About the role

  • Autonomy Engineer designing and implementing autonomy stacks for multi-vehicle orchestration at NODA AI. Leading innovations in robotics and AI-driven mission intent execution.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement autonomy modules including path planning, task allocation, behavior trees, and reactive execution models.
  • Develop and maintain the autonomy framework that integrates with orchestration (AI-driven mission planning) and world modeling.
  • Ensure AI-generated plans are executable, explainable, and safe across multi-domain robotic platforms.
  • Implement and validate navigation, control, and autonomy behaviors for UAVs, USVs, and UUVs using ROS2 and simulation environments.
  • Profile and optimize autonomy performance for edge compute hardware (Jetson, Raspberry Pi-class devices).
  • Conduct simulation-in-loop and hardware-in-loop testing to validate autonomy behaviors before live field deployment.
  • Contribute to safety, reliability, and compliance practices for autonomy in defense-relevant missions.
  • Collaborate across AI, networking, and systems engineering teams to ensure seamless orchestration of multi-vehicle operations.

Requirements

  • 3+ years experience developing autonomy or robotics systems.
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python for real-time autonomy development.
  • Strong hands-on experience with ROS2 and robotics middleware.
  • Background in motion planning, navigation, and control systems.
  • Experience with state estimation, sensor fusion, and autonomy validation.
  • Familiarity with behavior trees, task allocation, or symbolic planners.
  • Knowledge of simulation environments (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, AirSim, or equivalent).
  • U.S. Citizenship with ability to obtain a clearance.

Benefits

  • Hybrid work environment
  • Competitive pay
  • Flexible time off
  • Generous PTO policy
  • Federal holidays
  • Generous health, dental, and vision benefits
  • Free OneMedical membership
