Our trade is drone-based magnetic technologies, using in-house developed and patented survey systems and software solutions.\n\nAt UMag, we intend to be the leading provider of drone magnetic turnkey solutions, and we aim to always push the technological and operational boundaries for what is possible.\n\nOur main focus is drone-based magnetic demining, where our V2Mag system is currently the world’s most sensitive and precise drone demining system.\n\nJob Description\n\nWe are looking for an Embedded Linux Software Developer/Engineer to join our growing embedded team. You will help mature, maintain, and further develop the software platform used across our drone-based magnetometer payloads and supporting ground systems. The role focuses on building reliable, maintainable, and upgradeable software that supports the long-term robustness of our products. Most development is Linux-based, but the role also includes some bare-metal embedded software.\n\nOur drone-agnostic payloads are required to accurately time, position, store, process, and relay measurement data in real time or near-real time using onboard sensors such as GNSS, IMU, magnetometers, and radio communication modules. Your work will focus on ensuring that these systems operate reliably in the field, can be updated safely, are well-instrumented for debugging, and are structured for continued development as the product matures.\n\nIn this position, you will guide and take ownership of some of UMag’s key development activities. This includes developing system services, data logging, communication interfaces, diagnostics, update mechanisms, configuration management, monitoring, and embedded hardware integration. You will work closely with colleagues across electronics, software, mechanical design, geophysics, and field operations to turn R&D prototypes into stable, maintainable, and production-ready systems.\n\nYour responsibilities will include:\n\nDevelop, maintain, and improve embedded Linux software for drone payload and ground-unit systems.\n\nMature existing prototype software into robust, maintainable, and testable product software.\n\nImprove system reliability, startup behaviour, fault handling, logging, diagnostics, and recovery mechanisms.\n\nDevelop and maintain software for sensor integration, data storage, communication, timing, and system monitoring.\n\nSupport reliable software update and configuration workflows for systems deployed in the field.\n\nWork with Linux services, networking, serial interfaces, radio links, storage, and hardware interfaces.\n\nDocument software architecture, system behaviour, interfaces, deployment procedures, and troubleshooting workflows.\n\nSupport integration testing, field testing, customer demonstrations, and production handover.\n\nCollaborate with electronics engineers on hardware/software integration, debugging, and system-level fault analysis.\n\nIn summary, you will help us turn our embedded Linux-based platform into a reliable, upgradeable, well-documented, and production-ready system for drone-based magnetic survey applications.\n\nQualifications\n\nMSc or BSc in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics Engineering, Embedded Systems, or similar practical experience.\n\nAt least, 3 years of relevant professional experience.\n\nStrong practical experience with Linux-based development, preferably on embedded or resource-constrained systems.\n\nExperience with C, C++, Rust, or Python in embedded or system-level applications.\n\nExperience with Linux system services, system, shell scripting, networking, serial communication, and hardware interfaces.\n\nExperience developing reliable software for systems that interact with sensors, radios, storage, or external hardware.\n\nGood understanding of software reliability, logging, diagnostics, error handling, and maintainable architecture.\n\nExperience with Git and structured development workflows.\n\nExperience with requirement-driven design, testing, documentation, and version control.\n\nWritten and oral English at a professional level.\n\nWorking at UMag\n\nBy joining UMag, you will be working together with a highly dedicated team of software and hardware engineers as well as geophysicists with years of experience in the development and testing of drone magnetic solutions for various applications.\n\nWe offer great flexibility in the position with the option to work from home two days a week.\n\nSalary is offered according to qualifications. The position is permanent and full-time.\n\nOur office is located in Birkerød. We are continuously improving our workspace with top-notch facilities, including a workshop, demining test field, and a lab where our hardware engineers and students can produce mock-ups and prototypes.\n\nWe speak English at the office.\n\nApplication and contact\n\nIf you have any questions about the job, please contact Rubén Ferreras Carracedo at .\n\nWe hold ongoing interviews and will fill the position when we have found the right candidate.\n\nRead more about us here:\n\nLinkedIn:\n\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/umag-solutions/posts/\n\nWebsite:\n\nhttps://umagsolutions.com/","description_format":"text","description_chars":5342,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Drones & UAVs"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-11T08:53:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.4,"p_active":0.431,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":56,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["seen:56","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/umag-solutions-embedded-software-engineersoftware-developer-for-drone-magnetic-solutions","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/umag-solutions-embedded-software-engineersoftware-developer-for-drone-magnetic-solutions.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T11:35:07Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17912,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4404958},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4404958"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fumag-solutions-embedded-software-engineersoftware-developer-for-drone-magnetic-solutions"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fumag-solutions-embedded-software-engineersoftware-developer-for-drone-magnetic-solutions"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fumag-solutions-embedded-software-engineersoftware-developer-for-drone-magnetic-solutions"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/umag-solutions-embedded-software-engineersoftware-developer-for-drone-magnetic-solutions\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fumag-solutions-embedded-software-engineersoftware-developer-for-drone-magnetic-solutions"}]}
