About the Role
Join a defense technology team building autonomous robotic systems for countering unmanned aircraft. You will develop and ship production C++ software that connects sensor data, tracking, control, and autonomy on physical hardware.
What You'll Do
-
Own production C++ features across sensor data processing, tracking, control, and autonomy.
-
Profile and resolve threading, process structure, latency, and timing issues in the software you own.
-
Build and maintain tests, CI/CD, and hardware-in-the-loop testing alongside feature development.
-
Debug failures that occur on real hardware, including in field conditions.
-
Take part in regular field tests.
What We're Looking For
-
At least 4 years of hands-on robotics software engineering experience.
-
Demonstrated production C++ experience on a physical robotic system, with software that reached repeated use in the field or operational environments.
-
Experience owning software features across sensor data, tracking, control, or autonomy.
-
Fluency with real-time systems, including threading, latency, and timing analysis.
-
Experience with CI/CD or hardware-in-the-loop testing for hardware-facing software.
-
Experience with sensor synchronization, timestamps, coordinate frames, sensor fusion, Kalman filtering, or target tracking is useful.
-
ROS or ROS2, cameras, IMUs, encoders, gimbal or turret systems, and defense, aerospace, or safety-critical software experience are helpful.
-
Must be a U.S. Person due to export control requirements.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary is $185,000 to $235,000 annually, plus equity. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
On-site in San Francisco, California, five days per week, with field test days included.
