  • Work with flight development boards that simulate loitering munition avionics systems for software development and testing.
  • Write software targeting systems based on NXP i.MX8 or NVIDIA processors (ARM or ARM+CUDA architectures).
  • > Develop in C++ within a Linux environment; strong emphasis on modern, maintainable C++ code.
  • Use tools like GitLab and GitHub to manage version control, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing using runners for continuous integration and rigorous software validation.
  • Collaborate with autonomy, avionics, and software engineering teams to deliver reliable and efficient onboard capabilities.

Seniority level: Mid‑Senior level
