About the role

  • If you're driven by hard problems, energized by rapid innovation, and ready to make an impact on next-generation flight systems, you belong here.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop target detection, tracking, and state estimation pipelines that produce robust track kinematics under challenging observation conditions
  • Implement track initiation, maintenance, association, and termination logic with well-characterized uncertainty
  • Develop and tune nonlinear state estimators (EKF, UKF, particle filters) for target motion modeling
  • Manage temporal alignment, coordinate frames, and data association across heterogeneous sensor streams
  • Own the perception architecture for the program and drive alignment with autonomy, guidance, and mission software teams
  • Design DDS topic structures and message contracts for perception outputs within a WOSA-aligned architecture
  • Build ROS2 nodes and libraries that expose perception capabilities through clean, versioned interfaces
  • Develop and optimize perception code in C++ for deterministic performance on embedded compute
  • Support integration, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and field validation of perception subsystems
  • Write technical design documents, RFCs, and trade studies that drive perception architecture decisions
