Full job description
The Autonomy Capabilities Team develops functionality to automate single- and multi-agent teams of platforms in pursuit of mission objectives and acts as a central discipline-aligned focal-point for encouraging consistent usage of technical approaches across business portfolios. This team operates at all levels of the command-and-control hierarchy (from advanced control laws, through motion planning, and up to advanced tactical behaviors and multi-agent coordination) and across a multitude of mission sets, platform types, and operational domains (e.g., air, sea, space). The team puts a strong emphasis on both fundamentals (e.g., aircraft kinematics/dynamics, trajectory design, optimization, information fusion, efficient algorithms, etc.) and software integration skillsets (e.g. structures, protocols, threading, interface management, etc.) to bring market-differentiating capabilities to customers that seamlessly operate within their integration contexts.
This position is perfect for an individual who enjoys solving complex problems across a diverse set of programs and integration contexts. An ideal candidate is expected to address operational system needs through a multitude of advanced methodologies that blend traditional control system approaches with advanced optimization. Developed solutions are expected to be integrated into real-world platforms with near-term program impacts and rewards and so balancing theory with practice and rigorous implementation is paramount.
What You'll Do:
- Implement tactical autonomy software features that enable unmanned platforms to perform complex missions across air, land, sea, and space domains
- Develop and test behaviors supporting coordination, target engagement, reconnaissance, and survivability in contested scenarios
- Participate in the software development lifecycle, including implementation, testing, debugging, and supporting verification and validation efforts
- Collaborate with senior engineers to integrate software components with broader system elements (e.g., sensor processing, communications, and actuation)
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code following established engineering standards and team practices
- Support integration and testing across simulation and real-world environments
- Work with cross-functional teams to understand requirements and support successful feature delivery
- Continue building expertise in software engineering, autonomy, and robotics systems
- Travel up to 20% to support testing, integration, and collaboration with partner teams
