We are seeking an Autonomy Systems Lead Engineer to architect and integrate the full autonomy stack – from perception through planning and control. This is a high-impact role focused on building robust, modular, production-ready autonomous systems that operate reliably on constrained edge hardware in dynamic environments. This is not a research-only role. You will be responsible for taking systems from concept → prototype → field deployment, leading integration across hardware, software, and real-world testing.
Requirements
- Strong experience building end-to-end robotic or autonomous systems
- Experience with ROS2, ArduPilot, PX4, or similar frameworks
- Deep understanding of real-time systems and system tradeoffs
- Experience debugging across hardware/software boundaries
- Strong C++ (or Rust) systems programming skills
Nice To Haves
- Experience with distributed systems or onboard/offboard architectures
- Experience with video streaming (RTP, GStreamer)
- Experience with embedded Linux and edge compute platforms
- Experience in rapid prototyping environments
Responsibilities
- Architect and integrate the full autonomy stack (perception → planning → control)
- Define interfaces between sensors, compute, and flight systems
- Build robust, modular, production-ready autonomy systems
- Optimize system-level performance (latency, bandwidth, compute)
- Lead integration across hardware, software, and networking
