Autonomy Software Expert - Defense Robotics

Fancy building autonomy for the modern battlefield?

We’re supporting a rapidly growing defence autonomy company depicting next-generation autonomous ground vehicle systems designed to operate in complex, high-pressure environments.

They’re currently hiring Autonomy Software Experts at junior, senior, staff, and more experienced levels to help design, integrate, test, and deploy autonomy software across advanced robotic platforms for real-world national security missions. The company is continuing to scale rapidly as global demand for autonomous defence capability increases.

• Develop and deploy autonomy software onto real robotic vehicle platforms
• Work closely with hardware, controls, perception, and embedded teams
• Improve vehicle behaviour, navigation, sensing, and mission performance
• Analyse testing data, troubleshoot issues, and optimise system performance
• Collaborate directly with stakeholders and end-users to deliver new capabilities

• Work on highly advanced autonomy systems with real operational impact
• Join a business at the forefront of defence robotics and autonomous mobility
• Be part of a fast-moving engineering environment solving complex challenges
• Gain exposure across robotics, AI, autonomy, embedded systems, and field operations
• Help shape the future of autonomous ground systems at scale

• Strong long-term growth opportunity within a scaling company
• High-impact engineering work with cutting-edge technology
• Exposure to real-world deployment and testing environments
• Competitive compensation and overall package

Experience with C++, Python, ROS2, robotics, autonomy, software-hardware integration, path planning, perception, embedded systems, or safety-critical software would all be highly relevant.
