Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Design and productionize vision-based navigation, state-estimation, and sensor-fusion algorithms for embedded/autonomous defense platforms. Implement real-time C++ systems, integrate IMU/cameras/LiDAR/radar/GNSS, stabilize GNSS-VIO handover, optimize CPU/GPU performance, build evaluation pipelines, and validate in-flight with fault detection and graceful degradation.

Design, train, and deploy real-time vision and multi-sensor perception systems for autonomous defense platforms. Build detection/segmentation/tracking models, data pipelines, optimization for embedded inference, fusion with auxiliary sensors, testing/validation in simulation and flight, and instrument drift/health monitoring.

Design, implement, and deploy autonomy software across perception, localization, sensor fusion, navigation, planning, and embedded inference. Work from prototype through simulation, HITL, flight test, and deployment, collaborating with hardware, sensing, and ML teams. Develop evaluation pipelines, metrics, and tooling; optimize for real-time embedded compute under SWaP and latency constraints; design for degraded operation, fault detection, and uncertainty-aware decision-making.

Develop, optimize, and maintain mission-critical real-time software for autonomous defense systems using Python, Rust, and C/C++. Integrate with hardware, ensure low-latency embedded performance, apply secure coding, use CI/CD/DevOps, and support automated testing in an agile environment on-site in San Francisco.

Lead architecture, design, implementation, and optimization of mission-critical real-time and embedded software for autonomous defense platforms. Drive performance, security, CI/CD, hardware-software integration, mentor engineers, and ensure reliability and scalability.
