      • Demonstrated experience in robotics software development, including motion planning, perception, and control systems.
      • Experience developing or working with simulation environments (e.g., Gazebo, Unity, Unreal Engine) for robotics applications.
      • Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills to diagnose issues across complex hardware and software systems.
    • U.S. citizenship required. Candidates selected may be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.

    Preferred experience:
    • Familiarity with unmanned Navy systems.
    • Portfolio showcasing hands-on projects involving C++ programming, robotics, and PCB design.
