I will repeat these benchmarks on my iPhone 6 when I get home tonight...but in the meantime, the benchmark numbers in this article look almost exactly like the ones I had as a result of battery throttling. I bet the actual patch-related performance hit is pretty minor.

Aurora Flight Sciences | Experienced C++ and Embedded Software Engineer | Boston (Cambridge) | Onsite | http://www.aurora.aero/

Aurora Flight Sciences is an established aerospace R&D company with a start-up feel and 80 engineers at our Boston R&D center. We invent and build advanced aircraft of all sizes, with particular focus on flight autonomy. Our current projects include small quad autonomy, flying car (eVTOL), solar aircraft, advanced high-speed VTOL plane, robotic copilot, and many others. We build complete flight software stacks, from low level flight controls through high-level autonomy and sensor fusion algorithms.

We are looking for experienced software engineers to help us turn cutting edge ideas into prototypes at our Cambridge R&D office. Most of our early prototype work is in C++ and Python, while more mature and safety-critical projects use a mix of C++ and Simulink/Stateflow with an in-house toolchain. We use both ROS and DDS, and target both x86 and embedded ARM platforms running either a lightweight OS or bare metal on custom boards. Our fast prototype projects are run on GitLab, while safety-critical projects use heavy-weight auditable tools: DOORS, SVN, Trac, Collaborator, and Jenkins.

If you want your work to be in next generation of flying vehicles, if you are passionate about flight, and if you know how to design and implement clean, real-time and highly reliable/resilient software for embedded platforms, please send me an email at [email protected], or apply via the web site to one of our open positions.
