Software Engineer, Systems Engineer, Robotics

Overview

We build and field-test practical autonomy and sensing systems using commercial off-the-shelf parts. You’ll contribute software that powers two live programs: a semi-autonomous ground rover (Ardu Pilot-based) and a solar-powered water-quality station (Arduino-based) — both designed for fast, repeatable deployments and dual-use relevance.

We are seeking enthusiastic Software Engineers to join our team. This is a paid opportunity ($55/hour) designed to give you real engineering experience, mentorship, and exposure to projects with direct defense applications. High-performing interns may also receive referrals to defense companies.

• Write and test software in Java and Python for robotics, sensing, and telemetry systems.
• Collaborate with engineers to connect code with real sensors, navigation systems, and IoT devices.
• Assist in building QA tools, simulation scripts, and calibration checkers.
• Debug and troubleshoot systems both in the lab and in the field.
• Contribute ideas for improving autonomy, reliability, and data processing.
• Stay current with software tools, frameworks, and industry trends in defense and autonomy.

Undergraduate or graduate students pursuing majors in:

• Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields
• Information Technology, Data Science, or Applied Math with strong coding skills

Must-haves:

• Proficiency in Java and Python
• Familiarity with Git, Linux, and collaborative development workflows
• Strong problem-solving and debugging ability
• Curiosity and initiative to learn new tools quickly
• Ability to manage tasks independently and meet deadlines

• Coursework or projects involving robotics, embedded systems, or IoT
• Familiarity with APIs, data visualization, or scripting
• Hands-on experience with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or microcontrollers
• Knowledge of databases, REST APIs, or telemetry protocols (MQTT/HTTP)
• Participation in coding clubs, hackathons, or engineering competitions

• Competitive pay $55/hour and/or CPT/OPT letter upon request with flexible hours (remote/hybrid options)
• Work on real-world robotics and sensing systems, not just simulations
• Direct mentorship from experienced engineers and defense professionals
• Gain industry-relevant experience that strengthens your resume
• Opportunity for referrals to major defense companies based on performance
• Collaborative, fast-paced environment where your work gets tested in the field
