TL;DR · Robotic Software Engineer

As a Robotic Software Engineer on the Maneuver Dominance team, you will develop multi-asset autonomy for large groups of autonomous systems. You will own mission autonomy systems and services deployed to customers, write code to scale capabilities, and collaborate across teams to build and test complex functionality. Your daily work involves triaging issues, analyzing metrics for debugging, and translating user needs into features while balancing engineering constraints. The role requires expertise in C++ or Rust, with a focus on data processing, motion planning, behavior trees, and distributed communication networks. You will solve problems involving networking, perception, and systems integration to ensure products work together seamlessly. This position involves developing software for flight systems and safety-critical functionality within the context of multi-agent autonomous systems operating in real-world environments.

What you'll do

  • Own the mission autonomy systems and services deployed to customers.
  • Write code to improve products and scale mission capabilities for more users.
  • Create and analyze metrics for debugging and monitoring system performance.
  • Triage issues, root cause failures, and coordinate necessary next steps.
  • Translate end-user needs into functional features while balancing engineering constraints.
  • Travel up to 25% of the time to build, test, and deploy capabilities in real-world environments.

What we're looking for

  • Strong engineering background in fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
  • 3+ years of professional industry experience working with C++ or Rust programming languages.
  • Experience building software solutions involving significant amounts of data processing and analysis.
  • Ability to navigate complex systems and established code bases.
  • Willingness to travel up to 25% for testing and demonstrations.
  • Eligibility to obtain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Preferred experience in Physics, Mathematics, or Motion Planning for modeling and simulation.
  • Preferred experience with multi-agent autonomous systems, behavior trees, and distributed communication networks.
