Employer Job Description
From Clera's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
About the Role
Join a defense technology team building autonomous robotic systems for countering unmanned aircraft. You will develop and ship production C++ software that connects sensor data, tracking, control, and autonomy on physical hardware.
What You'll Do
- Own production C++ features across sensor data processing, tracking, control, and autonomy.
- Profile and resolve threading, process structure, latency, and timing issues in the software you own.
- Build and maintain tests, CI/CD, and hardware-in-the-loop testing alongside feature development.
- Debug failures that occur on real hardware, including in field conditions.
- Take part in regular field tests.
What We're Looking For
- At least 4 years of hands-on robotics software engineering experience.
- Demonstrated production C++ experience on a physical robotic system, with software that reached repeated use in the field or operational environments.
- Experience owning software features across sensor data, tracking, control, or autonomy.
- Fluency with real-time systems, including threading, latency, and timing analysis.
- Experience with CI/CD or hardware-in-the-loop testing for hardware-facing software.
- Experience with sensor synchronization, timestamps, coordinate frames, sensor fusion, Kalman filtering, or target tracking is useful.
- ROS or ROS2, cameras, IMUs, encoders, gimbal or turret systems, and defense, aerospace, or safety-critical software experience are helpful.
- Must be a U.S. Person due to export control requirements.
