Jobs at Tycho.AI

Lead and manage a UAS flight test program: design and execute structured test campaigns, coordinate flight operations and range logistics, mentor test personnel, validate autonomy and aircraft performance with multidisciplinary teams, drive root-cause investigations, and ensure safe execution and operational discipline across developmental and operational test environments.

Design, develop, and optimize onboard and offboard software for unmanned aerial vehicles. Implement and integrate robotics and computer-vision capabilities, write clean C++ and Python code, and contribute to CI/CD, test-driven development, large-scale dataset evaluation, simulation, and integration pipelines to move research into production.

Design and develop electrical board assemblies and RF systems for autonomous air vehicles: component selection, PCB layout, sourcing, programming, test and debug; perform RF link budget and RF chain design; implement encoding and compression methods; conduct field testing of RF components.

Design, integrate, test, and bring up custom multilayer PCBs and electronic systems for autonomous platforms. Tasks include schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, board-level testing, signal integrity and power validation, debugging, documentation, and cross-functional integration from prototype to production.

Design, implement, and validate state estimation and autonomy software for motion planning, trajectory optimization, and flight control; integrate algorithms into real robotic platforms; prototype hardware/software systems and apply state-of-the-art navigation techniques for GPS-denied environments.

Design, implement, and validate perception and autonomy software for computer vision, SLAM, and sensor fusion. Integrate systems onto real platforms, apply state-of-the-art ML techniques (e.g., ViT), and develop real-time multi-threaded systems for challenging sensor environments.

Design, implement, and validate motion planning, trajectory optimization, and flight control software for autonomous vehicles; integrate algorithms onto real platforms, prototype rapidly, and apply state-of-the-art research.

Design and implement C++ and C real-time software for autonomous aerial and ground systems. Integrate ROS2 and STM32 Cube platforms, work on embedded RTOS, maintain build pipelines with CMake, Docker, and GitHub Actions, and collaborate with hardware and autonomy teams to deliver mission-ready autonomy.

Design and implement responsive UI components and interactive prototypes, connect front-end to back-end services, iterate UIs from user testing and customer feedback, and maintain a cohesive component library alongside product and engineering teams.

Designs and runs bench and flight test programs for FPV and autonomous UAS, coordinates with software teams, collects performance data, supports prototyping and test facilities, and serves as safety pilot to ensure compliant, safe operations.
