  • Own the feature development and software solutions that are deployed to customers, and lead complex, cross-cutting technical efforts from concept to deployment.
  • Create and analyze metrics that are leveraged for debugging and monitoring.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to other engineers, and help raise the engineering bar across the team through code review and design leadership.
  • Travel up to 20% of time to build, test, and deploy capabilities in the real world.

Qualifications:

  • Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
  • ~5+ years of professional industry experience working with C++ or Rust programming languages.
  • Experience building software solutions involving significant amounts of data processing and analysis.
  • A track record of leading technical projects and delivering complex software systems to production.
  • A desire to work on critical software that has a real-world impact.
  • A bias for action, extreme ownership, and the drive to see projects through from concept to production.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active UKSV Security Clearance.
  • Strong background with focus in Physics, Mathematics, and/or Motion Planning to inform modeling & simulation (M&S) and physical systems.
  • Developing and testing multi-agent autonomous systems and deploying in real-world environments.
  • Feature and algorithm development with an understanding of behaviour trees.
  • Developing software/hardware for flight systems and safety critical functionality.
  • Experience with distributed communication networks and message standards.
