Account for target motion, vehicle dynamics, obstacles and changing mission conditions. Integrate planning with perception and flight control through ROS 2 and MAVLink. Validate performance through simulation, SITL/HITL, log analysis and flight testing. Extend the planner toward multi-agent coordination, trajectory deconfliction and collision avoidance. Develop cooperative behaviors for formation flight, mission handovers, replanning and recovery when communication is limited. ### Requirements ### What you bring to the team Strong path-planning fundamentals are essential. Experience with swarm autonomy is a plus, not a requirement. Experience with path planning, trajectory optimization, graph search or guidance. Strong implementation skills in C++ or Rust and hands-on experience with ROS 2. A solid understanding of vehicle kinematics, dynamics and constrained planning. Experience with simulation, autonomous vehicles or real-world robotic systems. The drive to take algorithms from the whiteboard through simulation and into real flight.
