We're hiring!

We are working on a project called ALIAS for DARPA developing software to make helicopters fly semi- or fully autonomously. We have several opening for perception, planning, database, 3D/GUI, test and infrastructure. We're working on C/C++ on Linux and VxWorks. The team is in Stratford, CT.

It's exciting stuff with a great team and a truly exceptional leader. We're working under the Sikorsky Innovations program modeled after Skunk Works. We get to move quickly and try lots of new things. Our team has our own custom helicopter called SARA (Sikorsky Autonomy Research Aircraft), which we recently tests flown by non-pilot reporters from Wired [0] and The Verge [1].

You can get in touch with me directly. Include HN in the subject line.
