This position offers an exciting opportunity to apply your technical expertise in autonomy and system integration while growing your skills in a fast-paced and collaborative environment. You will work on cutting-edge projects that advance the capabilities of autonomous systems and ensure their seamless integration into real-world platforms.

Responsibilities:

• Lead teams across autonomy, integration, and testing by aligning technical efforts, resolving cross-functional challenges, and driving mission-focused execution.
• Assist in developing autonomy algorithms for path planning, decision-making, perception, and control to meet system performance and mission requirements.
• Support the integration of autonomy algorithms with platform hardware and software, including sensors, control systems, and communication interfaces.
• Conduct simulation-based testing (HIL/SIL) and participate in live system tests to validate autonomy functionality and identify areas for improvement.
• Work closely with software developers, systems engineers, and testing teams to ensure alignment of autonomy capabilities with overall system architecture and mission goals.
• Debug and optimize autonomy systems to enhance performance, reliability, and adaptability.
• Contribute to technical documentation, test reports, and presentations for stakeholders and team members.
• Stay current on emerging trends and technologies in robotics, autonomy, and AI to incorporate best practices into development efforts.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
• 10+ years of experience developing and integrating autonomy algorithms in robotics, aerospace, or defense systems.
• 2+ years managing technical teams.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as C++ and Python, and familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS).
• Knowledge of sensor integration, sensor fusion, and middleware frameworks (e.g., ROS, DDS).
• Experience with simulation tools and environments (e.g., AFSIM, NGTS) for testing and validation.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot and optimize system performance.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.
• Ability to obtain a SECRET clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with open architecture standards (e.g., OMS/UCI or FACE) and regulatory standards (e.g., DO-178C).
• Active SECRET Clearance.
