Robotics Software Engineer-Entry Level

Who We Are
Neya is a leader in advanced robotics developing off-road autonomy for both commercial and defense customers. Our deep domain expertise spans semi-autonomy, autonomy, perception, and mission planning; all of which support a wide range of DoD and commercial thrust areas. Our main center of gravity is in the Pittsburgh area.
This person should be local to the Pittsburgh area and able to work in the office in a hybrid capacity.
We're looking for a junior-level Robotics Software Engineer to support full-stack autonomy development including perception, localization, navigation, and task optimization. You will have the opportunity to work on a diverse set of robotics challenges ranging from control of large construction equipment, drone navigation and planning autonomous jet-ski perception, 3D scene reconstruction, and self-driving off-road vehicles. You will assist a strong team of scientists and engineers to help drive critical architecture decisions within our machine learning and computer vision pipeline.
What You'll Do

• Support and assist in the design, optimization and implementation of cutting-edge localization and path-planning systems for off-road vehicles.
• Enhance unified back-end architecture that coordinates tasking for multi-platform autonomy behaviors across a wide variety of UGVs and UAVs
• Support simulating scenarios using tools such as Unreal and Gazebo
• Assist in the development and implementation of unit testing of code using simulation tools and actual hardware

What We're Looking For

• B.S. or M.S. Robotics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, etc. or equivalent in industry experience
• 1-2 years of relevant industry experience
• Experience writing object-oriented code in Linux/C++, using a git-based workflow in a Linux environment
• Familiarity with modern software principles, architecture, and design
• Excellent mathematical reasoning skills, especially with probability
• Experience with unit testing suites such as GTest, CppUnit
• General understanding of Agile software development cycle and development methodology
• Familiarity with data processing, sensor error modeling and simulation tools
• Some experience with autonomous and robotics systems is preferred

How To Stand Out

• Strong C++ and/or Python development skills
• Familiarity with game engines (Unreal, Unity, etc.) and simulation frameworks based on them
• Solid understanding of advanced algorithms and data structures
• Hands-on, eager curious and never satisfied with the status quo

What Makes Neya Unique

• Solve immediate and pressing real-world problems that advance state-of-the-art
• Work with some of the smartest people in unmanned systems
• Great company culture
• Competitive salary and benefits including 401k, ESOP and company paid medical, dental, life insurance
• Flexible hours and working conditions
