As a Senior Software Engineer – Evaluation, you will design and implement systems that measure and monitor the performance of our computer vision, automatic speech recognition (ASR), and small language model (SLM) systems. You will develop evaluation methodologies, benchmarking pipelines, and monitoring tools that ensure our AI systems perform reliably in real-world environments. You will help establish the evaluation standards and performance benchmarks that guide the develo

As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer (Autonomy), you will develop and deploy onboard autonomy capabilities that power our FlightStack system. Working on edge compute systems in non-network-connected environments, you will design and implement robotic functions that enable reliable perception, localization, path planning, and contextual understanding in real-world conditions. You will work closely with machine learning engineers and autonomy engineers to integrate perception

As a Senior Software Engineer - Infrastructure, you will design, build, and operate scalable, cost-efficient cloud infrastructure that powers our machine learning workloads, data systems, and production services. You will help ensure our platform is reliable, performant, and easy for engineers to deploy and operate as we scale. You will work closely with engineering teams to design and scale infrastructure that supports AI workloads and help bring AI-powered aviation tools to

As a Technical Program Manager, you will help translate company strategy into coordinated execution across the engineering organization. Working closely with the CTO, you will help plan, prioritize, and track engineering initiatives to ensure teams are aligned, dependencies are managed, and projects deliver on schedule. You will collaborate across software engineering, machine learning, infrastructure, and flight operations teams to coordinate complex technical work and ensur

How did you get into AI/ML/Computer Vision? It's a total cliche, but I got really interested in re-CAPTCHA as a high school student. I thought both the whole concept of CAPTCHAs as a mechanism for validating human-ness and the fact that there were people out there that could program a computer to read obfuscated text super cool. Why did you decide to work in Aerospace? After my PhD, rather than staying in a research role, I was looking to do applied AI work. The aerospace dom

We welcome Jose Medina to the VTI Engineering team as the latest software engineer focusing on FlightStack development! Can you tell us a little about your background and how you got into engineering? I started my career at Boeing over 8 years ago as a mechanical engineer. Over the years, I was able to work on engineering teams in all sorts of airplane systems from flight controls, mission systems, advanced cargo tracking systems and flight automation, among others. I loved w

Earlier this month, members of the VTI Aerospace team came together in Colorado for some focused collaboration, strategy, and flight planning. The purpose? To align in advance of our upcoming presence at one of the world’s largest aviation gatherings, EAA AirVenture 2025 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. With team members spread across the country, opportunities to connect face-to-face are important and impactful. Colorado served as the perfect backdrop for high-altitude thinking and lo

VTI is thrilled to welcome our newest engineer, and first engineer dedicated to frontend development, Chase Fielder. Get to know a bit about Chase in this Q&A What inspired you to pursue a career in this field? I grew up building and flying radio controlled aircraft with my grandfather. Since middle school, I’ve been designing and building my own RC aircraft, and planned to go to school for aerospace engineering. I caught the computer science bug while in university, and thou

Back in high school, I had a history class assignment to speak with a WWII veteran. The gentleman that I met had piloted cargo aircraft from various Pacific Northwest locations to bases on the Aleutian Islands - often at night and always off the coast of Alaska. He recounted a navigational approach that involved holding an altitude and adjusting his heading based on radio directions from ground tracking stations. About as simple as it gets! But needless to say, he put full fa

Last week, VTI enjoyed the opportunity to share the company’s development progress at an FAA AI Safety Assurance Technical Exchange hosted by MITRE. In our presentation we covered not only how our technology could improve situational awareness for current pilots, but we also discussed the scalability of our development philosophy. Some common questions arose during and after our presentation, so we thought we’d continue the conversation here by responding to the most common t
