## Description

Gramian Consultancy is a boutique consultancy specializing in IT professional services and engineering talent solutions. With a strong background in software engineering and leadership, we help companies build high-performing teams by matching them with professionals who truly fit their needs.

**About the Role**

Our client is a Swiss technology company developing advanced autonomous and drone systems for demanding industrial environments. Their software ecosystem includes onboard systems, ground-control applications, real-time telemetry, video streaming, visualization, and operator interfaces.

We are looking for a hands-on **Rust Software Engineer** with strong experience building **desktop/UI applications, real-time software, and interactive visualization systems**.

The ideal candidate has substantial professional experience with **Rust** and has worked on software involving **ground-control stations, drones, mapping, 3D visualization, telemetry, simulation, or other complex technical user interfaces**.

Deep robotics experience is helpful but **not essential**. Strong software engineering, UI, visualization, and real-time application experience are more important.

**CONTRACT:** Long term contract or EOR model

**LOCATIONS:** REMOTE

### Key Responsibilities

-   Develop and improve **ground-control and operator-facing applications** for autonomous and drone systems.
-   Build high-performance software primarily using **Rust**.
-   Develop responsive **desktop GUIs and technical user interfaces** for monitoring and controlling complex systems.
-   Implement telemetry, real-time data visualization, system status monitoring, and operator workflows.
-   Work with **2D/3D visualization**, maps, sensor data, or other interactive graphical components.
-   Integrate software with drones, robotic platforms, embedded systems, and external services.
-   Develop real-time communication and data-streaming functionality.
-   Contribute to video-processing and streaming workflows.
-   Optimize application performance, memory usage, multithreading, latency, and responsiveness.
-   Contribute to software architecture and technical design decisions.
-   Maintain high engineering standards through testing, CI/CD, code reviews, and structured debugging.

## Requirements

-   At least **5 years of professional software engineering experience**.
-   Strong, recent professional experience developing production software in **Rust**.
-   Experience building **desktop applications, GUIs, visualization tools, or operator-facing software**.
-   Experience with UI frameworks such as **egui, Qt, GTK, Tauri**, or comparable technologies.
-   Experience with **real-time data, telemetry, networking, streaming, or event-driven systems**.
-   Strong understanding of **multithreading, memory management, performance optimization, and asynchronous programming**.
-   Experience working in Linux environments.
-   Strong software architecture and debugging skills.

Experience in one or more of the following would be particularly valuable:

-   **Drone ground-control software or Ground Control Stations (GCS)**
-   UAV or autonomous-system operator interfaces
-   **3D visualization, mapping, GIS, or simulation software**
-   Robotics visualization or monitoring tools
-   Telemetry dashboards and real-time control applications
-   Video streaming or processing using **GStreamer**
-   ROS2 or robotics middleware
-   Embedded or edge systems
-   C++ for performance-critical applications
-   MAVLink, PX4, ArduPilot, or similar drone technologies
