About You:
You are an experienced engineer when it comes to all things perception for robotics and autonomous systems who wants to make airplanes that fly themselves. You have hands-on experience and a theoretical background in how to make robots understand the world around them and may have developed technology for autonomous uncrewed vehicles (preferably airborne). You have experience developing software and integrating with complex systems, working with sensors, sensor processing algorithms, and fusion algorithms.
You know when to apply traditional algorithms versus machine learning approaches for perception applications, and you want a mix of strategic, design, and implementation work. You are comfortable with and competent at working with a team of senior and junior engineers, can make and justify key decisions to the rest of the team and to stakeholders, and want to drive a team’s technical direction in close collaboration with the tech leads and engineering manager.
