MSE, Vehicle Software, RUST joins the Air Dominance & Strike Vehicle Software team to develop the foundational software stack for autonomous robotics systems, including the Fury unmanned fighter jet and Barracuda family. The role involves collaborating across engineering disciplines to build software for vehicle control, networking, sensor integration, and telemetry. Day-to-day responsibilities include developing software for flight systems, safety-critical functionality, and multi-agent autonomous systems across various stages from concept simulation to live operations. Candidates must possess production-grade Rust and C++ experience in a Linux development environment, along with skills in data processing, motion planning, and behavior trees. The work addresses complex technical problems in distributed communication networks, message standards, and physics-based modeling for real-world military applications and large-scale fleet management.

What you'll do

  • Develop software for vehicle control, networking, sensor integration, and telemetry.
  • Build the foundational vehicle software stack for autonomous robotics systems.
  • Develop software for flight systems and safety-critical functionality.
  • Create features and algorithms using behavior trees for autonomous systems.
  • Build software solutions for large-scale data processing and analysis.
  • Develop and test multi-agent autonomous systems for real-world deployment.
  • Travel to build, test, and deploy capabilities in real-world environments.

What we're looking for

  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of production-grade Rust and/or C++ experience in a Linux development environment.
  • Experience building software solutions involving significant amounts of data processing and analysis.
  • Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases.
  • Ability to travel up to 20% of the time to build, test, and deploy capabilities.
  • Strong background in Physics, Mathematics, and/or Motion Planning to inform modeling and simulation (preferred).
  • Experience developing and testing multi-agent autonomous systems in real-world environments (preferred).
