Embedded (Firmware) Engineer

Precision AI is on a mission to transform agriculture with cutting-edge drone technology. Our aerial spraying systems help farmers target weeds with surgical precision, reducing chemical use and increasing yields. We’re a fast-moving, impact-driven team looking for people who want to help build the future of farming.

Role Overview

The ideal Embedded Engineer at Precision AI is someone who sees the future of unmanned systems and wants to help build it. You’ll work in a multidisciplinary environment alongside electrical, mechanical, GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control), and software engineers, developing the real-time embedded systems that power our autonomous drones from concept through flight testing.

If you’re someone who enjoys working close to the hardware; designing boards, writing firmware, and debugging real-time behavior, this role will feel like home. You come from a background that blends electrical engineering and computer science, with experience developing bare-metal and RTOS-based systems, writing efficient C and C++ code, and building reliable sensor and control interfaces.

You’ll spend your days designing, implementing, and testing embedded software that makes our UAVs smarter and more capable. Some days you’ll be in the lab, bringing up new boards or optimizing control loops; other days you’ll be in the field, watching your code guide drones through real-world missions.

At Precision AI, we move fast and build things that matter. If you’re a hands-on engineer who takes pride in quality, thrives in collaborative teams, and wants to see your work make a measurable impact on sustainable agriculture, we’d love to meet you.

This role is hybrid in Calgary due to the hands-on nature of hardware bring-up, lab testing, and UAV flight verification and validation.
