About the Role

Integer Technologies is seeking an Autonomy Engineer to support the design, development, and deployment of advanced autonomy software on maritime robotic platforms. This role involves end-to-end contributions across the autonomy stack-including perception, mapping, localization, and control-tailored for real-world performance in constrained and uncertain environments. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in sensor fusion, state estimation, and real-time robotics software development, with hands-on experience in both simulation and field testing. Candidates must be U.S. citizens, eligible for a DoD security clearance, and capable of working across multidisciplinary teams to deliver scalable, maintainable, and mission-ready systems. Experience in maritime autonomy, multi-agent coordination, and distributed systems is highly desirable.

Primary Responsibilities

• Autonomous Systems Integration Deploy autonomy algorithms across the full software stack-including perception, localization, mapping, and control-in simulation and on physical robotic platforms.

• Sensor Fusion & State Estimation Work with sensors and sensor data (e.g., GPS, IMU, LiDAR, sonar, cameras) to help improve navigation and situational awareness using techniques like Kalman Filters or particle filters.

• Probabilistic Decision-Making & Autonomy Behavior Implement and tune probabilistic reasoning methods to support autonomous behavior selection in partially observable environments.

• Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) & Simulation-Based Testing Set up and use HIL environments and high-fidelity simulations to evaluate autonomy algorithms and ensure real-world readiness under varied operational scenarios and failure modes.

• Experimental Validation & Demonstration Execute field tests and simulations to validate autonomy behavior and system performance, using the results to refine system design.

• Documentation & Technical Communication Develop clear, concise technical documentation, including interface specifications, deployment guides, and post-test analysis reporting.

Required Qualifications

• Must be a U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain a US DoD Secret clearance.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field; advanced degrees preferred.

• 2+ years of professional experience developing, deploying, or integrating autonomy software and hardware systems.

• Must have experience in the implementation of autonomy algorithms for perception, mapping, localization, and/or control.

• Integrate sensors (e.g., GPS, IMU, camera, LiDAR, sonar) for robust sensor fusion and situational awareness.

• Strong proficiency in modern programming languages (e.g., C++, Python) and experience with middleware such as DDS, MQTT, Zenoh, ROS, or other real-time communication frameworks.

• Familiarity with sensor fusion and state estimation techniques such as particle filters and Extended Kalman Filters with practical experience applying these methods to real-world robotic navigation and localization problems.

• Deep understanding of autonomy frameworks, decision-making algorithms, and real-time system constraints in distributed, multi-agent environments.

• Comfortable working in both field test environments and simulation environments; experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing is advantageous.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to interface across multidisciplinary teams and external partners.

Additional Desired Qualifications

• Experience developing autonomy software for maritime, aerospace, or ground robotics systems operating in GPS-denied or communications-constrained environments.

• Experience defining requirements for robotics systems.

• Experience using Robot Operating System (ROS/ROS2).

• Knowledge of control theory and vehicle kinematics/dynamics

• Knowledge of distributed systems, multi-agent coordination, or swarm autonomy concepts.

• Hands-on experience with containerized deployment (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) on embedded or ruggedized platforms.

• Active Secret or higher DoD security clearance.
