Senior Autonomy Engineer - Controls

About the Role

The controls algorithms running onboard autonomous drones define their behavior, creating stable and smooth flight and gimbal motion. This enables pilots to easily execute their objectives from inspection and mapping to missions and security use cases. You will contribute to the development and implementation of core motion planning software, from low-level stabilization and control to high-level task-specific frameworks, with a particular focus on low-level controls.

How You'll Make an Impact

• Develop, tune, and evaluate low-level controllers and trajectory optimization
• Work across the software system to define the right data and interfaces for successful control
• Work with the UX team to explore and define planning/UI boundaries for new interaction paradigms

What Makes You a Good Fit

• Industry or research experience writing software that controls real hardware, such as robotic arm manipulation, self-driving cars, aerial robots, or mobile robots
• Modern and classical control design methods
• High proficiency in C++
• Dynamic programming expertise
