Your mission
- Develop bio-inspired swarm intelligence algorithms for autonomous UAV coordination, inspired by insect colonies, bird flocks, and distributed AI systems
- Design real-time decentralized control strategies for UAVs, enabling autonomous decision-making in contested environments
- Implement multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), flocking behaviors, and self-organizing systems for adaptive UAV swarms
- Optimize collision avoidance, task allocation, and swarm formation strategies under dynamic mission constraints
- Develop AI-powered communication protocols for resilient UAV coordination in GPS-denied and electronic warfare (EW) environments
- Integrate swarm intelligence with sensor fusion, edge computing, and distributed AI models
- Conduct HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) and SIL (Software-in-the-Loop) testing for real-world validation
- Ensure compliance with military and aerospace standards (MIL-STD, ITAR, NATO STANAGs, UAV autonomy regulations)
Your profile
- 5+ years experience in multi-agent systems, swarm robotics, or distributed AI
- Expertise in reinforcement learning, evolutionary algorithms, and decentralized control models
- Proficiency in Python, C++, or Rust, with experience in AI frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, RLlib)
- Strong knowledge of graph-based AI models, flocking algorithms (Boids, Vicsek Model), and adaptive behavior strategies
- Experience with ROS2, DDS, or real-time swarm communication frameworks
- Experience in military UAV swarm applications and counter-swarm strategies
- Background in neuromorphic AI and nature-inspired computation
- Knowledge of quantum swarm optimization and AI-driven emergent behavior modeling
