Requirements
• Professional experience in software engineering, embedded systems, or firmware development - delivering production-grade product • Strong proficiency in Rust - experience in low-level, embedded or no_std environments a bonus • Experience integrating with microcontroller peripherals and hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, USB, etc.) • Familiarity with software design, algorithm implementation, debugging/testing/profiling, and performance optimization • Working knowledge of: • Distributed systems, data-distribution and network architectures • Networking protocols and technologies (TCP/UDP, BLE/LoRa, routing) • Trust systems, certificate management, and encryption schemes • Modern data patterns, CRDTs, offline-first, synchronization/replication • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines • U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret / SCI security clearance • Experience developing autonomy, robotics, or human-machine-AI teaming systems • Experience applying machine learning techniques, including supervised/unsupervised learning, clustering, and classification • Experience with software-defined radio, MANET, and industrial/robotics communications systems • Experience optimizing systems for speed, size, power consumption, and cost • Experience contributing to open-source projects or industry standards bodies • Experience deploying systems in contested or disconnected edge environments • What You’ll Work On • What You’ll Work On • Distributed autonomy platforms that assist operators in decision-making and mission execution • Human-machine-AI collaboration systems operating around the globe • Real-time sensor integration, edge processing, and data distribution • Robust deployment infrastructure enabling secure, trusted/traceable updates in fielded systems • Systems that must operate reliably in degraded, disconnected, or adversarial environments
Responsibilities
• Design and implement high-performance, distributed, software systems in Rust, targeting cloud-native as well as resource-constrained and edge computing environments • Participate in system architecture, network topologies, hardware part evaluation, and engineering reviews for both existing product revisions and new systems • Develop software/models systems that supports human-in-the-loop and human-on-the-loop autonomy workflows for distributed operations • Build infrastructure enabling deterministic builds, reproducible environments, and configuration management to ensure traceability and maintainability • Implement and maintain systems with over-the-air (OTA) update mechanisms for field-deployed systems - virtual machines, containers, and embedded packages • Integrate software with microcontroller peripherals and hardware buses (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, USB, AXI, etc.) • Develop and execute comprehensive experiment and test strategies including: • Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) • Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) • Functional, end-to-end system/field/scale testing • Collaborate with mission heroes and multidisciplinary teams to deploy and sustain systems, supporting integration and various exercises and operational events • Optimize systems for performance, reliability, power consumption, and maintainability
