About this role

As an Autonomy Engineer at True Anomaly, you will design, build, and deploy core autonomy capabilities, focusing on optimization algorithms for mission planning and resource allocation. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to formalize requirements into mathematical programs and validate your solutions through simulation and operational deployment. This role requires a hands-on approach to developing production-quality implementations while taking ownership of the systems you create.
