Our main center of gravity is in the Pittsburgh area and we have teams located in RI and CO.
This position can be hybrid or in-person in our Pittsburgh, PA office.
We're looking for a mid-level Robotics Software Engineer to support full-stack autonomy including perception, localization, navigation and task optimization. You will have the opportunity to work on a diverse set of robotics challenges ranging from control of large construction equipment, drone navigation and planning autonomous jet-ski perception, 3D scene reconstruction, and self-driving off-road vehicles. You will work with a strong team of scientists and engineers to help drive critical architecture decisions within our machine learning and computer vision pipeline.
What You’ll Do
- Design and optimize implementation of cutting-edge localization and path planning systems for off-road vehicles.
- Enhance unified back-end architecture that coordinates tasking for multi-platform autonomy behaviors across a wide variety of UGVs and UAVs
- Simulate scenarios using tools such as Unreal and Gazebo
- Assist in the development and implementation of unit testing of code using simulation tools and actual hardware.
What We’re Looking For
- B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Robotics

- Excellent mathematical reasoning skills, especially with probability
- Experience with unit testing suites such as GTest, CppUnit
- Strong understanding of Agile software development cycle and development methodology
- Some experience with sensor data processing sensor error modeling, environment modeling, and simulation tools
How To Stand Out
- Experience developing robotic algorithms, such as sensor processing and perception, planning, and vehicle control
- Experience with game engines (Unreal, Unity, etc.) and simulation frameworks based on them
- Experience with 3D modeling and animation
- Familiarity or experience with implementing SLAM systems
What Makes Neya Unique
- Solve immediate and pressing real-world problems that advance the state-of-the-art
