About Us

At Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI) , we are a global leader in vehicle automation solutions. Our technology enables safe, efficient, and scalable automation for industries such as solar, agriculture, construction, landscaping, and more. With a commitment to innovation and excellence, ASI continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in autonomous technology. Our Mission is to help you reach your potential through innovative robotic solutions. We pride ourselves in our core values : Safe, Simple, Transparent, Growth, Humble, and Attention to Detail.

About the Role

We are hiring Guidance, Navigation, and Controls (GNC) Engineers across multiple levels (I-V) to join our robotics team. As a GNC Engineer, you will design, implement, and validate control and localization algorithms that power our unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). Your work will include modeling, simulation, tuning, and real-world deployment in cross-disciplinary environments. You will work closely with embedded software engineers, perception experts, and systems teams to deliver reliable autonomous systems. This role includes both simulation-based development and field implementation.

You will directly shape how ASI's autonomous vehicles perform in complex, real-world environments. From tuning controllers on rugged machinery to developing estimation algorithms and deploying systems at customer sites, your work will be essential in ensuring the accuracy, safety, and responsiveness of our robotic platforms. We need engineers who thrive not only in algorithm development but also in real-world deployment and troubleshooting.
