Lead autonomous flight navigation at Ribbit using production C++ and advanced path planning in a remote role with field-test support.

As a Senior Navigation Engineer, you will lead the navigation stack for mission planning, trajectory generation, and flight-controller guidance targets. You will shape architecture, maintain code quality, and collaborate across state estimation, controls, interfaces, and flight-test teams. The work supports autonomous airplanes and requires hands-on software development.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead mission and flight planning architecture and roadmap
- Develop trajectories and guidance targets for aircraft
- Write production C++ and review complex changes
- Support flight trials and analyze recorded flight data




- Mentor engineers and represent navigation in design reviews

Requirements:

- Degree in engineering, computer science, robotics, or related field
- Navigation, flight management, or guidance software experience
- Contemporary C++17/20 development on Linux
- Three-dimensional path and trajectory planning experience
- Simulation and recorded flight-data testing experience

Shape autonomous aircraft navigation through C++, trajectory planning, flight testing, and cross-functional technical leadership at Ribbit.
