TL;DR · Robotics Software Engineer

Robotics Software Engineer, Omen joins the Maneuver Dominance team to develop mission autonomy systems for Omen, an autonomous hover-to-cruise air vehicle. The role involves writing code to scale mission capabilities, collaborating across teams to build complex functionality, and creating metrics for debugging and monitoring. You will triage issues, root cause failures, and partner with end-users to translate requirements into features while managing engineering constraints. Candidates must possess a strong background in computer science, software engineering, mathematics, or physics. The position requires at least three years of professional experience with C++ or Rust programming languages. Preferred qualifications include expertise in motion planning, behavior trees, distributed communication networks, and multi-agent autonomous systems. This role focuses on the technical challenges of flight systems, safety-critical functionality, and real-world deployment for a runway-independent aircraft platform.

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 used for debugging and monitoring system performance.
  • Triage issues, root cause failures, and coordinate necessary next steps.
  • Partner with end-users to translate requirements into functional features.
  • 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 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.
