About Frost Unmanned

Frost Unmanned is a cutting-edge technology company specializing in the development of autonomous maritime and aerial systems. We are pushing the boundaries of unmanned technology to deliver innovative solutions for real-world applications. Join our dynamic team in Stenungsund and help shape the future of autonomy!

Job Overview

We are seeking a Mechatronics Engineer to join our on-site engineering team in Stenungsund. In this role, you will design, integrate, and validate sensing and hardware systems for our maritime and aerial autonomous platforms. You will work hands-on with embedded electronics, sensors, and flight control technologies while collaborating closely with software, robotics, and testing teams.

The ideal candidate is an engineer who enjoys building real systems, thrives in a practical environment, and brings both hardware and software capability to the integration of autonomous sensing solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Integrate and configure sensors (e.g., GPS, IMUs, cameras, sonar, LIDAR, environmental sensors) for use in autonomous platforms.

• Work with PX4 or ArduPilot to tune, configure, and deploy flight or control stacks on unmanned systems.

• Design, assemble, and validate electrical and mechatronic subsystems for maritime and aerial vehicles.

• Collaborate with software teams to ensure smooth data flow between hardware components and autonomy software.

• Develop supporting software tools, diagnostics, and integration scripts using Python.

• Participate in real-world field testing to verify sensor performance, hardware reliability, and system-level behavior.

• Troubleshoot electrical, integration, and system issues across embedded and robotics environments.

• Contribute to documentation, system diagrams, wiring plans, and integration notes to support ongoing development.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or another relevant numerate discipline - or equivalent hands-on engineering experience.

• Experience with PX4 or ArduPilot, including setup, configuration, and real-world deployment.

• Strong experience integrating sensors into autonomous or robotic systems, covering both hardware and software aspects.

• Demonstrated hands-on project experience - you have built things, not only simulated or theorized.

• Working knowledge of Python for tooling, integration, and data handling.

• Ability to work effectively in a team environment with strong communication skills (written and verbal).

• Execution-oriented mindset with the ability to take ownership and drive tasks to completion.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with embedded platforms such as microcontrollers, SBCs (Raspberry Pi, Jetson), or custom hardware.

• Knowledge of safety, power systems, and system-level integration for robotics or unmanned vehicles.

• Familiarity with robotics software frameworks such as ROS/ROS2.

• Experience working in field environments or practical testing scenarios.

Why Join Frost Unmanned?

• Contribute to next-generation autonomous systems with real-world impact.

• Work on multidisciplinary engineering challenges across hardware, software, and robotics.

• Join a hands-on, collaborative team passionate about building innovative unmanned technologies.

• Opportunity to grow your skills and shape mission-critical systems.

Important Notes

• This is an on-site role in Stenungsund, Sweden. No remote or hybrid options are available.

• The position includes hands-on field testing and real-world system validation.
