Senior Staff Engineer, Autonomy Integration Lead (R6159)

What you'll do:

• Build and maintain stable Pilot integrated implementations, reference configurations, reusable test fixtures, and representative end-to-end examples.
• Partner with component teams as they add capabilities to the shared integration environment, maintain the integration baseline, and help resolve gaps in shared workflows, test harnesses, or extensibility.
• Develop and maintain automated software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop tests that exercise behavior across autonomy components.
• Develop and maintain glue layer between mission autonomy software and platform software for easy integration and deployment of the stack.
• Investigate failures across system boundaries. Reproduce and instrument each problem, isolate the responsible layer, fix integration-owned defects, and give the owning team clear evidence when a component or infrastructure change is required.
• Support deployment of the integrated autonomy stack to representative hardware, including software configuration, telemetry, interface troubleshooting, and lab or field debugging.
• Work with the Flight Operations team to define test objectives, prepare integrated software and instrumentation, assess test readiness, support troubleshooting during test events, and analyze integration failures afterward.
• Write and maintain setup guides, reference configurations, troubleshooting runbooks, and executable examples. Contribute technical material to Pilot training.

Projects you might work on:

• Drive strategy and implementation diverse set of autonomy reference integrations to serve various representative missions.
• Develop workflows and tooling to enable seamless deployment of autonomy software on edge devices.
• Develop documentation to assist a user of the product to easily pull together custom autonomy integrations
