Senior Staff Engineer, Autonomy Integration Lead (R6159)

What you'll do

• Build and maintain integrated autonomy implementations, reusable test fixtures, reference configurations, and end-to-end examples.
• Develop automated software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop tests, investigate integration failures, and support hardware deployment and flight test events.
• Maintain integration workflows, deployment tooling, and user documentation, and coordinate with autonomy component teams.

What they ask for

• Demonstrated experience building, testing, and debugging nontrivial C++ software in a relevant algorithmic domain.
• Experience with modern C++, including concurrency patterns and diagnosing data races, deadlocks, and lifetime errors.
• Working experience with Python and practical experience developing and debugging software on Linux.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including algorithms, data structures, testing, debugging, and maintainable design.

Nice to have

• Experience with build or dependency management systems such as Conan or Nix.
• Breadth across the autonomy stack, multi-agent autonomy, VLMs or VLAs, fielded real-time systems, or software-/hardware-in-the-loop simulation.
