About the Role
As a Senior Robotics & Machine Learning Engineer, you will shape the next generation of autonomous ground systems. You will design and implement core components of our end-to-end autonomy stack — from perception and prediction to path planning and vehicle control. Your work enables reliable operation of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in challenging environments, including GNSS-denied areas, off-road terrain, and multi-vehicle convoying.
You will collaborate closely with experts across software, hardware, and mission systems to integrate the right sensors, algorithms, and architectures into robust field-ready platforms. Your contributions directly support Quantum-Systems' mission to set the benchmark for multi-domain autonomous systems.
What is your Day to Day Mission
•Develop perception modules (object detection, tracking, pose estimation) for precise autonomous vehicle behavior.
•Build and integrate the full autonomy stack: perception, prediction, planning, and control for diverse ground platforms.
•Design multi-sensor fusion setups (camera, LiDAR, radar) for resilient operation in all environments.
•Implement high-performance software pipelines for real-time sensor processing.
•Validate autonomy functions using real-world data and advanced simulation.
•Collaborate with mission-control teams (e.g., MOSAIC) and vehicle platform teams to ensure seamless integration.
What you bring to the team
•Strong proficiency in C++ and/or Rust, plus solid Python skills.
•Proven experience deploying ML components in real autonomous or robotics systems.
•Expertise in embedded systems and high-performance robotics software.
•Ability to guide AI-assisted development tools effectively.
•Technical leadership: breaking down complex autonomy challenges into clean, reliable solutions.
•High quality standards: testing, code reviews, CI/CD, documentation.
•Collaborative mindset and confidence in supporting teammates.
•Ownership mentality — driving technology from prototype to deployed capability.
•Comfortable communicating in English in a technical environment.
Your Benefits
•Direct impact: See your contributions rapidly integrated from cutting-edge research into industrialized products, flying in the field within short development cycles.
•Culture & Environment: A dynamic, fast-paced, and collaborative startup environment with flat hierarchies, efficient collaboration, and a strong emphasis on continuous learning opportunities.
•Work-life Balance: Flexible work schedules, and 30 days of paid vacation each year to support your personal and professional life.
•Lunch Benefit: A monthly lunch budget to promote healthy eating and the well-being of employees.
•Health & Wellness: Company-subsidized eGym Wellpass membership, giving access to thousands of gyms and sports facilities.
