Job description

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.
