TL;DR · Robotics Software Engineer

Robotics Software Engineer The Robotics Software Engineer joins the Maneuver Dominance team to develop multi-asset autonomy for autonomous systems. This role involves leading the delivery of vehicle perception and planning capabilities, including system analysis, sensor selection, motion planning, and behavior analysis. You will own a multi-year software roadmap, design and implement trusted safe navigation and collision avoidance systems, and manage the full product lifecycle for autonomous platforms. The work requires expertise in C++ or Python, along with experience in computer vision, sensor fusion, SLAM, machine learning, and motion planning. Candidates must be familiar with hardware such as radar, sonar, LIDAR, and cameras. You will also utilize simulation tools like Gazebo, Unity, or Unreal Engine to validate algorithms. The role focuses on solving complex autonomy challenges for autonomous vehicles in ground, air, maritime, or space domains.

What you'll do

  • Design and deliver multi-year software roadmaps for vehicle perception and planning across multiple teams.
  • Architect and implement trusted safe navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness systems.
  • Develop sensor suites, perception algorithms, and motion planning algorithms to ensure safe autonomous operation.
  • Perform high-impact individual contribution work across the entire perception and planning stack.
  • Apply advanced computer vision, sensor fusion, and machine learning techniques to enhance vehicle capabilities.
  • Conduct thorough testing and validation of algorithms using simulation and real-world data analysis tools.
  • Act as a technical owner for systems including requirements definition, stakeholder engagement, and roadmap management.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in C++ and/or Python software development.
  • Familiarity with autonomous vehicle hardware and sensors such as radar, sonar, LIDAR, and cameras.
  • Demonstrated knowledge in at least one area: computer vision, sensor fusion, SLAM, motion planning, or machine learning.
  • Experience in a senior perception or planning role for the delivery of a robotic system.
  • Ability to act as a technical owner for systems, including stakeholder engagement, roadmap management, and team coordination.
  • Ability to collaborate with stakeholders to define and implement validation and verification strategies.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
