Description
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join a customer-facing product engineering team focused on developing advanced Command and Control (C2) and Agentic Autonomy Software for Autonomous Systems.
The role involves building, integrating, and deploying state-of-the-art software solutions that combine sensors, actuators, unmanned vehicles, and intelligent decision-making systems.
As a part of this team, you will contribute directly to the development of cloud and edge software to command and control autonomous systems, including interfacing with onboard sensors and real-time kinetic and non-kinetic systems.
Core Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and optimize software for mission-critical autonomous systems using modern technologies and methodologies
- Develop algorithms to process data from heterogeneous sensors for real-time state estimation and threat detection
- Build LLM and AI-driven systems capable of assessing threats and rapidly making decisions to deploy responses to those threats
- Develop integrations with a range of sensors, effectors, and autonomous platforms
- Engineer scalable, reliable, and fail-safe systems capable of functioning in high-stakes environments
- Partner with multidisciplinary teams to deliver integrated solutions
What We Value
- Proven experience in software development for autonomous systems, embedded systems, or robotics
- Knowledge of AI/ML, sensor processing, or swarm behaviors is highly desirable
- Knowledge of LLM toolchains and implementation of agents into complex real-time data workflows
- Ability to manage complexity, optimize for performance, and think critically under pressure
- Experience deploying and maintaining robust production systems
What We Require
- 5+ years of professional software development experience
- 2+ years of experience contributing to the system design or architecture of new and existing systems
- 2+ years of experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
