Forward Deployed Software Engineer - Edge Autonomous Systems
Palantir · Washington, D.C. · Onsite
Palantir
Palantir Technologies is a data analytics and software company founded in 2003 by Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, and others, initially built around intelligence and defense work for agencies like the CIA. Its platforms—Gotham, Foundry, Apollo, and the newer AIP—help government and commercial clients integrate sprawling datasets into usable operational tools, competing with the likes of Palo Alto Networks, C3.ai, and traditional government IT contractors, while also encroaching on enterprise data territory held by Snowflake and Databricks. Since its Denver-based IPO in 2020, Palantir has pushed hard into commercial markets, expanding beyond defense and intelligence into healthcare, manufacturing, and supply chain operations.
Gig description
A World-Changing Company Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more. The Role We are seeking a Forward Deployed Software Engineer to join a newly-formed team focused on developing advanced autonomous systems for use on the edge and in austere environments for military and commercial uses. This role involves building, integrating, and deploying state-of-the-art solutions that combine sensors, actuators, unmanned systems, and intelligent decision-making systems to provide remote and autonomous control of individual and swarms of systems. As a part of this team, you will contribute directly to the development and deployment of autonomous systems that integrate sensors (IMU, autopilot, cameras, radars, RF, and other modalities) with continuous and real-time response actuation, path planning, and other kinetic and non-kinetic systems. You will work alongside other experts in sensing, artificial intelligence, and systems engineering to build and deliver solutions that redefine complex real world scenarios.
