Senior Robotics Software Engineer

The role

You will prototype and deploy state-of-the-art algorithms for path planning, trajectory optimization, and multi-agent coordination. You will design high-performance software for real-time C2 systems deployed on operational platforms.

What you will do

• Contribute to a small, collaborative team within the Command and Control Software organization
• Prototype and help deploy algorithms for path planning, trajectory optimization, and multi-agent coordination
• Develop online path planning capabilities that replan as mission conditions change
• Design and develop high-performance software for real-time C2 systems
• Implement robust planners, search algorithms, and decision-making systems
• Analyze system performance using high-fidelity simulations and modeling tools
• Support customer success by developing algorithms for mission-critical use cases
• Integrate path planning technologies into the broader command and control software stack
• Translate technical progress into actionable insights for stakeholders

Required qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in algorithm design, software development, and mathematical modeling
• Programming expertise in C/C++ and/or Rust
• Strong knowledge of path planning techniques like graph-based search, sampling-based planners, and online replanning
• Demonstrated experience in guidance, navigation, and control (GNC)
• Experience in trajectory optimization and trajectory prediction
• Experience in development of predictive models for vehicle dynamics and weapon system effectiveness
• Solid understanding of applied mathematics including linear algebra, optimization, computational geometry, and graph theory
• Knowledge of vehicle dynamics, kinematic constraints, and control theory for autonomous platforms
• Familiarity with map representations, terrain reasoning, state estimation, and large-scale geospatial data
• Exposure to machine learning as applied to planning and decision-making
• Ability to write robust, concurrent code for planning under uncertainty
• Demonstrated ability to work across development lifecycles

Nice to have

• Experience with Rust for high-performance, safety-critical software
• Exposure to mixed greenfield/brownfield codebases

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees

Before you apply

• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
• Transcripts are requested as part of the early application process
