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., 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. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [JavaScript?
