Job Description

As an Autonomy Products Engineer, you'll build applications with our autonomy platform and get them into the hands of customers tackling a wide range of use cases including inspection, mapping, cinematography, inventory, situational awareness, and emergency response. These represent some of the first deployments of truly autonomous robots to perform valuable real-world tasks in large and critical industries. A vital component of this success involves building applications that leverage our autonomy system to meet the demands of specific verticals and to bring state-of-the-art robotics technology to market.

How you'll make an impact:

• Build state-of-the-art autonomous workflows with our Skydio Skills SDK and autonomy platform
• Build complex software products through collaboration with our autonomy, mobile, platform, design, product, and flight test teams
• Rapidly prototype and iterate to validate industry requirements and take ownership of those prototypes as they mature into robust commercial products
• Guide the requirements, release, and testing process to ensure high quality deliverables
• Capture, understand, and react to customer feedback and potentially changing demands, and ensure day-to-day excellence of the software product
• Design core API hooks when new use-cases arise
• Travel to customer sites and engage with end-users to gain a deep understanding of real use cases and the value that Skydio can add for them

What makes you a good fit:

• Experience with complex codebases involving geometric concepts and user interfaces
• Strong software engineering fundamentals; emphasis on Python, with a desire for C++
• Attention to code quality, including the design of APIs and state machines
• Experience building projects interfacing with and creating applications for robots or hardware devices
• Highly curious, creative, and able to communicate concepts to non-technical audiences
• iOS, Android, and web development experience is a bonus
• Excited to use robotics to make the world safer, more productive, and more creative
