Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Design, develop, and integrate real-time AI/ML sensor algorithms and sensor-control software for heterogeneous autonomous platforms. Deploy containerized solutions to embedded Linux devices, perform computer-in-the-loop testing and profiling, support DoD field demonstrations, collaborate with tracking and autonomy teams, and drive simulation-based analysis and integration improvements.

Design electrical schematics and PCBs for vehicle compute hardware including power, memory, SoCs, and automotive interfaces. Oversee PCB layout and vendor engagement, collaborate with firmware/software teams, develop and execute test plans, validate and troubleshoot systems, and document results.

Lead and grow a cross-functional engineering team delivering Axion autonomy toolchain modules. Define technical roadmaps, drive architecture and engineering best practices, manage sprint/release execution, collaborate with product, UX, hardware/integration and operations, and ensure field readiness and quality for simulation, HIL/SIL, and real-time systems in defense and autonomy contexts.

Design and implement lifelong mapping and localization systems for vehicles, build scalable local/global maps, fuse live sensor data with maps, develop real-time onboard and offboard localization, leverage inertial/GNSS/camera/lidar/radar data, and continuously improve performance using large-scale, data-driven methods.

Design and implement high-performance backend C++ systems for defense autonomy products. Build scalable, reliable infrastructure for contested environments, collaborate with researchers and customers, own end-to-end delivery, and shape site engineering culture and standards in Ann Arbor.

Lead development and optimization of neural rendering systems (e.g., 3D Gaussian splatting, NeRFs) for real-time simulation. Design CUDA GPU pipelines and multi-threaded C++ systems, integrate neural and classical rendering, prototype research, productionize techniques, and build tooling for profiling and CI-based performance regression tracking.

Design, integrate, and deploy autonomy software on UAV platforms across SIL/HIL and live tests. Interface with sensors, autopilots, datalinks, and embedded Linux systems; troubleshoot integrations; collaborate with vendors and DoD customers; support flight testing and demonstrations.

Develop high-performance C++ framework software enabling collaborative autonomy across air, ground, and maritime domains. Integrate with domain platforms, optimize real-time performance, automate workflows, and collaborate with autonomy engineers, product teams, and customers to deliver robust, scalable multi-agent systems.

Perform system- and software-level functional safety activities for a Vehicle OS platform per ISO 26262. Develop safety concepts and requirements, conduct FMEA/FTA and dependent-failure analyses, derive ASIL decompositions, review software architecture for ASIL compliance, support verification/traceability, and guide teams on coding standards and safety evidence.

Partner with engineering and program leaders to design and execute hiring strategies for defense-focused software and ML engineering roles. Source, evaluate, and close cleared and non-cleared talent; run structured interviews; build pipelines into defense talent communities; report hiring metrics; and deliver an excellent candidate experience while scaling a high-priority defense team.
