- You'll collaborate with teammates on improving graphics and terrain pipelines to harmonize our sensor and visual models.
- You'll work across the engineering organization to integrate models and hardware with our greater simulation suite.
- You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with stakeholders in flight test, human factors, business development and engineering.
Your Qualifications:
- You have a high level of competence in modern software engineering practices.
- You lead engineering processes using one or more of the following languages: C++ 11+, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript.
- You set standards, conduct code reviews and ensure appropriate levels of testing and continuous integration for projects within your purview.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Aviation background (e.g. a pilot's license or in previous employment)
- Robotics or simulation experience, especially in a robotics machine learning context
- Performance engineering or distributed systems experience
- Experience with React and front-end development
- Simulink experience, especially integrating Simulink with other C++ applications
- Experience configuring continuous integration
- Graphics engine experience, especially Unreal via the C++ API or in managing Unreal as a render farm
