Reblade
is a Danish tech startup founded in 2020, developing
automated wind turbine blade repairs
. We design and build drone-based
robotic systems
that utilize computer vision, sensors, and cloud software to deliver accurate and efficient operations and reporting workflows for some of the world’s largest wind energy operators.
Our team consists of highly skilled engineers within robotics, mechanical engineering, control systems, embedded systems, computer vision, and software development. The majority of our employees have relocated from all over the world to Denmark, creating a strong international culture of autonomy, technical excellence, and collaborative innovation.
The Role
We are looking for a
Senior Robotics Software Engineer
to join our software team and take ownership of critical components of our robotics platform. You will work across ROS2, embedded systems, hardware integration, flight-control software, and safety-critical functionality.
This is a hands-on engineering role with significant ownership. You will be involved in the full lifecycle of features — from concept and architecture through development, verification and validation, field testing, and deployment.
You will work closely with the broader engineering team to integrate hardware and software, solve complex control and state-machine problems, and continuously improve the reliability and performance of the system.
Key responsibilities:
Develop and maintain
ROS2 nodes
and packages in
Python
(and
C++/Rust
where needed) across LEO's module software
Own hardware abstraction layers for motor, sensor, and camera integration — consolidating drivers and retiring interim hardware where native integration is cleaner
Harden flight-controller integration (
ArduPilo
t/
MAVLink bridge
) and safety-critical failsafe, comms-loss, and emergency-stop logic
Extend
LEO's ROS2
architecture within approved design constraints, including sensor fusion and new hardware/vendor integration
Diagnose and fix
control-loop
and
state-machine
issues across module packages, including safety-critical field-surfaced bugs
Build out
simulation
and
hardware-in-the-loop
testing infrastructure, and strengthen
CI/test coverage
for safety-critical code
Support field validation, debugging, and performance/timing tuning on constrained embedded compute
Own full feature lifecycle — concept → development → V&V → field deployment — with a review gate after each stage, following the Development Guide
Requirements
Must-have
Strong professional experience developing robotics software using
ROS2
.
Proficiency in
Python
and working knowledge of
C++
and/or
Rust
.
Experience with
embedded systems
and
hardware-software integration
.
Hands-on experience integrating sensors, actuators, cameras, or similar hardware components.
Solid understanding of robotics architectures, control systems, state machines, and real-time or timing-sensitive applications.
Experience with flight-control platforms such as
ArduPilot
,
MAVLink
,
PX4
, or similar.
Experience with automated testing, simulation, CI/CD, or hardware-in-the-loop environments.
Strong troubleshooting skills across software, electronics, and system integration layers.
Nice-to-have
Experience developing hardware abstraction layers, drivers, or middleware.
Experience working on autonomous systems, drones, or field-deployed robotic platforms.
Familiarity with safety-critical or high-reliability systems.
Experience with Rust in production environments.
What we offer
A hands-on engineering role with significant ownership and opportunities to work alongside leading engineers
Remote freelance contract within EU with access to the same benefits and policies as on-site team members, or relocation support to Denmark (available for EU and non-EU citizens)
25 vacation days and covered sick leave
