* Architect backend systems for CI/CD workflows, data pipelines, and ML model training.
* Collaborate with avionics, systems engineering, and IT teams to ensure robust integration.
* Support simulation, integration, and flight test activities to validate software in relevant environments.
* Participate in design reviews, trade studies, and technical planning for advanced software architectures.
* Write, test, document, and review code according to industry best practices.
Qualifications
* 4 - 7 years of industry experience in software development for complex systems. Master's degree, preferred.
* Ability to architect scalable backend systems for CI/CD and ML workflows.
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical discipline.
* Experience with AI/ML frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
* Experience with real-time systems and robotics middleware (ROS, DDS).
* Experience with software design patterns, modular architectures, and API development.
* Hands-on experience with Linux and open-source development tools.
* Proficiency in Python and C++ for high-performance applications.
* Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug complex distributed systems.
* Strong understanding of computer vision algorithms and sensor fusion techniques.
Preferred Qualifications
* Doctorate in Computer Science, Aerospace, or related field, preferred.
* Experience developing aviation-certified software (DO-178C) or other safety-critical systems.
* Background in robotics, automotive, or industrial automation software development.
* Experience with computer vision libraries (OpenCV, CUDA) and GPU optimization.
* Familiarity with cloud-based ML workflows and data pipeline architectures.
* Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
* Knowledge of state machines, behavior trees, and task planning algorithms.
* Experience with multi-agent collaboration and human-machine interfaces.
* Startup or rapid development program experience.
* Pilot's license or aviation experience is a plus.
Benefits
* Comprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, vision, dental, with additional dependent coverage options
* Employer-Paid Coverages: Group term life, short- and long-term disability insurance
* Flexible Spending Accounts: FSA and HSA offerings with company contributions to HSA
* Well-being: Calm Health, Employee Assistance Program, and wellness incentives through medical provider
* 401(k) Plan: Dollar-for-dollar match up to 5% after 90 days, with 100% vesting at 1 year of service
* PTO: Various PTO plans starting at 100 hours accrued within the first year
* Additional Time off Benefits: Paid holidays, 2 weeks of Paid Parental leave, paid time for funeral leave and jury duty
* Career Development: Tuition reimbursement program and professional growth opportunities
