Job Description
• Research, design, and implement state‑of‑the‑art multi‑target tracking and data association algorithms.
• Develop production‑quality C++ software for deployed military aviation platforms, ensuring deterministic, real‑time performance.
• Build and maintain comprehensive unit, integration, and system‑level tests validating algorithm correctness and robustness.
• Enhance and calibrate sensor models within advanced simulation and HWIL environments.
• Collaborate on feature planning, decomposition, and milestone execution within an agile development framework.
• Contribute to flight‑test planning, performance analysis, benchmarking, and regression evaluation.
• (Principal-level applicants) Provide technical leadership, design reviews, algorithmic mentorship, and subject‑matter expertise across the autonomy organization.
Job Requirements
- Strong to expert proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 or newer) and object‑oriented design principles.
- Professional experience deploying C++ software into embedded or real‑time systems, ideally for DoD or aerospace applications.
- Hands‑on experience designing and implementing state estimation algorithms (e.g., KF, EKF, UKF, ESKF) for real‑world systems.
- Demonstrated ability to develop, optimize, and maintain complex tracking or sensor fusion algorithms.
- Experience with CI pipelines, automated testing frameworks, and high‑reliability software practices.
- Familiarity with MATLAB or Python for prototyping is acceptable; however, primary development experience must be in C++. Candidates with MATLAB‑dominant backgrounds are unlikely to be a fit.
Benefits
- Pay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + Equity
