Senior Software Engineer, Motion Planning

About the Role:

Wing is looking for a Senior Motion Planning Software Engineer to join our Pathfinder team. This role will be based remotely in the US. 

We are looking for Engineers with Software Engineering and Path Planning experience to contribute to the development and continuous improvement of a system that safely flies thousands of autonomous aircraft every day around the world. Developing and fielding this kind of large-scale production path planning system is a challenge that you find both humbling and exciting. You enjoy developing systems from concept through production, and you have an eye for crafting practical solutions that run reliably on real-world systems. You will work in a multidisciplinary environment with direct access to our guidance, navigation, and control engineers and backend engineers.

What You’ll Do: 

• Create innovative and reliable aircraft path planning solutions that enable new capabilities for our fleet of autonomous aircraft.
• Build the testing and analysis infrastructure required to validate these solutions and continuously monitor their performance.
• Have ownership and cognisance of path planning systems throughout the entire life-cycle: concept, design, implementation, lab and flight testing and evaluation, fielding, and support.
• Work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure high level performance goals are met and business objectives are achieved.
• Participate in the team's processes, including: requirements and design documentation, test-plan generation and execution, peer design and code reviews, and process feedback and improvements.

What You’ll Need: 

• MS degree or equivalent practical experience in Aerospace, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field.
• Strong C++ implementation experience.
• Working knowledge of kinematics and equations of motion.
• 8 years of experience working with Path planning and/or Guidance, Navigation, and Control technology for aerial or ground vehicles.
• Experience in modeling and simulation.
