What we offer
Work in an international, agile team creating the future of autonomous systems
Grow your career in a expanding and ambitious engineering team
Build innovative products using state-of-the-art technologies in AI, robotics, and autonomy
Benefit from a steep learning curve and continuous development
Enjoy team events and a strong, collaborative culture
Your mission
Build real autonomous systems that operate in the real world, not in the lab.
Join our engineering team and help build the core autonomy that powers our next generation robotic systems used for defense and mission-critical operations. You will design, implement, and harden robotic software that must perform under real operational conditions : outdoors, under uncertainty, with real consequences. Your work will directly shape the reliability, safety, and tactical capability of the systems we deliver.
You will contribute to the development and integration of core robotic capabilities, including:
Designing and implementing robust, real-time robotics software components
Working with multi-modal sensor data, ensuring timing, synchronization, and frame correctness
Developing and improving algorithms in areas such as estimation, perception, planning, control, or integration
Ensuring deterministic behavior, reliability, and system-level stability
Debugging and validating robotic systems during field tests, under real-world constraints
Collaborating with a cross-functional team of robotics, embedded, and domain experts
Maintaining high engineering standards: code reviews, CI, reproducible builds, documentation
You will execute on real hardware and iterate based on operational performance, field results are the final metric.
Your profile
Technical Fundamentals :
Strong proficiency in modern C++ (17/20)
Experience with ROS/ ROS 2
Solid foundation in algorithms, data structures, and numerical methods
Experience developing software that runs on real robots, embedded systems, or hardware-in-the-loop setups
Comfortable working with raw sensor data (timing, noise characteristics, transforms, calibration)
Strong debugging skills: runtime issues, latency, performance bottlenecks, integration failures
Ability to architect clean, modular, maintainable software systems
R obotics Foundation :
Understanding of at least one robotics domain: state estimation, perception, tracking, planning, control, sensor fusion, or integration
Ability to reason about real-time behavior, latency budgets, and reliability requirements
End-to-end thinking: understanding how individual modules affect the whole system
Nice to have
Python for tooling or prototyping
Experience with robotics middleware or real-time systems
Background in optimization, filtering, or physical modeling
Experience with embedded platforms, GPUs, or simulation tools
We hire for core engineering ability, everything else can be learned here.
What else
Builder mentality: you ship…
