Job Description Job Description LI-DNI Robotics Engineer Baton
Rouge, LA What we do Integer Technologies is an applied research
and product development company founded by scientists and engineers
with a passion for protecting freedom with innovation. We perform
R&D on next-generation systems and technologies for the
Department of Defense and other U.S. Government agencies. We are
hardware and software developers with experience transforming
research into fieldable technology. Our core portfolio of research
includes projects in power & energy systems, unmanned systems (with
an emphasis on maritime systems), digital engineering, cyber
security, and advanced manufacturing. Our mission is to create a
safer world by translating scientific discoveries into reliable
products that address urgent national security needs at the speed
of relevance. Company Benefits Base salaries which exceed local &
national industry averages. Year-end performance-based bonuses.
401(k) with company matching that vest immediately. Integer fully
covers medical, prescription, vision, and dental insurance costs
for the employee and dependents, meaning the Integer standard plan
pays 100% of health insurance premiums for your entire family from
a well-known national insurer, saving its employees thousands of
dollars annually. Relocation assistance available. Paid vacation,
sick/personal leave, and holidays. Paid bereavement and parental
leave. Hybrid schedule: Mondays and Fridays are optional to work
from home or in the office. Company Perks Startup culture with the
stability of a large company. Integer's business plan has years of
time phased contracted work, alleviating the would-be risk from a
traditional small company. Direct access to company leadership,
prioritization of people over process, and a stellar team with a
shared desire for personal and professional growth. Friendly
atmosphere where people enjoy not only their work and what they're
creating but enjoy helping each other as well. Bottomless Coffee!
About the Role Integer Technologies is seeking an Autonomy Engineer
to support the design, development, and deployment of advanced
autonomy software on maritime robotic platforms. This role involves
end-to-end contributions across the autonomy stack-including
perception, mapping, localization, and control-tailored for
real-world performance in constrained and uncertain environments.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in sensor fusion,
state estimation, and real-time robotics software development, with
hands-on experience in both simulation and field testing.
Candidates must be U.S. citizens, eligible for a DoD security
clearance, and capable of working across multidisciplinary teams to
deliver scalable, maintainable, and mission-ready systems.
Experience in maritime autonomy, multi-agent coordination, and
distributed systems is highly desirable. Primary Responsibilities
Autonomous Systems Integration Deploy autonomy algorithms across
the full software stack-including perception, localization,
mapping, and control-in simulation and on physical robotic
platforms. Sensor Fusion & State Estimation Work with sensors and
sensor data (e.g., GPS, IMU, LiDAR, sonar, cameras) to help improve
navigation and situational awareness using techniques like Kalman
Filters or particle filters. Probabilistic Decision-Making &
Autonomy Behavior Implement and tune probabilistic reasoning
methods to support autonomous behavior selection in partially
observable environments. Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) &
Simulation-Based Testing Set up and use HIL environments and
high-fidelity simulations to evaluate autonomy algorithms and
ensure real-world readiness under varied operational scenarios and
failure modes. Experimental Validation & Demonstration Execute
field tests and simulations to validate autonomy behavior and
system performance, using the results to refine system design.
Documentation & Technical Communication Develop clear, concise
technical documentation, including interface specifications,
deployment guides, and post-test analysis reporting. Required
Qualifications Must be a U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain a
US DoD Secret clearance. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer
Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering
or a related technical field; advanced degrees preferred. 2 years
of professional experience developing, deploying, or integrating
autonomy software and hardware systems. Must have experience in the
implementation of autonomy algorithms for perception, mapping,
localization, and/or control. Integrate sensors (e.g., GPS, IMU,
camera, LiDAR, sonar) for robust sensor fusion and situational
awareness. Strong proficiency in modern programming languages
(e.g., C++, Python) and experience with middleware such as DDS,
MQTT, Zenoh, ROS, or other real-time communication frameworks.
Familiarity with sensor fusion and state estimation techniques such
as particle filters and Extended Kalman Filters with practical
experience applying these methods to real-world robotic navigation
and localization problems. Deep understanding of autonomy
frameworks, decision-making algorithms, and real-time system
constraints in distributed, multi-agent environments. Comfortable
working in both field test environments and simulation
environments; experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing is
advantageous. Excellent collaboration and communication skills,
with the ability to interface across multidisciplinary teams and
external partners. Additional Desired Qualifications Experience
developing autonomy software for maritime, aerospace, or ground
robotics systems operating in GPS-denied or
communications-constrained environments. Experience defining
requirements for robotics systems. Experience using Robot Operating
System (ROS/ROS2). Knowledge of control theory and vehicle
kinematics/dynamics Knowledge of distributed systems, multi-agent
coordination, or swarm autonomy concepts. Hands-on experience with
containerized deployment (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) on embedded or
ruggedized platforms. Active Secret or higher DoD security
clearance.
