Integer Technologies is seeking an Autonomy Engineer to support the design, development, and deployment of advanced autonomy software on maritime robotic platforms. This role involves end-to-end contributions across the autonomy stack-including perception , mapping, localization, and control-tailored for real-world performance in constrained and uncertain environments. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in sensor fusion, state estimation, and real-time robotics software development, with hands-on experience in both simulation and field testing. Candidates must be U.S. citizens , eligible for a DoD security clearance , and capable of working across multidisciplinary teams to deliver scalable, maintainable, and mission-ready systems. Experience in maritime autonomy, multi-agent coordination, and distributed systems is highly desirable.

  • Autonomous Systems Integration Deploy autonomy algorithms across the full software stack-including perception , localization, mapping, and control- in simulation and on physical robotic platforms.
  • S ensor Fusion & State Estimation Work with sensor s and sensor data ( e.g., GPS, IMU, LiDAR, sonar, cameras) to help improve navigation and situational awareness using techniques like Kalman Filters or particle filters.
  • Probabilistic Decision-Making & Autonomy Behavior Implement and tune probabilistic reasoning methods to support autonomous behavior selection in partially observable environments .
  • Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) & Simulation-Based Testing S et up and use HIL environments and high-fidelity simulations to evaluate autonomy algorithms and ensure real-world readiness under varied operational scenarios and failure modes.
  • Experimental Validation & Demonstration Execute field tests and simulations to validate autonomy behavior and system performance, using the results to refine system design.
  • Documentation & Technical Communication Develop clear, concise technical documentation, including interface specifications, deployment guides, and post-test analysis report ing .
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain a US DoD Secret clearance.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science , Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field; advanced degrees preferred .
  • 2 + years of professional experience developing, deploying, or integrating autonomy software and hardware systems .
  • Must have experience in the implementation of autonomy algorithms for perception , mapping, localization, and /or control.
  • Integrate sensors (e.g., GPS, IMU, camera, LiDAR, sonar) for robust sensor fusion and situational awareness.
  • Strong proficiency in modern programming languages (e.g., C++, Python) and experience with middleware such as DDS, MQTT, Zenoh, ROS, or other real-time communication frameworks .
  • Familiarity with sensor fusion and state estimation techniques such as particle filters and E xtended Kalman F ilters with practical experience applying these methods to real-world robotic navigation and localization problems.
  • Deep understanding of autonomy frameworks, decision-making algorithms, and real-time system constraints in distributed, multi-agent environments .
  • Comfortable working in both field test environments and simulation environments; experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing is advantageous .
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to interface across multidisciplinary teams and external partners .
  • Experience developing autonomy software for maritime, aerospace, or ground robotics systems operating in GPS-denied or communications-constrained environments .
  • Experience defining requirements for robotics systems.
  • Experience using Robot Operating System (ROS/ROS2) .
  • Knowledge of c ontrol t heory and v ehicle kinematics/d ynamics
  • Knowledge of distributed systems, multi-agent coordination, or swarm autonomy concepts .
  • Hands-on experience with containerized deployment (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) on embedded or ruggedized platforms .
  • Active Secret or higher DoD security clearance .
  • Base salaries which exceed local & national industry averages.
  • Year-end performance-based bonuses.
  • 401(k) with company matching that vest immediately .
  • Integer fully covers medical, prescription, vision, and dental insurance costs for the employee and dependents , m eaning the Integer standard plan pays 100% of health insurance premiums for your entire family from a well-known national insurer, saving its employees thousands of dollars annually.
  • Relocation assistance available.
  • Paid vacation, sick /personal leave, and holidays.
  • Paid bereavement and parental leave.
  • Hybrid schedule : Mondays and Fridays are optional to work from home or in the office.
