About the job

Develop and ship production C++ autonomy software that helps uncrewed vehicles sense, navigate, and avoid hazards, including sensor integration and hardware-based validation.

What you'll do

  • Design and release onboard C++ software and autonomy algorithms for perception, positioning, path planning, and hazard avoidance.
  • Integrate sensor inputs, maintain route planners, and optimize performance for limited embedded compute.
  • Validate vehicle behavior using virtual environments, field logs, and deployment data; debug issues and build iteration tools, often in Python.

What they ask for

  • At least 5 years of experience in robotics or autonomous systems.
  • Bachelor's degree.
  • Advanced C++ skills and a solid grasp of algorithms for self-operating vehicles; experience delivering production-quality software on physical hardware.
  • Familiarity with embedded systems, sensor integration, computer vision, sensor fusion, trajectory tracking, and noisy or uncertain data; must be a US citizen or Green Card holder and eligible under US export control rules.

Nice to have

  • Prior work in vehicle autonomy, aerospace, or related sectors; experience at companies known for demanding vehicle software.
  • Exposure to real-time operating systems, lightweight Linux builds, or battery power management.

Pay

USD 210,000 to 300,000 per year (base salary)

Tools

C++, Python, radar, camera, real-time operating systems, Linux

AI focus

Develop autonomy algorithms for uncrewed vehicles, including sensing and interpreting surroundings, localization, route planning, and hazard avoidance; support sensor fusion.
