You should be comfortable handling complex workloads across R&D, prototyping, and mission-critical production deployments. Primary responsibilities include, but are not limited to: Lead the development and implementation of high-level autonomous behaviours for unmanned vehicles. Design and optimise algorithms for obstacle avoidance, path planning, and mission-level autonomy. Work extensively with ROS2, DDS, and Linux-based systems to develop robust autonomy software. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including perception, navigation, and hardware engineers, to integrate autonomy solutions. Develop and maintain high-quality, well-documented code using C++ and Python. Conduct rigorous testing and validation of autonomy software in both simulated and real-world environments. Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and guidance to junior engineers and researchers. Balance R&D experimentation with production-level software deployment and optimisation. PERSON SPECIFICIATION Essential skills, knowledge and experience: Extensive experience in C++, with a focus on software architecture and algorithms. Strong understanding of autonomous system design, including motion planning, state estimation, and behaviour-based control. Experience working with Linux, including system-level debugging and performance tuning. Solid knowledge of real-time systems, distributed computing, and middleware communication frameworks. Experience developing and deploying software in an R&D and production environment. Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to innovate and iterate on autonomy algorithms.
