Regent Senior Mission Software Engineer at Regent to develop and integrate vehicle-level software for Seaglider. Build software framework and support hardware integration and sea trials.
Responsibilities
We're looking for a Senior Mission Software Engineer to drive development and integration of the Seaglider's vehicle-level software: the system that ties guidance, navigation, control, communications, and health monitoring together. You'll build and integrate the software for our first production Seagliders — spanning multiple avionics units, high-rate control loops, and mission logic — and help take our platform from prototype to production-ready, with major milestones ahead in hardware integration, sea trials, and autonomy.
If you’re energized by working at the intersection of cutting-edge innovation, real-world impact, and hands-on engineering, you’ll be in the right place - and we’d be thrilled to have you on the team!
Build the vehicle software framework: implement and evolve the interfaces between subsystems (perception, controls, UI) and the data flows that tie them together, within the vehicle-level architecture.
Integrate software on real vehicles: hardware bring-up, sensor drivers, and tuning during test campaigns, on both our prototype and production programs.
Build for reliability: telemetry and logging, fault management and fail-safe behavior, test harnesses, and a software update process with rollback.
Support test operations: own the software integration schedule for upcoming tests and debug issues in the field when the clock is running.
Partner with autonomy: define and build the vehicle-side interface the autonomy stack plugs into.
Raise the bar: mentor earlier career engineers and uphold coding guidelines and review practices.
What You'll Bring
Experience developing software for vehicles or robots, ideally in aerospace (avionics, UAV, eVTOL) or automotive (ADAS, autonomous vehicles).
Strong C++ for complex systems: memory management, multi-threading, performance in embedded or near-embedded environments.
Real-time experience (RTOS or real-time frameworks) and software that talks directly to sensors and actuators.
