Your mission

As a Senior Autonomy and Navigation Engineer you own the navigation and autonomy stack that enables NeuralAgent platforms to operate where GNSS cannot be trusted, including denied, jammed, or spoofed environments.

• Design, implement, and field-validate robust state estimation for UxS platforms.
• Architect the onboard autonomy stack, including localization, degraded-mode behaviors, and failsafes
• Lead sensor fusion across IMU, vision, LiDAR/radar, barometric, and opportunistic sources.
• Take prototypes from simulation through HIL to flight test and act as technical lead in test campaigns.
• Support with mentoring less experienced team members and review theses and code in the navigation area.
• Serve as a steady, reliable technical anchor for the team — someone others can count on to help navigate ambiguous or difficult technical challenges to a solid resolution

Your profile

• Masters degree in robotics or aerospace software
• Minimum of 5 years experience in robotics, aerospace software; field-deployed navigation experience;
• Deep state-estimation expertise including EKF/UKF, factor graphs, VIO/SLAM;
• Advanced proficiency in Python, C++ are a must, experience with Rust is highly appreciated
• Hands on experience with ROS 2 and internals of PX4 or ArduPilot
• Real hardware and flight-test experience.
• You are strong team player
• You have first experience in technical leadership
• You are used to work in high pace project mode
• Excellent communication skills in English; German language skills are a plus.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with GNSS spoofing/jamming detection, alternative PNT, terrain- or vision-based georeferencing,
• Experience in defense or safety-critical domain
• Eligibility for security vetting

About us

At NeuralAgent, we are building coordination and AI-Operating layer at edge that orchestrates the autonomous systems and networks across space, air, ground, maritime and underwater domains.

We believe the future will be powered by decentralized intelligence—where autonomous systems collaborate, make decisions and adapt in real time wherever the mission takes place.
