swarmaero - Software Engineer, Autonomy
Requirements
• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field. • 3+ years building soft-real-time embedded systems. • Deep expertise in at least one systems language (Golang, Rust, or C/C++). • Proven experience deploying and validating robotics algorithms (Dubins planning, SLAM, Kalman filters, particle filters, A*, behavior trees, reinforcement learning, etc.). • Working knowledge of embedded systems (SPI/I2C/serial protocols, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, microcontroller programming). • Strong networking fundamentals (NAT, mDNS, UDP/TCP, multicast, firewall configuration). • Excellent software engineering practices with emphasis on testable, reliable code. • Experience with perception systems, sensor fusion, or multi-target tracking (Kalman-based trackers, JPDA, MHT, or similar). • Contributions to deployed robotics or IoT systems requiring complex edge processing (aerospace, autonomous vehicles, etc.). • Experience with robotics middleware (DDS/ROS2, ZeroMQ, gRPC) and serialization formats (Protobuf). • Familiarity with government UxS interoperability standards (OMS/UCI, STANAG 4586, FACE). • Hands-on electronics skills (breadboarding, soldering, schematic interpretation, datasheet analysis).
Responsibilities
• Develop swarming autonomy algorithms to safely perform a variety of missions across both small and large UxS. • Build and maintain track correlation and multi-target tracking systems that will immediately get real world use.. • Define the inter-robot and C2 communication protocols required to enable tactical swarm decision making on the edge. • Build the core on-vehicle software platform to allow integration of a variety of first and third-party sensors, payloads, and software modules. • Create and validate physically realistic simulations of UxS. • Train, tune, and test automatic target recognition and track management systems using the latest advancements in neural networks. • Perform electronics prototyping including troubleshooting complex mixed hardware-software systems. • Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code. • Travel up to 25% of the time for onsite test and integration events.
Benefits
• Meaningful equity in a high-growth defense technology company • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience • Medical, dental, vision, and 401k • PTO and paid sick leave • Monthly wellness stipend • Daily catered lunch (office) • Paid parental leave • Direct impact on a critical national security mission • A world-class team of engineers and operators solving genuinely hard problems
