Build and integrate features such as mapping, telemetry visualization, mission control, and video streaming.
Contribute to architecture decisions and performance optimizations.
Create clear and structured developer / user documentation.
Collaborate with QA and design teams to support testing, validation, and UX improvements.
Participate in code reviews and help maintain high engineering standards.
Cross-Platform & OS Integration
Ensure correct behavior on
Windows, macOS and Linux
.
Handle OS-specific permissions (network, screen capture, hardware access).
Integrate system-level features where required (file system, USB, networking).
Performance, Stability & Reliability
Optimize application for
long-running missions
.
Identify and resolve memory leaks, race conditions, and performance bottlenecks.
Ensure stable behavior under high-frequency telemetry and video streams.
Implement graceful recovery from crashes or disconnections.
Video Streaming & Real-Time Data
Integrate
real-time video streams
into the Electron application.
Synchronize video, telemetry, and UI overlays.
Handle stream reconnects, latency spikes, and quality degradation.
Optimize performance for combined video + telemetry rendering.
