The posting

Enigma Aerospace is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead the development and test of our autonomy, planning, and flight software system software. This is a key engineering role on a deeply technical team building the most capable runway-independent autonomous aircraft system ever fielded. We're looking for a hands-on technical leader with a passion for aviation and a track record of delivering complex aerospace technologies. In this role, you will contribute to architecture and lead sub-systems implementation of the core software stack that enables mission autonomy, logistics planning, command and control (C2), and operator interfacing. Success in this role requires deep experience in software systems architecture, full stack design and development, systems integration, test, and operational readiness of large autonomous aircraft platforms. This is a critical role for an engineer who wants to build systems that matter, on aircraft that will be fielded in an operational environment.

Responsibilities

  • Development on the full-stack software system architecture and interfaces across frontend, backend, and real-time systems
  • Design and implement mission software and backend and frontend systems for mission planning, operation, autonomy, and operator control
  • Build APIs and integration points with flight controls, avionics, and telemetry systems
  • Simulation, integration and test of software across all systems
  • Identify, build relationships, and manage software products and vendors which can be integrated into the system enabling faster development time
  • Develop internal tooling for simulation, HIL/SIL testing, provisioning, field testing, and operator-facing systems
  • Collaborate across teams to ensure system-wide reliability, testability, and mission readiness
  • Plan, execute, and analyze component, sub-systems, and full-system-flight testing to ensure performance and reliability
  • Support testing, flight ops, and deployment in the field
  • Travel up to 30% of the time including domestic and international

Desired Qualifications

  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Aerospace, or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience in backend, autonomy, or robotics systems development
  • Proficient in Python and C++ with experience integrating with real-time or embedded systems
  • Strong systems thinking and architectural judgment
  • Experience deploying mission-critical software for robotics or aerospace platforms
  • Must be eligible to work in the U.S.

Great to have Qualifications and Skills

  • Experience with PX4, ROS, or other UAS & robotics frameworks
  • Experience with UAS, ground control stations, or telemetry systems
  • Familiarity with autonomy stacks, planning algorithms, or fleet coordination
  • Strong understanding of interface design between hardware and software
  • Experience with simulation, test automation, and operator UX
  • You are a thoughtful communicator and problem-solver with high standards
  • You take ownership, move fast, and are motivated by building systems that work in the real world
  • You are an ambitious and self-motivated individual who eagerly approaches ambiguity and is committed to delivering a high-quality work product
  • You are a highly detail-oriented with a track record of sound judgement
  • You are an avid aviation enthusiast, private pilot, and have flight experience
