📋 Description

• Architect a next-generation autonomy stack that combines rigorous robotic foundations with cutting-edge agentic AI for onboard reasoning, adaptation, and swarm coordination. • Define the inter-robot and C2 communication protocols required to enable tactical swarm decision making on the edge. • Make and defend the hard technical tradeoffs: onboard vs. offboard compute, centralized vs. distributed decision making, determinism vs. adaptability. • Mentor and technically guide a growing team of robotics engineers. • Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code, and set the standard for what good looks like. • Travel up to 25% of the time for onsite test and integration events.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or related technical field. • 5+ years building and deploying autonomy software at a major aerospace company or serious autonomous vehicle program. • Track record of owning architecture for a shipped autonomous system, not just contributing components to one. • Deep expertise in at least one systems language (C/C++, Rust, or Go). • Proven experience deploying and validating frontier autonomy systems, including vision-language-action models, learned world models, trajectory optimization, sensor fusion, and multi-agent coordination. • Excellent software engineering practices with emphasis on testable, reliable code.

🏖️ Benefits

• Meaningful equity in a high-growth defense technology company • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience • Medical, dental, vision, and 401k • PTO and paid sick leave • Monthly wellness stipend • Daily catered lunch (office) • Paid parental leave • Direct impact on a critical national security mission • A world-class team of engineers and operators solving genuinely hard problems
