Palantir is seeking to develop advanced autonomous systems for area defense to protect civilian and military installations from threats like drone attacks.
Requirements
- Proven experience in software development for autonomous systems, embedded systems, or robotics.
- Knowledge of AI/ML, sensor processing, or swarm behaviors is highly desirable.
- Strong proficiency in Rust, Python, or Java
- 5+ years of professional software development experience
- 2+ years of experience contributing to the system design or architecture (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems
- 2+ years of experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and optimize software for mission-critical autonomous systems using modern technologies and methodologies.
- Develop algorithms to process data from heterogeneous sensors for real-time state estimation and threat detection.
- Build AI-driven systems capable of assessing threats and rapidly making decisions to deploy responses to those threats.
- Develop integrations with a range of sensors, effectors, and autonomous platforms.
- Engineer scalable, reliable, and fail-safe systems capable of functioning in high-stakes environments.
- Partner with multidisciplinary teams, including robotics experts, hardware engineers, and system integrators, to deliver integrated solutions.
Other
- Ability to manage complexity, optimize for performance, and think critically under pressure.
- Experience deploying and maintaining robust production systems.
- Active US Security clearance or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance
- We believe employees are “better together” and in-person work affords the opportunity for more creative outcomes. Therefore, we encourage employees to work from our offices to foster connectivity and innovation.
- Many teams do offer hybrid options (WFH a day or two a week), allowing our employees to strike the right trade-off for their personal productivity.
