Artificial Intelligence Engineer

Company Mission

We build and field-test practical autonomy and sensing systems using commercial off-the-shelf parts. You’ll contribute software that powers two live programs: a semi-autonomous ground rover (ArduPilot-based) and a solar-powered water-quality station (Arduino-based) — both designed for fast, repeatable deployments and dual-use relevance.

We’re hiring an Entry-Level AI Engineer to turn research into reliable, production-grade features—especially around LLMs, retrieval, evaluation, and safety—with a primary focus on Python (and some Java for service integration).

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and maintain software using Java and Python for robotics, sensing, and data pipelines.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to integrate code with sensors, navigation systems, and telemetry streams.
• Write clean, testable code for simulations, QA tools, and field-ready deployments.
• Contribute to debugging and troubleshooting during lab and field operations.
• Regularly propose new features and solutions to improve autonomy, reliability, and usability.
• Stay updated on emerging software tools, frameworks, and defense technology applications.
