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
  • Temporary benefits package (applicable after 60 days of employment)
