Job description
Staff Robotics Software Engineer | Autonomy | Defense
Onsite | $200K - $300K base + equity
You'll own the autonomy software stack for uncrewed systems that have to work in the real world, not just in simulation. GPS-denied, comms-degraded, no second chances.
We're a venture-backed defense technology company with systems already in the field. The engineering team is small and senior, and this hire will shape the architecture that the next 50 engineers build on.
What you'll work on
Designing and owning core autonomy software: perception, state estimation, planning and control
Taking systems from prototype to fielded hardware, including testing on real platforms
Setting technical direction and raising the bar for how the team writes, tests and ships robotics software
Working directly with hardware, firmware and ML engineers, and occasionally with end users
What we're looking for
8+ years building robotics or autonomy software, with systems that have run on real hardware
Strong modern C++ (Python a plus), Linux, and ROS/ROS 2 or equivalent middleware
Deep expertise in at least one of: perception, localization/SLAM, motion planning, or controls
A track record of technical leadership: you've owned architecture decisions and made other engineers better
US citizenship (required for security clearance eligibility)
Nice to have
Active or previous security clearance
Experience with aerial, maritime or ground uncrewed systems
Sim-to-real, HIL testing or safety-critical software experience
Why this role
Real ownership: your decisions will ship, not sit in a slide deck
Meaningful equity at an early stage
Hardware you can actually touch and test
