Original job description

Description

Passionate about designing, building, and testing robotic systems that solve challenging real-world problems?

Excited by the opportunity to combine hardware, embedded software, sensing, and autonomy to create innovative capabilities for uncrewed systems?

Motivated to push the boundaries of robotics technology and deliver capabilities that make a meaningful difference to U.S. defense and intelligence operations?

If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL.

The Cyber-Physical Systems Development Group is seeking a Robotics and Autonomous Systems Engineer to develop advanced capabilities that give U.S. operators an asymmetric advantage as robotics and autonomy transform modern operations. These technologies are being increasingly being used around the world to extend operators' reach into dangerous and denied environments, providing greater access, awareness, and freedom of action. Our staff tackle a variety of operational challenges by evaluating emerging capabilities, developing and integrating new systems, adapting current systems to new missions, and identifying and exploiting system vulnerabilities. We turn these innovations into mission-ready capabilities that address critical challenges facing the defense and intelligence communities.

As a Robotics and Autonomous Systems Engineer, you will...

Design, develop, and integrate hardware, electronics, firmware, and software for uncrewed, robotic, and autonomous platforms.
Plan and execute laboratory and field tests to validate performance, diagnose failures, and refine system designs.
Develop and implement autonomy capabilities, including perception, navigation, mission execution, and coordination among multiple platforms.
Document system designs, integration procedures, and test results, and communicate technical capabilities and findings to teammates, project leaders, and sponsors.
Identify and evaluate emerging robotics technologies, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and develop innovative solutions to evolving operational challenges.

Qualifications

You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you possess...

Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or another field relevant to the duties as described above.
At least 3 years of experience developing uncrewed, robotic, or autonomous systems with hands-on experience integrating hardware and software subsystems such as sensors, onboard computing, communications, controllers, and payloads.
Proficiency in developing and debugging software in Python and/or C++ for robotic systems, including experience with robotic control architectures, middleware, and communication interfaces for exchanging commands, telemetry, and sensor data.
Hands-on experience troubleshooting complex electromechanical and software systems, including planning and executing laboratory or field tests, diagnosing failures, and implementing and validating solutions.
Demonstrated ability to independently own technical tasks, collaborate across engineering disciplines, and deliver functional prototypes or tested capabilities.
Are able to obtain an Interim Top Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Top Secret level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you possess...

Master’s degree in Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
At least 5 years of experience designing, integrating, and testing uncrewed systems, particularly small UAV and UGV platforms.
Experience implementing robotic autonomy capabilities such as computer vision, object tracking, SLAM, odometry, sensor fusion, and autonomous navigation.
Experience designing custom digital and analog circuit boards for constrained size, weight, and power (SWaP) systems.
Experience developing embedded software and firmware to manage onboard power, sensing, control, actuation, and communication functions.
