Autonomy Engineer

• Lead system architecture and feature development for autonomous flight systems, focusing on multi-agent coordination, task allocation, and resource scheduling.
• Design, implement, and integrate C++ product software for guidance, navigation, and control modules, ensuring portability and scalability across aerial platforms.
• Serve as subject matter expert for state estimation and localization, developing software packages that fuse data from passive sensing, GPS, and IMU.
• Direct development of safety-critical autonomy software, coordinating safety compliance with FAA or NASA, and managing validation processes for flight control.

This role advances sustainable air mobility by developing autonomous flight systems for an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, reducing noise and emissions compared to traditional aviation.

• 9+ years of professional experience in aerospace autonomy, robotics systems, or GNC software development.
• BS in Aerospace, Electrical, or Computer Engineering; MS preferred.
• Expert proficiency in C++ for real-time embedded software and experience with robotics frameworks (e.g., ROS).
• Proven track record in robotic teaming, trajectory generation, and mission planning for Unmanned Aerial Systems or planetary exploration vehicles.

Base pay between $170,000 - $215,000 per year. Archer is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to diversity and inclusivity.
