About The Position

Near Earth Autonomy is creating a future where autonomous flight is commonplace and safe. Our technology enables aircraft ranging in scale from sub-meter to full scale to autonomously inspect, map, survey, and transport. We are serious about system design, development, real-world testing, and delivering to customers working, useful systems. The Integration Engineer will integrate and test autonomy software and algorithms onto robotics platforms that range from small quadcopters to full-scale helicopters. This role will focus on integrating and testing software for use in software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, and field testing. Based on experience, engineers will be given ownership to design and maintain both utility and core software modules within the autonomy architecture. We are looking for candidates who are highly motivated independent thinkers, passionate about state-of-the-art technology; also self-starting, empathetic team players, and strong communicators. The ideal candidate for this position can multitask effectively, is comfortable working on a quick development tempo, and most importantly enjoys bringing new autonomy technology to life.
