Job Description
Software Engineer – Autonomous Systems (Robotics, Drones, Autonomous Vehicles)
We're proudly partnered with Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) to support with their ongoing engineering hiring.
About the Role
Join a high-impact engineering team building advanced autonomous defense systems that operate on the edge- in real, austere environments. You’ll develop, integrate, and deploy intelligent software that connects sensors, effectors, and AI decision-making to protect critical infrastructure from complex threats, including drone attacks.
You’ll work with experts in sensing, AI, robotics, and systems engineering to deliver fully integrated solutions that redefine the boundaries of what’s possible in autonomous defense.
What You’ll Do
- Build, test, and deploy mission-critical AI and autonomy software for navigation, sensor fusion, and area defense.
- Integrate software with radar, camera, RF sensors, and autonomous platforms.
- “Make it work” on the edge, on-prem, and hybrid-cloud — tackling deployment, networking, and hardware challenges.
- Partner across disciplines, AI, systems, robotics, and UX — to deliver production-ready solutions.
What You Bring
- 2+ years of software development experience in autonomy, robotics, drones, or embedded systems.
- Experience integrating and deploying software to edge systems (drones, self-driving, on-prem/edge servers).
- Solid grasp of networking, Linux, CI/CD, automation, and hardware integration.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or similar.
- U.S. Security Clearance (active or eligible) and ability to travel 25–75% as needed.
Why This Role
You’ll be at the intersection of AI, autonomy, and national defense, solving real-world problems that matter. Expect a fast-paced, deeply technical environment where your code ships to the edge and impacts real missions.
Location: Washington DC, Palo Alto, Seattle, Denver, New York
Compensation: $140K – $200K + RSUs
Clearance: Active or eligible U.S. Security Clearance required
