Path Planning & Swarm Autonomy Engineer (m/f/d)

About this role

You will develop the path-planning capabilities of our interceptor, turning mission objectives and estimated vehicle and target states into feasible trajectories. Building on this foundation, you will extend the system toward multi-agent autonomy, enabling multiple interceptors to coordinate and adapt even without a continuous ground connection. You will implement the system in ROS 2 and work closely with perception, flight control, communications and our Mosaic ground-control system.

What is your Day to Day Mission: Develop path-planning and trajectory-generation algorithms for a single interceptor. Account for target motion, vehicle dynamics, obstacles and changing mission conditions. Integrate planning with perception and flight control through ROS 2 and MAVLink. Validate performance through simulation, SITL/HITL, log analysis and flight testing. Extend the planner toward multi-agent coordination, trajectory deconfliction and collision avoidance.

Develop cooperative behaviors for formation flight, mission handovers, replanning and recovery when communication is limited.
