The posting

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join a defense technology team building autonomous systems that combine robotics, perception, and directed energy. You will develop and validate software on physical hardware, supporting reliable sensing, tracking, control, and autonomy in field environments.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own production C++ features across sensor data processing, tracking, control, or autonomy.

- Profile and resolve threading, process structure, latency, and timing issues in the software you own.

- Develop tests alongside features and build or maintain CI/CD and hardware-in-the-loop testing.

- Debug issues that occur on physical systems, including failures identified through recorded or replayed sensor data.

- Take part in regular field testing.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- At least 4 years of hands-on robotics software engineering experience.

- Production C++ experience on a physical robotic system, with software that reached repeated use in the field or by operators, customers, or fleets.

- End-to-end ownership of features involving sensor data, tracking, control, or autonomy.

- Fluency with real-time systems, including threading, latency, and timing analysis.

- Experience with sensor timestamps, time synchronization, coordinate-frame transforms, sensor fusion, Kalman filtering, or target tracking is valuable.

- Familiarity with ROS or ROS2, cameras, IMUs, encoders, gimbal or turret systems, and robotics HIL testing is a plus.

- Defense, aerospace, or safety-critical software experience and an active security clearance are valued. US Person status is required due to export controls.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Base salary is $185,000 to $235,000 annually, plus equity. Visa sponsorship is not available.

LOCATION

On-site five days per week in San Francisco, California, United States. The role includes field test days.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
