From Beacon AI's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
We’re a fast-moving team of aviators, engineers, and operators building an AI platform to make flying safer, more efficient, and more capable. Backed by top investors, we’ve secured a dozen Department of Defense contracts and partnered with major airlines to deliver mission-critical systems. We operate without silos or heavy processes. Small, focused teams own what they build, ship quickly, and learn fast, pushing the boundaries of how humans and AI work together in aviation.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Software Engineer to help design and build the advanced pilot assistance software that supports our flight safety platform. In this role, you will develop and deploy autonomy, robotics, and embedded systems that operate in real-world, safety-critical aviation environments. You will contribute hands-on across the stack, working closely with senior engineers to deliver reliable systems that support time-sensitive decision-making for human operators.
2+ years of experience designing or building robotic software and/or embedded systems, or equivalent experience through projects, internships, or coursework.
Experience writing production-quality code in C++ and/or Python.
Familiarity with real-time or interactive systems that support users making time-sensitive decisions.
Exposure to autonomy-related systems such as planning, decision-making, or reasoning, and working with sensor or perception pipelines.
Some experience working with embedded or edge compute platforms and debugging hardware/software interactions.
Ability to learn quickly and contribute effectively in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
Bonus Points
Experience working on safety-critical or mission-critical systems, including aviation or robotics domains.
Exposure to robot operating systems or middleware such as ROS or DDS.
Interest in human-in-the-loop systems, simulation environments, or real-time control systems.
Background or strong interest in autonomy, robotics, or advanced mobility.
Work Location
This is a hybrid role based in San Carlos, CA, with 3+ days per week onsite and the option to work remotely on remaining days.
