We are seeking candidates who live in proximity to our corporate HQ in Fairfax, VA primarily but will entertain persons living near our satellite offices in:

Aberdeen, MD - Titusville, FL - Newport News, VA - Carthage NC


Primary Responsibilities

  • Enhance or augment embedded software for autonomous vehicles (UGV, UAV, UUV, USV) to extend baseline capabilities
  • Implement sensor fusion for autonomous navigation (LIDAR, cameras, IMU, sonar)
  • Design control systems for robotic platforms and actuators
  • Create hardware abstraction layers following MOSA/SOSA standards
  • Develop digital twin simulations for hardware-in-the-loop testing
  • Implement real-time operating systems (RTOS) and safety-critical software
  • Develop and verify safety-critical software in accordance with established standards and best practices
  • Design and fabricate custom hardware solutions using 3D printing and rapid prototyping
  • Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices using SysML/AADL
Secondary Responsibilities
  • Lead field testing and validation of autonomous systems
  • Support deployment and troubleshooting in operational environments
  • Create hardware test fixtures and validation procedures
  • Document MOSA compliance and interface specifications
  • Train operators on system capabilities and limitations

Experience:

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years embedded systems and/or robotics development experience
  • Strong proficiency in C and C++ for real-time for resource-constrained systems
  • Expert proficiency and practical knowledge of Python for scripting, tooling, and rapid prototyping
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2 for robotics development
  • Hands-on experience with autonomous vehicle platforms
  • Proficiency with CAD tools and 3D printing/fabrication
  • Understanding of control theory and path planning algorithms
  • Experience with hardware communication protocols (CAN, I2C, SPI, UART)
  • Familiarity with MOSA/SOSA standards and open architectures
  • Experience with simulation tools (Gazebo, MATLAB/Simulink)
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms for autonomous systems
  • Military/defense robotics experience (ROS-M, JAUS)
  • Hands-on experience with RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, VxWorks) and/or embedded Linux (Yocto, Buildroot)
  • Knowledge of digital twin technologies and real-time simulation
  • Familiarity with DO-178C, DO-254, or similar safety standards

  • US Citizenship required

What Makes You Successful Here
  • You can go from CAD design to functioning prototype in days
  • You understand autonomy from sensors to behavior planning
  • You apply systems engineering rigor to rapid prototyping
  • You're comfortable with both lab development and field operations
  • You see MOSA as an enabler, not a constraint
