Autonomy Engineer

We’re looking for an interdisciplinary engineer and researcher to lead the development of autonomy and intelligence for the DARPA MASH (Medics Autonomously Stopping Hemorrhage) https://www.darpa.mil/research/programs/medics-autonomously-stopping-hemorrhage program. The goal of MASH is to enable autonomous robotic systems to rapidly control internal bleeding in environments where immediate access to expert surgical care is impossible.

This role sits at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, simulation, and medical imaging. You will work across the full stack of autonomy—from perception and scene understanding to planning, control, and deployment on real robotic systems. You will leverage large-scale datasets to train and evaluate deep learning models that enable robots to understand anatomy, reason about intervention strategies, and safely operate a robot in highly constrained human vasculatures. This role is primarily focused on machine learning, but is interdisciplinary and will also involve simulation, medical imaging, and robotics.
