RSI Europe manufactures remote-controlled systems and FPV drones for active defense operations, built on C/C++, Python, Gazebo, and MATLAB with embedded radio and LiDAR components. The company is scaling aggressively—18 of 26 open roles posted in the last 30 days, heavily weighted toward engineering—while grappling with production quality (faulty PCBs in mass production) and process discipline across non-standard orders and urgent internal requests.
