About the role

Staff Software Engineers lead the delivery of a variety of software integrated in to our products, acting as technical leads, extremely senior individual contributors, and/or as team leads that are also hands-on contributors. This includes autonomy, simulation, data processing, payload integration, and off-board command and control and decision support. We expect Staff Software Engineers to demonstrate unparalleled end-to-end outcome ownership, driving the rapid architecting, design, delivery, support, and evolution of next generation autonomous platforms through their entire product life-cycle.

Responsibilities

• Own customer success through the design and delivery of a multi-year, multi-stakeholder software roadmap that spans across multiple teams.
• Leverage internal product and program-specific engineering teams to rapidly deliver capability beyond the scope of current platforms, with a clear path for both architecture and capability evolution over time
• Partner with external teams, collaborating on interfacing requirements between diverse systems and technologies
• Drive architecture selection and design for robotic systems, including hardware selection, compute, storage and network architecture, service orchestration and other software platform concerns that balance constraints, restrictions and requirements in a multi-stakeholder environment
• Contribute to the design and development of a company wide roadmap for software inputs to autonomous systems
• Lead teams that develop software that runs on- and off-platform, using a variety of technologies
• Act as a subject matter expert for software engineering, representing software equities in a multi-stakeholder environment including engineering, business and sales leadership.
• Drive the design and implementation of development processes for the initial delivery and subsequent iteration of software, including full lifecycle testing
• Drive the creation of test and simulation fixtures that operate with both software- and hardware-in-the-loop
• Support vehicle manufacturing and deployment
• Lead teams of multi-disciplinary engineers, including as a mentor for Senior Software Engineers from differing backgrounds
• Travel to co-locate with end-users and/or other teams up to 20% of the time

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Engineering, a relevant field, or equivalent experience
• Experience in a leadership position within a high performing technology organization

• Systems and/or application programming skills including algorithms, data structures, concurrency, scaling, testing, infrastructure, software design and system design
• Experience troubleshooting and analyzing remotely deployed software systems
• Capacity to work holistically on software enabled capabilities up and down the software stack and through lifecycle through design, implementation, operation and sustainment
• Capacity to act as the technical owner for an entire software system, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team co-ordination, design, implementation, sustainment and evolution
• Capacity to learn and grow individually, while mentoring senior team members effectively, building team cohesion and capacity
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Prioritization

• Experience in a senior role for the delivery of a military mission system
• Experience writing backend services or embedded software in C++, Rust and/or Go
• Experience writing frontend applications using Typescript and React
• Experience with the design, implementation and operation of horizontally scaled cloud technologies
• Experience with the design, implementation and support of embedded software, particularly in the field of robotics
• Experience with modeling and simulation
• Experience with development of high assurance safety critical software
• Experience within the product delivery lifecycle including manufacturing, system acceptance, deployment, and sustainment
• Familiarity with Systems Engineering concepts
• Desire to learn and grow in to other roles that require experience as a Staff Software Engineer, such as Principal Software Engineer and/or Senior Manager, Software Engineering
• Desire to grow in to a Tech-Lead-Manager role, with responsibility for line management of engineers, in addition to delivery
