MISSION & IMPACT:

  • Integrate autonomy stacks onto UAS, multi-vehicle swarms, and robotic platforms, including navigation, perception, and cooperative behaviors.
  • Implement real-time autonomy pipelines that incorporate sensing, fusion, planning, and control across air/ground systems.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

  • Build full autonomy pipelines end-to-end, from sensing through action execution.
  • Deploy CV, tracking, SLAM, and cooperative-agent models on real unmanned systems.
  • Conduct troubleshooting across autonomy software, embedded systems, edge clusters, and C2 interfaces.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:

  • 10+ years in unmanned systems, autonomy engineering, robotics integration, or embedded AI/ML deployment.
  • Strong proficiency in C++, Python, and real-time/embedded software patterns.
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2, PX4/ArduPilot, MAVLink, and simulation tools.

WHY THIS ROLE IS UNIQUE:

  • Builds autonomy that works in real field conditions, not just in demos.
  • Bridges AI models, mission data, and real unmanned systems.
  • Understands both engineering and operational realities of deploying autonomy at scale.
