We are seeking a Mission Software Engineer to join our team responsible for developing the core Command and Control software for Lattice, our advanced vehicle platform. In this role, you will design and implement consensus protocols such as Raft or CRDT to ensure that autonomous vehicles maintain consistent state across lossy networks. You will also build distributed systems capable of managing massive fleets with strong consensus and eventual consistency mechanisms, ensuring seamless operation even under challenging conditions. Key responsibilities include supporting leader election, conflict resolution, and handling partitioned vehicle rejoin scenarios. The ideal candidate should have expertise in distributed systems, consensus algorithms, and experience working with GenAI agents for natural language interfaces. This role requires a Top Secret security clearance and offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology impacting real-world autonomous operations at scale.
