We are seeking a Senior Guidance Engineer to play a critical role in the development of next-generation drone platforms.
This position focuses heavily on guidance and mission-level decision-making for high-performance aerial systems operating in dynamic, real-world environments.
You will design and deploy guidance and motion planning algorithms that enable precise, high-speed maneuvers and complex mission execution. This role blends analytical rigor with creativity, tackling problems that often have no textbook solutions. You’ll collaborate closely with hardware, embedded software, and perception teams to bring advanced autonomy from concept to flight.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and optimize guidance and motion planning algorithms for autonomous drones
- Define mission-level behaviors and guidance logic, balancing performance, safety, and robustness
- Implement real-time control interfaces to execute trajectories reliably in uncertain conditions
- Work closely with embedded software, mechatronics, and perception teams to ensure seamless integration
- Identify and address edge cases and failure modes, building resilience and graceful degradation
- Stay current with advancements in drone autonomy, guidance, motion planning, and control
