  • Implement custom navigation algorithms and autonomy logic in Rust and C++.

  • Analyze vehicle flight logs and debug GNC and autonomy issues

  • Develop and write LIDAR sensor drivers in C++ and Rust.

  • Handle system configuration, ground station setup, and data management during local and remote flight tests.

  • Develop control and path planning algorithms for aerial vehicles and integrate them into the PX4 ROS communications layer.

  • Implement drivers for novel control actuation and integrate them into PX4 or other flight controllers.

  • Incorporate flight models into the existing Python flight simulator and use the simulator for algorithm development.

  • Develop Software-In-the-Loop (SWIL) and Hardware-In-the-Loop (HWIL) testing capabilities.

  • Aid in system architecture, selection, and integration of flight controllers, electronics, and sensors.

  • Support the development, integration, and testing of prototype vehicles.

  • Write, test, and debug drivers such as CANopen actuators and beyond line-of-sight radios in C++ and Python.

  • Demonstrate familiarity with low-level embedded programming concepts such as memory management, data structures, algorithms, and bit manipulation.

Requirements:

  • U.S. Citizenship required and ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance

  • Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering or a related field. Master’s degree preferred.

  • Strong skills in C++, Rust, and Python.

  • Experience in navigation algorithms (SLAM, path planning) and autonomy logic.

  • Experience with low-level embedded programming and microcontrollers.

  • Experience with PX4 or other flight controllers

  • Skilled in system architecture, component definition, and integration of prototype vehicles.

  • A passion for taking novel UAS from concept to flight!
