    Description

    Join to apply for the Controls System Engineer role at Archangel Autonomy

    Are you a detail‑focused, hands‑on Control Systems Engineer with a passion for drones?

    Joining us as Controls System Engineer, you will support the system analysis, modelling, design and delivery of our UXV navigation co‑pilot platform. Our UXV platform operates autonomously in challenging environments, in civil and military use cases.

    At Archangel Autonomy, you will work alongside a fun, forward‑thinking team to deliver transformative AI solutions. Our mission is to design and deploy AI technologies that protect, support and enhance the work of those operating on the front lines: law enforcement, first responders, NGOs, wildlife rangers and military personnel.

    We are proud to be innovators, record breakers and practical problem solvers. We thrive on big challenges and bold ideas, pushing boundaries to create meaningful impact. Our goal is a safer, more sustainable world, where intelligent machines are not just tools but trusted partners – collaborative, reliable and ready to assist.

    What you'll be owning:

    • Designing, implementing and testing the control systems required for UXV navigation and control
    • Setting up models, tools and processes to facilitate rapid design, implementation and validation of new features
    • Continuously improving related systems, processes and tools

    To succeed in this role, you must have:

    • Excellent understanding of control systems (state estimation, guidance, control, etc.)
    • Experience with simulation of complex dynamic systems
    • Strong understanding of sensor fusion and navigation (EKF, etc.)
    • Knowledge of a scripting language (preferably Python)
    • Strong technical and analytical skills, with a logical approach to problem solving and presentation of information
    • Relevant degree in a Maths, Physics or Engineering based subject

    Bonus if you have:

    • Experience in designing, developing and testing embedded software and hardware control systems for UAV, UXV, autonomous driving or aerospace applications
    • Working knowledge of C/C++
    • Experience working with ROS or robotics sensors (IMU, GPS/GNSS, LIDAR, RADAR, Cameras, etc.)
    • Experience with model‑based design and modelling tools such as UML and/or SysML
    • Understanding of state‑space control and advanced controller architectures (robust control, etc.)
    • Eligibility and willingness to undergo future full security clearance (SC)

    By joining us, you'll have

    • The ability to make a measurable difference in the creation of cutting‑edge technology in a rapidly growing start‑up
    • Fast‑paced environment with a world‑class, positive, talented and high‑achieving team
    • Forward‑thinking, supportive culture with company off‑site strategic alignment
    • World‑class growth opportunities and training resources including self‑development days
    • Merit‑based compensation
    • 25 days holiday + UK bank holidays
    • Medical insurance
    • Relocation Support Package
    • Team socials
    • A variety of perks that are evolving: Free Monday team lunch, Cycle2work scheme, access to your favourite app subscription, plus many more in the works

    Security clearance


    Due to the sensitive nature of some of our work, it would be beneficial for candidates to be able and willing to obtain and maintain the necessary security clearance for this role.

    Location:


    At our core, we value the power of in‑person interactions and collaborative sessions. Our office in Oxford, UK is not just a workplace – it's a hub for team camaraderie and innovation. We have a unique and welcoming environment where team members enjoy taking their lunch together with a "no one left behind" mentality but high autonomy. We even bring our international teammates over for special events and all‑company gatherings.

    So, what's next?


    Apply now, and a member of our HR team will get in touch with you shortly. Our usual process includes reviewing your CV, a 30‑minute phone screening, a live technical assessment and interview, plus if your interview falls on a Monday, you might even get to enjoy lunch with the team
