Senior Engineer – Autonomy Integration

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
5+ years of experience developing and integrating autonomy algorithms in robotics, aerospace, or defense systems.
Proficiency in programming languages such as C++ and Python, and familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS).
Knowledge of sensor integration, sensor fusion, and middleware frameworks (e.g., ROS, DDS).
Experience with simulation tools and environments (e.g., AFSIM, NGTS) for testing and validation.
Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot and optimize system performance.
Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.

Assist in developing autonomy algorithms for path planning, decision-making, perception, and control to meet system performance and mission requirements.
Support the integration of autonomy algorithms with platform hardware and software, including sensors, control systems, and communication interfaces.
Conduct simulation-based testing (HIL/SIL) and participate in live system tests to validate autonomy functionality and identify areas for improvement.
Work closely with software developers, systems engineers, and testing teams to ensure alignment of autonomy capabilities with overall system architecture and mission goals.
Debug and optimize autonomy systems to enhance performance, reliability, and adaptability.
Contribute to technical documentation, test reports, and presentations for stakeholders and team members.
Stay current on emerging trends and technologies in robotics, autonomy, and AI to incorporate best practices into development efforts.

Familiarity with open architecture standards (e.g., OMS/UCI or FACE) and regulatory standards (e.g., DO-178C)
