Description

  • Build real-time trajectory generation and decision-making systems for autonomous flight.
  • Tackle joint optimization across safety, energy, time, and reliability.
  • Plan for uncertain environments with wind, turbulence, degraded sensors, and partial observability.
  • Design safety-critical software for obstacle avoidance and human interaction during package delivery and pickup.
  • Extend the autonomy stack for new aircraft and payloads and define interfaces with perception and controls.
  • Validate systems through large-scale simulation, SIL/HIL testing, log replay, and fault injection.
  • Analyze fleet data to validate safety metrics, improve models, and reduce long-tail failure modes.
  • Collaborate closely with perception, controls, and flight operations on system design and reliability.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience building software for safety-critical systems in aerospace, autonomous vehicles, or robotics.
  • Strong programming ability in Rust, C++, or C for real-time, fault-tolerant code on embedded Linux.
  • Depth in planning and search methods such as A*, anytime search, RRT*, or sampling.
  • Experience with trajectory optimization or MPC shipped on real robots or vehicles.
  • Hands-on experience with large-scale simulation, SIL/HIL, log replay, and metrics-driven validation.
  • Evidence of shipping production-grade autonomy in ambiguous, noisy conditions with ownership of reliability.
  • Strong systems thinking and ability to work with perception, controls, and flight operations.
  • Crisp documentation and design review skills.
  • Preferred background in autonomous systems for real-world deployment.
