Autonomy Engineer

EpiSci is at the forefront of tactical mission autonomy, developing cutting-edge technologies for both defense and commercial applications. As an Autonomy Engineer, you'll be instrumental in designing and implementing architectures and systems for tactical autonomy applications.

The role involves working with advanced technologies including:

• Development of software for F16 fighter jets and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
• Implementation of state-of-the-art UAS autonomy solutions
• Creation of hybrid autonomous algorithms for military and commercial applications
• Collaboration with DoD warfighter experts and UAS vehicle vendors

The position requires a Master's degree in computer science or related engineering field, with 6+ years of hands-on experience in autonomous robotic systems. You'll be working with Python primarily, and knowledge of Rust and C++ is beneficial.

What makes this role unique is the opportunity to work on real military systems and missions, implementing cutting-edge autonomy solutions that directly impact national security. You'll be involved in everything from sensor processing to mission planning and control theory.

The role involves approximately 20% travel, and candidates must be U.S. citizens eligible for a U.S. Secret security clearance. You'll be working with advanced technologies and frameworks including Docker, Linux-based systems, and defense modeling tools like AFSIM and NGTS.

This is an opportunity to be at the forefront of autonomous systems development, working on projects that directly enhance military capabilities while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in autonomous technology.
