Staff Software Engineer Autonomy Capabilities Space

You will lead the development and delivery of autonomy capabilities for space applications. You will build optimization, scheduling, tasking, tracking, and motion-planning software; integrate it with real vehicles; support deployment and mission-log analysis; prototype new algorithms; and collaborate across engineering disciplines.

Responsibilities

• Develop distributed optimization, task allocation, and resource-scheduling capabilities
• Develop weapons target-assignment and motion-planning capabilities
• Advance optimal control, tactical behavior management, and information-aware planning
• Develop high-performance, well-tested software modules
• Collaborate with perception, planning, simulation, hardware, and flight-test functions
• Deploy autonomy capabilities to space vehicles and analyze mission logs
• Research and prototype algorithms for autonomy roadmaps
• Travel to offices, customer sites, and flight integration events

Requirements

• Bachelor's or master's degree in a relevant engineering field or equivalent practical experience
• At least 7 years of related experience with a bachelor's degree, 6 years with a master's degree, or 4 years with a PhD
• C++ and Python proficiency
• Familiarity with real-time operating systems
• Background in control systems, motion planning, optimization, tactical behaviors, or distributed decision-making
• Experience with unmanned system technologies and algorithms
