Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The role involves interfacing with global customers to integrate Raptor software into their systems and characterizing product performance to derive technical requirements. The engineer will also contribute code to the product development team and assist customers with field integration testing on edge compute platforms.
Candidates must have a STEM degree and experience with ISR, UAS, or defense system integrations, along with strong programming skills in C, C++, and Python. Proficiency in low-level Linux, embedded systems, and customer-facing solution design is required.
Vantor is forging the new frontier of spatial intelligence, helping decision makers and operators navigate what’s happening now and shape what’s coming next. Vantor is a place for problem solvers, changemakers, and go-getters—where people are working together to help our customers see the world differently, and in doing so, be seen differently. Come be part of a mission, not just a job, where you can: Shape your own future, build the next big thing, and change the world.
To be eligible for this position, you must be a U.S. Person, defined as a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, Asylee, or Refugee.

Vantor is seeking a Solution Engineer working within our product development team for the Raptor family of products (Guide, Sync, and Ace). Raptor is a vision-based software suite designed to enable Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to navigate and operate in GPS-denied or contested environments. Based in Herndon, VA, this role is focused on advancing Raptor product software by providing direct development contributions as well as working with external customers and Vantor Go-To-Market (GTM) Engineering teams to characterize product performance in the field and capture requirements for product improvements.
The ideal candidate is a mission-oriented software engineer who thrives in fast-paced, customer-facing environments; is energized in the face of problems; and likes to push code. This role is defined as a “solution” engineer because it requires creative thinking, convincing communications, a problem-solving mindset, and a commitment to teamwork. To be successful in this role, a person must think at a systems level, have familiarity with embedded edge platforms, and have experience with sensor data flows, navigation solutions, and mission-critical applications.
As a Solution Engineer, you will participate in systems-level technical and engineering engagements with UAV OEMs, defense integrators, and mission focused customers. Your focus during these sessions will be on evaluating customer adoption of our products and converting customer experiences into tangible technical requirements. On occasion, you may be asked to help customers evaluate, integrate, and deploy our products, system components and early-stage solutions, into a variety of edge compute systems that process positioning and navigation signals. This position is ideal for a technically strong, hands-on engineer who can bridge the gap between software algorithms, OEM systems and field testing, and who thrives in dynamic, cross-functional environments.
The 3D Engineering team at Vantor is a dynamic, results-oriented engineering product development team consisting of subject matter experts (SMEs), software engineers, systems engineers, and solution architects. This Solution Engineer will be a member of this team helping our customers bring our solutions to life in their systems, accelerating customer adoption, and driving real-world impact. Our business is fueled by delivering tangible value to our customers, and we need new team members partner who want to drive making that happen.

Interface with existing Vantor Raptor customers worldwide to coordinate on integration of Raptor software into their systems architecture. Provide advice and guidance based on rigorous product knowledge and institutional experience base from past integrations.
Travel to customer sites to deliver technical product expertise.
Characterize product software performance of customer implementations and derive/capture technical requirements for feature improvements or additions.
Assist customers with field integration testing, including configuration of Jetson and raspberry Pi series companion computers, autopilot stacks (PX4, ArduPilot) and analysis of telemetry, imagery, and positioning data.
Assist in generating engineering technical designs involving the use of satellite imagery and full motion video to accomplish UAS visual positioning, odometry, and navigation.
Develop, document and convey technical and system requirements to product engineering team.
Work within product engineering team development process to make code contributions.
Communicate and collaborate across product, engineering, and GTM/sales teams to define and validate interfaces and data flows between Raptor products and OEM systems.

Experience supporting ISR, UAS, aerospace, or defense system integrations
Strong programming skills in C, C++, Python, shell scripting

Experience in system design across hardware and software
Knowledge of networking and communication protocols (e.g., serial, TCP/IP, Wi-Fi)
Experience in customer-facing roles, support, and solution design
Strong communication skills and sound judgment in customer communication
Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with multimedia frameworks (e.g., FFmpeg, GStreamer)
Experience with GIS systems, use cases, and software tools
Image processing and computer vision
Practical exposure to cameras and optics (e.g., lens models, calibration, distortion)
Understanding of aerial navigation (e.g., filtering, control theory, 3D spatial math)
Experience with UAS/UAV hardware and software (e.g., electromechanics, PX4, ArduPilot)
Experience with embedded Linux / edge compute platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm-based SoCs, Raspberry Pi)
