Senior C++ Software Engineer Collaborative Autonomy

Bachelors or Masters in Robotic Engineering, Computer Science, or related engineering field
5+ years of hands-on experience with Multi-Agent Algorithms including sensor localization and mapping (SLAM), task allocation/optimization and behavior logic frameworks (state machines, behavior trees, hierarchical task networks)
Experience with modern C++ development (2020, 2017), CMake, Python and Bash
Experience with containerization (Docker)
Comfortable in both Linux and Windows
Comfortable with remote software development, ability to handle and process large datasets, and learn new software and algorithms as needed with little supervision

Contribute novel engineering ideas, algorithms, and concepts for cutting edge, modular, and agile autonomy capabilities in the fields of optimization, persistent search, and coordinated behaviors, applicable to a diverse set of Defense problems
Write software that operates real autonomous aircraft systems (small UxS) as they accomplish tactical problems; the autonomy stack consists of a component-based architecture, and development will include robust modeling and simulation, software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop and flight test
Troubleshoot and debug data sets generated during live, virtual, or constructive swarm autonomy testing on small UxS including complex behavioral autonomy system performance and robust, explainable operations
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, domain experts, prior DoD warfighters, and program managers to build software solutions for military missions
Effectively communicate solutions to a diverse team of engineers, program managers, executives, and sponsors

Masters or PhD in Robotic Engineering, Computer Science, or related engineering field
Proficiency in modern C++ (2020, 2023), CMake, Conan
Familiarity with Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), including integration and test experience on common COTS hardware devices (e.g., Nvidia Jetson, Xilinx RF/MPSOC, Raspberry Pi5
