About the role

You will own vehicle software capabilities from the operator interface to the onboard systems that execute a mission. Your work will span ground stations, mission planning and execution, failsafe behaviors, sensing, payload and sensor integration, and autonomy. You will build software that helps operators make good decisions, lets vehicles carry out missions reliably, and handles failures predictably. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience developing software for vehicles, robotics, or other systems that interact with the physical world, including deployment into production or field use
  • Demonstrated ownership of a software capability from design through integration, release, and ongoing support, including making technical decisions independently and resolving failures in real operating conditions
  • Experience developing and debugging software on Linux, including concurrent processes, network communication, and interfaces to hardware or flight-control systems
  • Practical experience in one or more of the following: operator interfaces and ground stations, mission planning, autonomy, sensing, or payload integration, with the willingness to work across these boundaries
  • The ability to reason about distributed system state, timing, and failures, and implement robust state machines, fault detection, failsafes, and recovery paths
  • A practical approach to operator-facing software: you can turn field workflows into clear controls, useful feedback, and predictable system behavior
