Distributed Sensor Fusion Systems Engineer – Full-Time, Vancouver, BC, Canada

About The Job

The Role

AIM is a deep-tech startup building advanced high-power laser systems to protect people from weaponised drones. We are seeking highly motivated Distributed Sensor Fusion Systems Engineer, experienced in Go (“golang”), and based in Vancouver, BC.

At AIM, you will work closely with our Engineering and R&D teams to design, develop, and improve the distributed sensor fusion systems that supply real-time data to our laser control systems.

The role focuses on distributed systems, sensor fusion, and custom integrations, with an emphasis on practical performance, scalability, and deployment in real-world conditions rather than purely research-based work.

The Commitment

We are looking for candidates who are available immediately on a full-time basis and are able to work effectively in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment.

Compensation is between $80,000 and $135,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, and demonstrated capability.

Due to clearance and security requirements, this role is open to Canadian Citizens only, with the ability to obtain and maintain the required security clearance.

What You’ll Do

• Use Go and other programming languages to develop software for integration of precision sensors and effectors for identification, tracking, and neutralization of drones.
• Use React and other tools to develop a next-generation user interface to our C2, situational awareness, and sensor fusion systems.
• Use logging, metrics, and observability best practices to develop visualizations for real-time feedback and situational awareness.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (software, hardware, and R&D) to integrate with our laser platform.
• Ensure work is delivered to a high standard, meets timelines, and results in production-ready software deliverables
  
  

What You’ll Bring

• At least 5 years of full-time experience as a software developer
• At least 2 years of experience with distributed systems
• At least 2 years of professional, full-time experience with Go
• Experience with sensor fusion and C2 systems preferred
• Experience with user interface development preferred
• Experience with source code control systems (e.g. Git) and collaborative development practices
• Strong time management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks, manage competing deadlines, and adapt to changing requirements
• Attention to detail with an emphasis on ensuring the accuracy of data supplied to systems designed to protect humans
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team
  
  

How You’ll Benefit

• Competitive remuneration aligned with experience and performance
• Extended health benefits
• Flexible working hours to support work-life balance
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects at the forefront of defence technology
• Professional learning and development opportunities, including exposure to advanced sensor, effector, and C2 systems
• A fast-paced, collaborative environment where you can take ownership of meaningful technical challenges and see your work deployed in real-world applications
• A supportive workplace culture that values innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement
