About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Design and implement autonomy modules including path planning, task allocation, behavior trees, and reactive execution models.
  • Develop and maintain the autonomy framework that integrates with orchestration (AI-driven mission planning) and world modeling.
  • Ensure AI-generated plans are executable, explainable, and safe across multi-domain robotic platforms.
  • Implement and validate navigation, control, and autonomy behaviors for UAVs, USVs, and UUVs using ROS2 and simulation environments.
  • Profile and optimize autonomy performance for edge compute hardware (Jetson, Raspberry Pi-class devices).
  • Conduct simulation-in-loop and hardware-in-loop testing to validate autonomy behaviors before live field deployment.
  • Contribute to safety, reliability, and compliance practices for autonomy in defense-relevant missions.
  • Collaborate across AI, networking, and systems engineering teams to ensure seamless orchestration of multi-vehicle operations.

Requirements

What you’ll need
