Software Engineer - Robotics

We are a cutting-edge defense tech start-up, building autonomous drone systems. At only 4 years old, we have received $200 M in Series B funding, with a $2.2 B evaluation. If you want to join a company with a rare trajectory and utilize our growth to catapult your career, please apply!Position OverviewWe are seeking a Software Engineer with a speciality in Robotics. In this position, you will be responsible for turning computer vision output into precise, safe motion — running real-time control loops, and getting the turret pointed exactly where we want it, when we want it.What You'll DoControl robot motion to track drones under tight real-time constraints.Develop and tune real-time control loops for accurate, stable pointing.Own calibration routines and coordinate-frame transforms across the sensor/actuator chain.Define and negotiate a robust software/hardware contract at the actuation handoff, minimizing rework.Enforce safety constraints on motion (limits, no-fire zones, fault handling) as a first-class design concern.What You'll NeedBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.Strong proficiency in C++ for real-time/deterministic code; Python for tooling and analysis.Solid grounding in linear algebra, kinematics, and coordinate transforms.Experience with real-time or low-latency systems and performance optimization.Control theory fundamentals (PID and beyond).You'll Stand OutRobotics frameworks (ROS/ROS 2) and Eigen.Advanced control (MPC, LQR, state estimation / Kalman filtering).Motor / servo / actuator control and sensor calibration.Real-time Linux, deterministic scheduling, or safety-critical systems experience.What We OfferCompetitive salaryACS Equity PackageHealth, Dental, Vision InsurancePaid Time Off
