Senior Software Engineer - Autonomous Systems (C2/Backend/Service)

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join a customer-facing product engineering team focused on developing advanced Command and Control (C2) and Agentic Autonomy Software for Autonomous Systems for use in operational and tactical missions. This role involves building, integrating, and deploying state-of-the-art software solutions that combine sensors, actuators, unmanned vehicles, and intelligent decision-making systems including self-hosted and commercial LLMs to enable users to employ and manage robotic and autonomous systems across a variety of mission sets. You will work alongside other experts in sensing, artificial intelligence, physics and simulations, user experience, and edge system engineering to build and deliver solutions that redefine complex military and civilian mission scenarios in the real world. As a part of this team, you will contribute directly to the development of cloud and edge software to command and control autonomous systems, including interfacing with onboard sensors (radar, cameras, RF, and other modalities) and real-time kinetic and non-kinetic systems for individual and swarms of systems. You will work alongside other experts in sensing, artificial intelligence, and systems engineering to shape solutions that redefine complex area defense scenarios.

Core Responsibilities

- Design, implement, and optimize software for mission-critical autonomous systems using modern technologies and methodologies.

- Develop algorithms to process data from heterogeneous sensors for real-time state estimation and threat detection.

- Build LLM and AI-driven systems capable of assessing threats and rapidly making decisions to deploy responses to those threats.

- Develop integrations with a range of sensors, effectors, and autonomous platforms.

- Engineer scalable, reliable, and fail-safe systems capable of functioning in high-stakes environments.

- Partner with multidisciplinary teams, including robotics experts, hardware engineers, and system integrators, to deliver integrated solutions.
