Staff Software Engineer, Autonomous Systems

Join an autonomy engineering team building software for autonomous maritime vehicles. You will develop and deploy vehicle autonomy capabilities that operate on physical hardware helping expand what these systems can safely do.

• Design implement and deploy production autonomy software in C for onboard vehicle systems.
• Develop and integrate perception localization state estimation planning navigation decision-making and collision or terrain avoidance algorithms.
• Integrate radar camera and other sensor data for situational awareness and path planning.
• Build and maintain local and global planners that use maps and sensor data to guide routes and vehicle behavior.
• Balance accuracy robustness computational cost latency and reliability on constrained onboard compute including Nvidia Jetson platforms.
• Validate vehicle behavior using simulation testing telemetry and real-world data and build tools often in Python to investigate failures and improve development workflows.
• Contribute to the architecture and ongoing development of the autonomy stack.

• At least 5 years of autonomy engineering or robotics software experience with experience operating at staff-level scope.
• A bachelors degree and a background in robotics autonomous systems aerospace or defense technology.
• Strong C skills and experience shipping autonomy software on physical vehicles or other hardware systems.
• Knowledge of autonomy algorithms including computer vision sensor fusion localization tracking motion planning path finding controls and decision-making under uncertainty.
• Experience with embedded systems sensor integration and testing and deploying software on hardware. Familiarity with ROS Linux simulation GPU computing or real-time operating systems is valuable.
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills along with Python experience for development tools.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder and eligible to work on ITAR-controlled programs.

Base salary range: $210000 to $300000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
