As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer on the Battlespace Awareness Command and Control Software team, you will develop high-performance software for real-time command and control systems deployed on operational platforms. You will prototype and deploy state-of-the-art algorithms for global and local path planning, trajectory optimization, and multi-agent coordination to manage fleets of unmanned systems in dynamic, contested environments. Your daily work involves building robust, concurrent code for autonomous tasking and routing services while ensuring reliable execution in resource-constrained settings. You will utilize C/C++ or Rust to implement search algorithms like A* and RRT*, leveraging expertise in guidance, navigation, and control, as well as linear algebra and computational geometry. The role addresses the technical challenge of providing automated route optimization and obstacle avoidance for ground, air, and maritime platforms within a distributed command and control architecture.

What you'll do

Prototype and deploy algorithms for global/local path planning, trajectory optimization, and multi-agent coordination.
Develop real-time path planning capabilities that adapt to changing mission conditions and threats.
Build high-performance C2 software using asynchronous programming and concurrency in resource-constrained environments.
Implement robust search algorithms and decision-making systems for navigation in dynamic, contested environments.
Analyze system performance through high-fidelity simulations and statistical modeling to validate planner behavior.
Develop mission-critical features including collaborative autonomy, asset routing, and obstacle avoidance.
Integrate path planning technologies into the full software stack from requirements to production optimization.
Translate technical progress into actionable insights for stakeholders, operators, and end-users.

What we're looking for

8+ years of experience in algorithm design, software development, and mathematical modeling using C/C++ or Rust.
Strong knowledge of path planning techniques including graph-based search, sampling-based planners, and real-time replanning.
Experience in guidance, navigation, and control (GNC), trajectory optimization, and predictive models for vehicle dynamics.
Solid understanding of applied mathematics including linear algebra, optimization, computational geometry, and graph theory.
Knowledge of vehicle dynamics, kinematic constraints, and control theory for autonomous ground, air, or maritime platforms.
Familiarity with map representations, terrain reasoning, state estimation, and large-scale geospatial data handling.
Exposure to machine learning as applied to planning and decision-making, including reinforcement learning and behavior prediction.
Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Experience with Rust for high-performance, safety-critical software (preferred).
Experience with mixed greenfield/brownfield codebases and extending existing production stacks (preferred).
