Who Are We?
Have you recently found yourself in the middle of a hostile robot takeover? Are your loved ones being farmed as an inefficient power source because of your favorable views toward humanity? Join us and take your stand in protecting humans from bad robots. We formed a rebel enclave to provide world-class counter-autonomous systems, products, and services to support the United States and foreign allied governments, civilian critical infrastructure, and public venues.
Our team designs and builds world-class Counter-Robot systems to provide persistent protection across varied threat environments and mission sets. We manage the entire Counter-Robot kill chain from detection through countermeasures. We aim to protect humans and property from autonomous and remotely piloted, uncrewed systems (UxS) threats.
What You’ll Do:
You will play a key role in designing, developing, and optimizing backend systems for Counter-UXS (C-UxS) command and control (C2) products. You will be involved in integrating sensors and effectors, developing modular microservices, and creating a suite of capabilities to meet business stakeholder and engineering requirements. You’ll leverage your experience to help deliver industry leading autonomous defense and robotic systems for multi-mission environments.
Key Responsibilities
Backend System Design and Development: Leverage your expertise in Java and Python to build scalable and high-performance solutions that contribute to the continuous enhancement of C-UxS capabilities. Hardware Integration: Integrate a variety of sensors, effectors, and other hardware components that includes radar, electro-optical cameras, infra-red cameras, radio frequency sensors and effectors, GPS devices, inertial measurement units, and lidar.Data Processing and Analysis: Develop services to extract relevant information from raw sensing data and integrate that information into data processing pipelines. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to analyze data trends, patterns, and anomalies. Parallelization and Optimization: Implement parallel processing techniques to enhance the performance of data processing and C2 workflows. Optimize parallel execution, making efficient use of computational resources to be performant in a distributed system of systems environment. Network Programming: Develop and maintain network and messaging services for seamless communication between a variety of network topologies. Collaborate with other teams to ensure efficient data and request flows to various products. Code Optimization: Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code. Focus on modular, high performant, and scalable services.Collaboration: Work closely with interdisciplinary teams, including domain experts, software developers, and business stakeholders to understand project requirements and deliver solutions that meet the needs of end-users. Work alongside data scientists and frontend developers to create interoperable solutions.Documentation: Create comprehensive documentation regarding the design, implementation, testing, and operation of the work that is completed. Plan and update roadmaps for assigned software capabilities.Required Skills and Abilities
