Job description

• We are hiring a Software Engineer, Autonomy Integration, who will be embedded in the Planning and Controls team and work day to day with Pilot's cross-functional Integration team.
• In this hands-on software role, you will build durable integration capability: reliable environments, representative end-to-end tests, diagnosable failures, and software that is ready for hardware and flight testing.
• You will draw on your experience in planning, controls, or autonomy decision-making and your systems integration skills to work across domain boundaries.
• The Pilot Integration team provides stable reference integrations that component teams can use to add new capabilities and prove that they work as part of the larger autonomy stack.
• It builds and maintains the environments where Hivemind Pilot's autonomy capabilities come together.
• The team's work spans planning and controls, perception, simulation, vehicle interfaces, deployment, and system-level testing.
• We are hiring across multiple experience levels.
• Depending on experience, engineers may begin with well-defined integrations and tests or independently own end-to-end workflows and ambiguous cross-system investigations
