Junior/Mid Embedded Android/AOSP DeveloperApply NowOrqa FPVJunior/Mid Embedded Android/AOSP DeveloperIn this role, you’ll dive deep into the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), tailoring the OS directly to our proprietary hardware. Because we develop and manufacture our products in-house, you’ll have the unique opportunity to bridge the gap between low-level silicon and user-facing applications, working closely with multidisciplinary hardware and RF engineering teams every step of the way.Apply NowGood To KnowLocationOsijek (On-site)About Orqa FPVFounded in 2018 in Croatia, Orqa has grown from a hardware consulting firm into one of Europe’s leading drone technology companies. We design and manufacture advanced FPV and unmanned systems used by enterprise, industrial, and defense clients worldwide. With fully vertically integrated operations — covering design, electronics, optics, firmware, software, and in-house manufacturing — we maintain complete control over quality, performance, and supply chain reliability. This allows us to iterate quickly, optimize every part of the system, and deliver products that meet demanding real-world requirements. Today, Orqa products are used in more than 50 countries, with over 100,000 units delivered in 2024. Our mission is to build the enabling technologies for the future of Remote Reality and set new standards in the aerial robotics industry.View all open positionsAt Orqa, we’re building technology that allows humans and machines to see the world like never before. We bring together engineers, creators, and innovators who push the boundaries of what’s possible – from cutting-edge FPV systems to advanced Remote Reality solutions, and toward the next generation of robotics. And behind every great technology, there’s great organization.We’re looking for a Junior/Mid Embedded Android/AOSP Developer to help configure, build, and optimize the custom operating systems that power Orqa’s next generation of drones, FPV systems, and remote reality platforms.In this role, you’ll dive deep into the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), tailoring the OS directly to our proprietary hardware.
