safety-critical-software jobs in San Diego

Lead the development of autonomy software for advanced sensor systems and uncrewed platforms, integrating hardware and algorithms into robust, real-time fielded solutions. You will architect and implement C++ applications using modern software practices (CI/CD, TDD, open architecture), lead small engineering teams through system development and test cycles, and engage directly with Air Force, Navy, and DARPA customers to shape product direction.…See more The role requires converting higher-level algorithms (MATLAB) into production-grade, multi-threaded C++ for safety-critical, real-time embedded environments, supported by live testing and modeling-and-simulation infrastructure.

As a Mission Software Engineer, you will own software solutions deployed to autonomous systems customers, developing capabilities across networking, autonomy, systems integration, and robotics. You'll troubleshoot live deployments, create performance metrics for debugging, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and end-users to translate operational needs into mission-ready features.…See more The role requires 3+ years of C++, Python, or Rust experience in Linux environments, with a strong engineering background and ability to navigate complex codebases quickly. You must be a U.S. citizen eligible for security clearance and based in or willing to relocate to San Diego.
