Additional Qualifications
WingXpand is building the next generation of autonomous systems—highly portable robotic platforms that deliver real-time intelligence where it matters most. We are seeking a Senior / Principal Robotics Software Engineer to help design, build, and deploy the autonomy and robotics software that powers these systems. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys seeing their code operate in the real world. You will develop robotics software that runs directly on our robotic platforms and supporting systems, integrating new sensors, building autonomy behaviors, and testing systems in real operational environments. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of hardware, aerospace, and software engineers to bring new capabilities to life—from perception and autonomy to collaborative robotic behaviors across multiple systems. The ideal candidate enjoys both writing robust software and deploying it to real robotic platforms, iterating quickly through testing, field validation, and continuous improvement.
