About the Role
Join a defense technology team building autonomous systems that combine robotics, perception, and directed energy. You will develop and validate software on physical hardware, supporting reliable sensing, tracking, control, and autonomy in field environments.
Responsibilities
- Own production C++ features across sensor data processing, tracking, control, or autonomy.
- Profile and resolve threading, process structure, latency, and timing issues in the software.
- Develop tests alongside features and build or maintain CI/CD and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
- Debug issues that occur on physical systems, including failures identified through recorded or replayed sensor data.
- Take part in regular field testing.
Requirements
- At least 4 years of hands-on robotics software engineering experience.
- Production C++ experience on a physical robotic system with software that reached repeated use in the field or by operators, customers, or fleets.
- End-to-end ownership of features involving sensor data, tracking, control, or autonomy.
- Fluency with real-time systems, including threading, latency, and timing analysis.
- Experience with sensor timestamps, time synchronization, coordinate-frame transforms, sensor fusion, Kalman filtering, or target tracking is valuable.
- Familiarity with ROS or ROS2, cameras, IMUs, encoders, gimbal or turret systems, and robotics HIL testing is a plus.
- Defense, aerospace, or safety-critical software experience and an active security clearance are valued.
- US Person status is required due to export controls.
