Partner with program managers and compliance stakeholders to meet technical and accreditation requirements.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll develop and build tools for creative projects while leading feature development and collaborating with teammates.

Develop ML/RL models and infrastructure for AV simulations, optimize training loops, and support project timelines in autonomous vehicle tech.

Lead development of guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems from concept to flight-ready software. Design and simulate algorithms, translate requirements into embedded implementations, support HIL and flight test, analyze test data, coordinate across vehicle design, avionics, structures and testing, and document results while mitigating technical risk.

Develop and debug high-performance embedded software for optical networking platforms. Collaborate with hardware, QA, and systems engineering teams; build software across operating systems, drivers, control plane, and data plane components; and troubleshoot multithreaded, distributed systems using Linux-based development tools.

Supports development, implementation, integration, and testing of flight software and guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for uncrewed high-speed aircraft. Responsibilities include control-law tuning and validation, simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing, subsystem software interfaces, test-data analysis, troubleshooting, and cross-functional collaboration across software, GNC, avionics, and vehicle engineering teams.

Support integration, testing, debugging, and troubleshooting of mission hardware and software, including avionics, sensors, radios, processors, communications, and command-and-control systems. Develop software interfaces for telemetry and subsystems, assist with hardware/software bring-up in laboratory, hardware-in-the-loop, ground-test, and aircraft environments, document technical findings, and collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and flight-test teams.

Designs, programs, tests, and commissions PLC-based material handling and industrial control systems. Reviews electrical, safety, power, I/O, and network layouts; develops controls documentation and test plans; troubleshoots PLC, electrical, hardware, and communication issues; performs site commissioning and integrated system testing; manages punch-list items, subcontractor progress, reporting, customer support, and cross-functional coordination. Requires up to 50% travel.

Design, build, test, and operate production-grade, secure, and scalable software and services. Partner with customers to translate requirements into technical designs, drive engineering best practices (CI/CD, testing, observability), deliver end-to-end solutions, lead technical workstreams, and apply AI/LLM approaches where appropriate to produce production-ready outcomes.
