  • Carve out your own area of expertise and influence product decisions

  • Collaborate with other members in the autonomy ecosystem and learn about different approaches to solving core issues in autonomy

We're looking for someone who has:

  • 4+ years of experience shipping complex software

  • Demonstrated ability to be a self-starter and can quickly become comfortable with new technical tools

  • Designed efficient and effective solutions to a wide range of engineering challenges

  • Proven ability to take initiative in a fast-paced environment

  • US citizenship and eligibility for security clearance.

Nice to have:

  • Working knowledge of frontend, API layer, containerization, or cluster orchestration frameworks (such as React, GraphQL, Docker, or Kubernetes)

  • Experience working with simulation tools, modeling physical problems, or using robotics middlewares (such as ROS)

  • Experience writing Python, C++, Javascript, or Golang
