Engineer II, Software - Perception (SD/DC/Bos) - New Grad - 6139

What you'll do

• 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.
