## About the role

Our autonomy software runs on real programs and real hardware today, and we built it to be platform-agnostic from the start. We're now scaling it onto our own aircraft to field the largest drone swarm in the world. We're looking for Software Engineers, Robotics to build and harden the on-vehicle systems that get us there.

- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field
- 3+ years building soft-realtime embedded systems or robotics software
- Deep expertise in at least one systems language (C/C++, Rust, or Go)
- Hands-on experience implementing robotics algorithms (path planning, state estimation, behavior trees, etc.)
- Working knowledge of embedded systems (SPI/I2C/serial protocols, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, microcontroller programming)
- Strong networking fundamentals (NAT, mDNS, UDP/TCP, multicast, firewall configuration)
