Software Integration Engineer

Vantor is forging the new frontier of spatial intelligence, helping decision makers and operators navigate what’s happening now and shape the future. Our mission is to give our customers new ways to see the world and change how they’re seen. We’re looking for a Software Integration Engineer in our International Government (IG) Mission Acceleration Group to enable customer success by supporting integration and deployment of our advanced spatial intelligence and AI‑powered product suite into ISR platforms and UAV systems.

• Serve as the technical lead for solution engineering integrations involving satellite imagery and full motion video into systems such as UAS visual positioning, odometry, and navigation systems.
• Interface with external integration partners, defense customers, and OEMs to support system demonstrations, field testing and collaborative development on prototypes.
• Conduct bench and field integration testing, including configuration of Jetson and Raspberry Pi series companion computers, autopilot stacks (PX4, Ardu Pilot) and analysis of telemetry, imagery, and positioning data.
• Qualify integration feasibility, including SWaP requirements, solution design, and ensure successful deployment.
• Develop and document integration procedures, test plans, and troubleshooting guides.
• Provide technical input to product engineering teams to improve product usability, reliability, and performance under field conditions.
• Lead the co‑development of technical content for RFPs, RFIs, and tenders.
• Communicate and collaborate effectively across internal product, engineering, and field teams to define and validate interfaces, and data flows between products and OEM systems such as flight controllers and companion computers.
• Shape the positioning and technical articulation of our capabilities with high‑value customers.

• Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline (e.g., Aerospace, Computer Science, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, Math) or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience supporting ISR, UAS, aerospace, or defense system integrations.
• Demonstrated expertise and proficiency in Python and C++ for software integration, SDK adaptation, and prototype development.
• Experience working with ISR‑relevant imagery and video formats, such as GeoTIFF, MPEG‑TS, KLV metadata, H.264/H.265, STANAG 4609, and MISB.
• Understanding of 3D terrain data formats (e.g., DEM/DTED, Cesium 3D Tiles) and coordinate systems (e.g., WGS
  84, UTM).
• Familiarity with tools and frameworks like OpenCV, PyTorch, GDAL, Cesium, or Unity.
• Practical knowledge of embedded Linux platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, NXP) and their deployment environments.
• Proven ability to collaborate across engineering, product, and field teams to deliver successful customer outcomes.
• Willingness and ability to travel domestically or internationally (average ~25%, with peaks up to 50%).

• Master’s degree in engineering, Computer Vision, Software Engineering or a related technical field.
• Exposure to Linux‑based embedded systems and configurations (e.g., systemd, Yocto, Docker).
• Familiarity with GNSS/INS navigation systems, video odometry, or visual‑inertial fusion stacks.
• Familiarity with UAV systems, including configuration, tuning, and troubleshooting of interfaces to autopilots.
• Familiarity with OGC geospatial standards (WMS, WMTS, WFS) or real‑time geospatial streaming protocols.
• Familiarity with lightweight messaging and data transport frameworks, such as ZeroMQ or Protobuf.
• Hands‑on experience building or modifying companion computer architectures (e.g., Jetson, Raspberry Pi, STM
  32MP
  1).
• Background in AI/ML applications related to computer vision, sensor fusion, or ISR analytics.
• Experience conducting technical feasibility assessments for mission‑critical platforms including UAVs and other edge deployments.
• Active UK or other European government security clearance.
