Software Engineer, Advanced Pilot Assistant Software

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and deploy robotic and embedded software components used in advanced pilot assistance systems.
• Contribute to autonomy-related features or subsystems from development through deployment, with a focus on reliability and performance.
• Write, test, and maintain high-quality Python and/or C++ code across autonomy, systems, and embedded components.
• Integrate software with hardware, sensors, and perception or data ingestion pipelines to support autonomous and operator-in-the-loop decision-making.
• Help optimize software for edge compute environments, including managing latency and resource usage.
• Participate in testing, validation, and deployment efforts to ensure systems meet safety-critical and mission-critical requirements.
• Collaborate in design reviews, code reviews, and hands-on development with senior engineers and cross-functional teams.

What Will Make You Successful

• 2+ years of experience designing or building robotic software and/or embedded systems, or equivalent experience through projects, internships, or coursework.
• Experience writing production-quality code in C++ and/or Python.
• Familiarity with real-time or interactive systems that support users making time-sensitive decisions.
• Exposure to autonomy-related systems such as planning, decision-making, or reasoning, and working with sensor or perception pipelines.
• Some experience working with embedded or edge compute platforms and debugging hardware/software interactions.
• Ability to learn quickly and contribute effectively in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.

Bonus Points

• Experience working on safety-critical or mission-critical systems, including aviation or robotics domains.
• Exposure to robot operating systems or middleware such as ROS or DDS.
• Interest in human-in-the-loop systems, simulation environments, or real-time control systems.
• Background or strong interest in autonomy, robotics, or advanced mobility.
