Your mission
Build real autonomous systems that operate in the real world, not in the lab.
Mission
Join our engineering team and help build the core autonomy that powers our next generation robotic systems used for defense and mission-critical operations. You will design, implement, and harden robotic software that must perform under real operational conditions : outdoors, under uncertainty, with real consequences. Your work will directly shape the reliability, safety, and tactical capability of the systems we deliver.
What You Will Do
You will contribute to the development and integration of core robotic capabilities, including:
- Designing and implementing robust, real-time robotics software components
- Working with multi-modal sensor data, ensuring timing, synchronization, and frame correctness
- Developing and improving algorithms in areas such as estimation, perception, planning, control, or integration
- Ensuring deterministic behavior, reliability, and system-level stability
- Debugging and validating robotic systems during field tests, under real-world constraints
- Collaborating with a cross-functional team of robotics, embedded, and domain experts
- Maintaining high engineering standards: code reviews, CI, reproducible builds, documentation
You will execute on real hardware and iterate based on operational performance, field results are the final metric.
Your profile
Must-Have Skills
Technical Fundamentals :
Strong proficiency in modern C++ (17/20)
Solid foundation in algorithms, data structures, and numerical methods
Experience developing software that runs on real robots, embedded systems, or hardware-in-the-loop setups
Comfortable working with raw sensor data (timing, noise characteristics, transforms, calibration)
Strong debugging skills: runtime issues, latency, performance bottlenecks, integration failures
Ability to architect clean, modular, maintainable software systems
Robotics Foundation :
Understanding of at least one robotics domain: state estimation, perception, tracking, planning, control, sensor fusion, or integration
Ability to reason about real-time behavior, latency budgets, and reliability requirements
End-to-end thinking: understanding how individual modules affect the whole system
Mindset & Attitude :
Builder mentality : you ship working solutions, not theoretical concepts
Hands-on ownership : you proactively solve problems, even outside your direct scope
Field-driven mindset : you care about what survives real operations, not “lab perfect”
High quality bar : you aim for reliability, determinism, and clarity in your engineering
Startup drive : you execute fast despite ambiguity, and adapt quickly
Mission alignment : genuine motivation to work on defense-relevant, safety-critical robotics
Nice-to-Have
These are beneficial but not mandatory for initial success:
- Python for tooling or prototyping
- Experience with robotics middleware or real-time systems
- Background in optimization, filtering, or physical modeling
- Experience with embedded platforms, GPUs, or simulation tools
- We hire for core engineering ability, everything else can be learned here.
