Senior Android Engineer

Senior Android Engineer - Aerospace

Energize is partnered with a new startup focused on the application of robotics to the public safety and defense community. Their approach in accessibility is built on three pillars of low-cost, ease-of-use, and open interface design to enable extensibility by third parties.

They are creating a palm-sized, autonomous drone optimized to demonstrate the capabilities of their software stack. The integrated software and hardware solution are key to realizing the full potential of the product in our target markets.

The Role:

We are looking for experienced mobile developers with expertise in building and running Machine Learning frameworks on Android for voice processing or working with robotics systems. You will create and maintain core user interface software that our client’s customers use to pilot and interact with their platforms, particularly through voice-based interfaces. Ideally, you can seamlessly transition between traditional mobile development activities and understanding how to optimize ML models on Android. You will be responsible for designing architecture and user interfaces that infer a pilot's intent in under 250 milliseconds and convert them into actionable commands.

Candidates with ATAK experience are highly desired. We understand this is a niche area, but it will greatly facilitate successful integration into our products.

If you are passionate about developing the "right" system for next-level sUAS autonomy, join us in building a vision of making robots safe, easy, and affordable while performing real tasks for their human counterparts.

You bring:

• 7+ years of experience
• Strong Android development experience with both Java and Kotlin
• 5+ years of experience with ATAK
• Example projects demonstrating Android development and performance ML execution on edge devices
• Excellent skills with build tools like Gradle and a solid understanding of modern, robust software development
• BS in Computer Science or a related technical field

Bonus Qualifications:

• Python experience for setting up training pipelines
• C/C++ experience to enhance performance on mobile
• Expertise in Mavlink and Drones
• Expertise in Speech-to-Text, Text-to-Speech, or Speaker Recognition
• Expertise in Mobile Machine Vision
• Experience with drone systems and flight control, particularly with small uncrewed aerial systems
• An active security clearance (this is not a requirement for the position)
• MS in Computer Science or a related technical field

Process:

• Phone Screen (30 minutes): Learn more about the company and share your experience with us.
• Take-home / Project Review: Complete at your own pace. No trick algorithm questions.
• Hire / No Hire: Based on a video conference review of your solution with an opportunity to ask questions and meet the team.

Benefits:

• Hybrid work environment options
• Stock options plan
• Fully paid medical, dental, and vision benefits options
