About this role

The Role

You'll write autonomy software that runs on aircraft and vessels. Embedded and real-time code that is close to the hardware, control and estimation logic that makes an aircraft or a boat do the right thing, and the tools around it.

Because we're a small team, you'll touch a wide surface. One week is firmware and sensor integration; the next is a control loop, a ground-station feature, or a build tool that makes everyone faster.

What You'll Own

  • Write and test embedded / real-time software for flight and vessel platforms
  • Build and tune control, guidance, and state-estimation logic, validated in sim and on hardware
  • Integrate sensors, actuators, and comms — reason about timing, and diagnose issues at the hardware boundary
  • Improve the tooling and infrastructure the team builds on — ground software, test rigs, data pipelines, internal tools
