## About the role

Forterra is seeking a C2 Software Integration Engineer to own the command-and-control workflow that connects our autonomy stack to the operators who use it in the field. This is a full-stack integration role that spans the layers of that workflow: the autonomy stack, the middleware that moves data between systems, and the operator control unit (OCU) that operators use to command and monitor vehicles.

## What they're looking for

- Own command and control end to end. Take a command from its definition on the vehicle, through the middleware and the network, to its representation at the OCU — and be accountable for the whole path working
- Define and evolve the contracts between systems. Add and extend the message contracts that describe vehicle state, tasks, and commands, and carry them through to every system that produces or consumes them
- Close the loop from test to deploy. Analyze test and field results, identify failures across the stack, and collaborate with the autonomy, middleware, interface, and networking teams to resolve them
- Connect program needs to execution. Translate program and end-user requirements into delivered C2 capabilities, and be the integration point of contact who makes the full workflow succeed for a program
- Leverage agentic AI. Use agentic AI tooling as a first-class part of how you navigate large codebases, prototype, and ship
- Travel. 10–50% depending on candidate preference and role placement. Ability to commute to Clarksburg, MD as needed
