and vehicle diagnostics (Qt, Electron, or similar native/hybrid desktop frameworks)

Visualization and data presentation for complex, time-series, and spatial data from autonomous systems

Communication interfaces between desktop tools and embedded systems (serial, UDP, custom protocols, MAVLink or similar)

Ground support tooling: calibration workflows, pre-flight checks, log analysis, and fleet management interfaces

Collaboration with the simulation infrastructure team to expose cloud batch results in accessible, actionable UI

Web-based data analysis and visualization tools that connect to cloud databases. Think interactive flight data replay, post-mission analysis dashboards, and fleet-level trend reporting

C++ and Python development across the stack; comfort moving between application logic and lower-level interfaces

Contribution to the team’s overall software architecture and developer experience, particularly for tooling and internal platforms
