About the job
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain adapters and translation layers connecting NODA's autonomy orchestration platform to Taiwan partner vehicle platforms, sensors, and third-party autonomy stacks.
- Own end-to-end integration testing, from bench bring-up through HITL/SITL validation before live field deployment.
- Debug cross-system issues spanning application software, messaging middleware, networking, embedded Linux, and RF; own investigations through resolution.
- Interface with partner firmware and BSP teams to isolate failures at the hardware/software boundary.
- Act as NODA's primary technical interface in Taiwan with OEMs, government partners, hardware vendors, and field teams in English and Mandarin.
- Characterize system behavior under degraded, intermittent, or contested link conditions.
- Translate partner and field requirements into system constraints for the U.S. engineering team; maintain Interface Control Documents and integration contracts.
- Build observability into integration components through logging, tracing, and metrics.
- Support field exercises validating NODA's platform in live conditions.
- Travel within Taiwan for field exercises and partner or military deployments.

- Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Python, with production-quality coding experience.
- Working knowledge of embedded Linux and operating-system constructs, including process scheduling, IPC, and device architecture.
- Fluency with pub-sub middleware such as Zenoh or comparable technologies, including routing, key-expression patterns, and latency behavior in distributed multi-agent contexts.
- Solid knowledge of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, multicast, and basic routing.
- Working familiarity with RF and wireless concepts, including link quality, interference, and basic link-budget reasoning.
- Ability to debug across application, middleware, network, and hardware-adjacent layers.

- Sensor integration experience with LIDAR, cameras, IMUs, GNSS, or EO/IR systems.
- Experience with HITL/SITL pipelines or sim-to-field validation workflows.
- Prior work in Taiwan defense or government-adjacent programs.
- Familiarity with GCS/C2 tools such as ATAK, QGroundControl, or Mission Planner.
- Experience authoring ICDs, requirements traceability, or integration test plans.
- Exposure to tactical radios, MANET, or mesh networking.
