Job description

About the company

Our client is a defense technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Write and ship production-grade C++ software that allows uncrewed vehicles to sense their environment and steer themselves. The work covers algorithm design, sensor integration and hardware-based validation, along with input into the longer-term direction of the software architecture.

What you'll do

- Design, build and release production C++ software that runs onboard uncrewed vehicles.

- Create and integrate algorithms that let a vehicle understand its surroundings, know its position, plan a path and avoid hazards.

- Support sensor fusion efforts that merge radar, camera and other inputs into a single coherent picture.

- Maintain route planners at both short and long range that turn map and sensor inputs into vehicle behavior.

- Balance accuracy, robustness, processing cost, latency and dependability when working with limited embedded compute.

- Check vehicle behavior and track down faults by combining virtual environments, field logs and data from real deployments, and write helper tools, frequently in Python, to speed up iteration.

- Help steer the architecture of the next generation of the autonomy software over a multi-year plan.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- At least 5 years of experience in robotics or autonomous systems.

- Bachelor's degree.

- Advanced C++ skills and a solid grasp of the algorithms used to guide self-operating vehicles.

- A record of delivering production-quality code on physical hardware, working where software meets devices.

- Familiarity with embedded systems, sensor integration, computer vision, sensor fusion, trajectory tracking and coping with noisy or uncertain data.

- Strong troubleshooting and debugging instincts.

- Must be a US citizen or Green Card holder and eligible under US export control rules.

Bonus points

- Prior work in vehicle autonomy, aerospace or related sectors.

- Experience at companies known for demanding vehicle software.

- Exposure to real-time operating systems, lightweight Linux builds or battery power management.

Benefits

Compensation and benefits

- Base salary: USD 210,000 to 300,000 per year

- Equity

Location and work model

- Alameda, CA, United States

- Hybrid, 3 days per week in office
