Autonomy Software Engineer
Barron Associates is at the forefront of applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to safety-critical real-world problems. Modern deep-learning methods are capable of remarkable performance, but in applications where safety is paramount and failure rates of 10-9 are expected, these systems still fall short. We are developing novel AI/ML methods for systems that demand extremely high reliability and accuracy, from autonomous air vehicles to personalized pharmaceutical dosing.
Barron fosters an engaging and collegial environment, with plenty of guidance, mentoring, and collaboration among peers. We expect top performance from our employees and believe this is best achieved with a healthy work-life balance and engaging research tasks. With diverse application areas in aerospace and biomedical research, we offer continual opportunities to learn and to expand your professional skills. We also empower all employees to identify important new research questions and to pursue their own unique research interests.
