Senior Integration Engineer

Location: Austin, TX (Hybrid) Travel: ~15–20% to test ranges, partner facilities, and live exercises Clearance: U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain a security clearance required About NODA NODA is a veteran-owned Series A defense technology company building the orchestration layer for autonomous unmanned systems. Our platform — URZA — coordinates fleets of heterogeneous vehicles across air, sea, and land for defense and intelligence customers. The Integration Engineering team owns the integration layer inside URZA: the framework that lets a new vehicle, a new sensor, or a new third-party autonomy stack become orchestratable. We expect every hire to be mission-driven with strong agency. The Role We are seeking a Senior Integration Engineer to lead driver development and vehicle onboarding inside the URZA integration layer. You will design adapters and translation layers connecting URZA to diverse vehicle control protocols, sensor stacks, and third-party autonomy systems. You will own the work that turns "we got the vehicle delivered" into "we're flying it in URZA in HITL by Friday." This is a software-leaning role with field-validated outputs. Most work is at a desk. A meaningful portion is at the bench or at a range. What you'll do Build vehicle drivers for new aerial, ground, and marine platforms inside the URZA integration layer. Build sensor, payload, and third-party autonomy adapters; translate vendor data into URZA's world model. Own HITL test plans and integration tests; drive new platforms from delivered to URZA-controlled before live test. Partner with vehicle OEMs, sensor providers, and autonomy partners on integration design and debugging. Build shared libraries and scaffolding that compress time-to-integrate; mentor mid-level Integration Engineers. What this role does not own URZA platform development outside the integration layer (Core Engineering); customer-facing engagement delivery (Solution Engineering); field hardware readiness and RPIC coverage (Field Operations); distributed systems runtime architecture (Systems Engineering). Required Qualifications 5+ years of software engineering, with 2+ years on integrations, drivers, middleware, or robotics software. Strong proficiency in Python, C++, or Rust. Hands-on with vehicle control protocols and autopilot software (MAVLink, ROS / ROS2, ArduPilot or PX4); can debug at the message level. Pub-sub middleware fluency and HITL workflow experience. U.S. citizenship; able to obtain a security clearance. Preferred Qualifications Hands-on with autonomous systems or unmanned vehicles (UAS, UGV, USV, UUV). Zenoh or comparable pub-sub middleware (DDS, ROS2 RMW); routing and key-expression depth. Sensor integration depth (LIDAR, cameras, IMUs, GNSS) or autonomy algorithm depth (planning, controls, perception, SLAM). Prior defense, autonomy, or robotics company experience. Active security clearance. Skills & Attributes Strong software engineer first; treats integration as engineering, not scripting. Systems thinker across vehicle, network, middleware, and orchestration layers. Structured debugger across hardware-software boundaries. Documentation-disciplined. Pragmatic with vendor partners; pushes back when partner-side decisions create downstream risk. What We Offer Hybrid work environment Competitive base + equity Flexible time off and generous PTO Federal holidays 401(k) Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits Free One Medical membership Growth Path at NODA Senior Integration Engineer → Staff Integration Engineer → Principal Integration Engineer. Lateral: Engineering Manager (Integration Engineering), Solution Architect, Core Engineering. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
