Job description

Autonomy Software Engineer - Los Angeles - Graduate / Junior to Mid-Level

We're working with a fast-growing aerospace technology company developing advanced autonomous systems for complex missions.

They're looking for an engineer to join their autonomy team, working across state estimation, tracking and trajectory prediction.

They're open on level, including strong recent Master's or PhD graduates with relevant research or project experience.

What you'll work on

• State estimation and sensor fusion
• Tracking and trajectory prediction
• Dynamics and orbital mechanics
• Developing and testing algorithms in C++ and Python

You could come from aerospace, robotics, GNC, autonomy or applied mathematics, or be a recent graduate with a strong technical background.

Experience in some of the following:

• Trajectory prediction
• C++ / Python

For graduates, we're not expecting years of commercial experience. A strong thesis, research project, internship, CubeSat or robotics project involving estimation or autonomy could absolutely be relevant.

This is an opportunity to join a small technical team solving difficult autonomy problems, with plenty of ownership from an early stage.
