Job description

About Forterra
At Forterra, we are unleashing autonomy at scale to transform the battlefield. Our mission is to build the foundational platforms that enable an intelligent ecosystem to coordinate, adapt, and execute with speed and precision even in the uncertainty and disruption of modern conflict. In an era marked by rapid technological change and evolving threats, we design for flexibility, survivability, and operational dominance.
Forterra delivers weapons, sensors, and battlefield effects through integrated autonomous networks reaching operational areas faster, safer, and without placing human lives at risk. Our systems operate with distributed control, dynamic routing, and real-time responsiveness, enabling sustained advantage across complex mission environments.
About the role
Forterra is seeking a senior software engineer with a passion for autonomous systems. In this role, you will design, develop, and field software solutions that enable intelligent behavior in robotics and automation technologies. You will directly support real-world missions across our fleet of ground vehicles operated by our national security customers around the world.
The ideal candidate has a strong software development background, familiarity with robotics and autonomous systems, and proven track record of collaborating with a cross-functional team of engineers, researchers, and product managers to create robust and scalable software for complex systems.
What you'll do
  • Bring autonomy into real operations: Integrate and deploy our autonomy stack on customer-bound hardware platforms and validate it in real-world conditions.
  • Build with users and stakeholders: Work across the organization and directly with end-users to deliver new behaviors, payload integrations, and emerging mission use-cases.
  • Optimize the full system: Take a holistic view of autonomous vehicle behavior-how sensing, compute, controls, and other subsystems interact-and drive overall performance improvements.
  • Close the loop from test to deploy: Analyze test results, identify issues and root causes, and collaborate with engineering teams to drive problems to resolution
  • Improve the core autonomy stack: Detect performance shortfalls, shape solution approaches, and implement enhancements in partnership with cross-functional teams.
  • Connect product needs to R&D execution: Partner across business development and engineering teams to translate customer requirements into delivered autonomy capabilities.
  • Travel: Travel ranging from 10-25% and 25-50% depending on candidate preference and role placement. Ability to commute to Arlington, VA as needed.

Qualifications
  • 3 or more years of relevant experience
  • B.S. in computer science, engineering, robotics, or related field or relevant experience/show of skill
  • Experience in integrating software on hardware products
  • Strong programming skills in languages such as C++, Python, or Java
  • Solid core software engineering skills: software design, unit testing, debugging
  • Ability to consistently deliver production-quality software in a continuously integrated environment
  • Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and software design principles
  • Demonstrates clean, maintainable code and documentation practices
  • Experience working in teams and a willingness to proactively solve problems

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in software development for robotics and autonomous systems
  • Experience with safety-critical systems (e.g., MIL-STD-882, ISO-26262, DO-178)
  • Experience with ROS2
  • Experience with state machines and motion / path planning
  • Knowledge of navigation, mapping algorithms and robot perception
  • Familiarity with real-time operating systems and embedded programming
  • Leadership experience on cross-functional software teams
