Implement and test C++ changes in detection, tracking, fusion, localization support, data pipelines, or AI/ML-enabled perception workflows.

Work with real and simulated EO/IR, camera, radar, IMU, GPS, or other sensor data to evaluate performance and failure modes.

Build tests, metrics, analysis scripts, and visualizations to make algorithm behavior measurable and repeatable.

Support integration of perception outputs with autonomy behaviors, mission systems, and operator interfaces under defined contracts.

Debug data quality, timing, coordinate frames, software interfaces, and model or algorithm behavior with guidance as needed.

Participate in simulation, lab, and field-test preparation and post-test analysis for assigned work.

Document design assumptions, evaluation results, and issues; collaborate with perception, autonomy, platform, and test teammates.
