Senior Software Engineer, Production Suite

At Six Robotics, we build intelligent software that gives Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) the ability to collaborate, adapt on the

fly, and execute missions that were previously impossible. From our base in Oslo, our 70+ experts in defence, software, and AI

develop our flagship autonomy and swarm platform used by both government and industry. In close partnership with the Norwegian

Defence Research Establishment (FFI), we move fast from concept to live deployment, often in the field alongside end users.

We work with advanced hardware and software, a modern tech stack, and missions that demand both technical mastery and operational

discipline. Everyone is close to the action, from deep technical problem-solving to field operations. We move fast and value

clarity, integrity, and teamwork in everything we do.

At Six Robotics, every person executes with precision, adapts to changing conditions, and strengthens the team. Getting in is

hard, and you’ll be challenged every day. But if you have the skill, the discipline, and the drive to push your limits and always

be sharpening your blade, you’ll find no better place to deliver real-world impact while collaborating and learning from the best

in the field.

We are setting up a new team to build our Production Suite: the software product that gets our autonomy platform onto new drone

hardware. This is not about assembling the physical drone. It is about everything that has to happen in software once the hardware

is built, so a finished drone leaves production running on our stack.

As we move toward supporting production volumes in the thousands, installing our software on a new platform needs to become a high

quality workflow someone runs at the production site, not something that pulls on engineering capacity per unit. Production Suite

is how we get there.

It ships alongside each new release of our autonomy stack and wraps installation, configuration, acceptance testing, and sign-off

into a guided flow.

The work is less about deep architecture and more about getting a lot of moving parts to work together cleanly: software

packaging, deployment to edge devices, test automation, Linux plumbing, and an operator experience reliable enough that a

non-engineer at a production site can run it on their own.

We are looking for several engineers to join this team early. As one of the first in, you will help shape what we build and how we

build it. You will have a broad responsibility from low-level flashing and test orchestration up to the interface the production

operator actually interacts with.

• Build the Production Suite: a software package that ships to a production site and takes a drone from factory-fresh hardware to

a unit running our autonomy stack and passing acceptance

• Design and implement the tooling that flashes our software onto new drone platforms, configures it, runs factory acceptance

tests, and reports results back to Operations

• Work across the stack as needed: Linux command line, Python scripting, Docker and Kubernetes, SSH and remote execution, web

APIs, data formats, basic hooks and integrations

• Reuse and adapt parts of our existing end-to-end test suite so factory acceptance tests share a foundation with how we test in

engineering

• Make the whole thing usable for production operators: clear enough that the workflow is mostly pressing next, red or green,

with no hidden steps

• Work closely with Operations, Test Automation, Hardware Enablement, and the teams building the autonomy stack itself to keep

integration reliable end to end

Production Suite is one of the pieces of work where getting it wrong directly caps how much of our core product reaches the field.

If we cannot scale production, we cannot scale the company. This team sits on the critical path for delivering volume, and the

people we hire into this role will have an outsized effect on whether we hit it.

We are open to varieties of seniority in this team. Generally, we are looking for a broad, practical senior engineer. Someone who

has built this kind of system before, or something close to it, and knows what good looks like when hardware, software, and a

factory floor have to work together.

You are not scared of the mix. You move between Python, a Dockerfile, a Kubernetes manifest, an SSH session, and a JSON-to-YAML

conversion without losing the thread.

• Several years of experience as a software engineer, ideally at companies that ship physical products (hardware, robotics,

consumer electronics, networking, industrial devices)

• Ability to move around a modern tooling landscape (containers, orchestration, CI/CD, remote execution, scripting) without

needing deep expertise in any one of them. If you have not used Docker or Kubernetes heavily but can pick them up where needed,

that works for us

• A strong drive to solve problems and find a way through, even when the path is not obvious and the spec is not clean. This

matters more to us than any specific tool on your CV

• Experience with Python in an infrastructure or tooling context (this will be a large part of the day-to-day, but we do not

require it up front)

• We care more about range and judgement than about a specific stack. If you come from Go, Rust, or something else entirely but

have built this kind of system well, we want to talk to you.

At Six Robotics, we're not just building software - we're redefining how unmanned systems operate in the real world. If you're

driven by meaningful problems, technical depth, and the chance to shape something from the ground up, you'll find your place here.

• Work on problems that matter

Our technology helps unlock smarter, safer, and more adaptable UAV operations in defense and industry, solving real challenges

with direct, tangible impact.

• Lead the shift in a hardware-dominated space

We're bringing modern AI, autonomy, and scalable software into a field that's long relied on rigid, pre-programmed systems, to

change how UAVs are designed, deployed, and managed.

• Build from zero, shape the future

Join early and help define the core systems, tools, and culture of a company that’s still being built - where your ideas, code,

and decisions will have a lasting influence.

• Work with purpose, supported by great benefits

You'll be part of a mission-driven team that values clarity, integrity, and collaboration, offering competitive pay, equity

potential, strong insurance and pension plans, and ongoing learning opportunities.

• Take-home case assignment, to be solved in your own time, followed by a live coding session and an in-depth interview on the

case and the specifics of the role (90 min)

Reference check followed by an offer if everything goes well.

We consider applications continuously, so don't hold off with applying if this looks interesting.

Our Commitment to Inclusion

At Six Robotics, we are committed to creating a workplace built on respect, integrity, and collaboration. We value different

perspectives and experiences, and we believe that diversity within our team strengthens both our work and our culture. We

encourage all qualified candidates to apply and help us build technology that makes a real impact.

All employees at Six Robotics are required to undergo a security clearance due to our close collaboration with the Norwegian Armed

Forces. While prior clearance is not necessary, the clearance process will be initiated as part of onboarding.
