The company is a small, fast-moving, and high-performance startup that is backed by the best DefenseTech venture capitalists with over $50M in funding.

Job Title: Senior Software Engineer - Simulation

  • Reporting directly to the Product Engineering Manager
  • Geographically flexible for home-office



Primary Responsibilities:

  • Deliver on capabilities for TurbineOne's autonomous vehicle focused efforts. You'll be part of a team building out simulation infrastructure to model behavior.
  • While there is a large opportunity to specialize, we're looking for a generalist position in the uncrewed vehicle space.
  • Collaborate with Design and Product Management on feature design, delivery schedule and trade off decision points.
  • Be a product owner - there are no tickets to crunch here, be an active builder and designer, shaping the direction of T1's code and features.
  • Our technical stack is a Vue 3 client on a Golang server, with a MongoDB storage layer. We currently support a number of vehicle platforms, across architectures and AI accelerators.



Desired Experience:

  • 5 Years working in production or prototyping development positions.
  • Experience with either ROS or MavLINK, or another platform demonstrating an understanding of the core vehicle software stack.
  • Experience with API design and best practices for REST
  • You have demonstrable experience working through ambiguity, navigating uncertain product domains, or becoming involved cross functionally.
  • You've been involved in technical design review processes, review boards, or similar thoughtful exercises on technical design considerations.



Startup Culture Expectations:

  • We're a small, fully remote team and everything is our responsibility.
  • Our team thrives on autonomy, trust and solid communication.
  • Everyone on the Team needs to be very comfortable with constant change, moving fast, sharing failures, embracing grit, and building things themselves. Most startups fail and no one will come to save us.

Eligibility:

  • Must be eligible to obtain a clearance with the U.S. government.
