ABOUT NODA

NODA is a veteran-owned, venture-backed defense technology company building the orchestration layer for autonomous unmanned systems. Our platform coordinates fleets of heterogeneous vehicles across air, sea, and land for defense and intelligence customers. We expect every hire to be mission-driven with strong agency.

NODA Recon Works imagines the future of autonomous warfare, then builds it. We are a small team of multidisciplinary technical experts that scouts, analyzes, prototypes, and delivers de-risked technologies to integrate into our products or become new ones altogether.

Engineers wanted for challenging journey. Fast pace, uncertain requirements, imaginative leaps expected, path to production sometimes doubtful. Defense of the free world in case of success.

THE ROLE

As Senior Multidisciplinary Engineer - Recon Works, you are a broad technical expert that has experience in and curiosity for multiple engineering disciplines. You are passionate about emerging technology as is or could be applied to defense and thinking holistically about how to bring it all together. Imagination, creativity, and comfort with ambiguity are more important than recall of systematized knowledge.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Scout emerging technologies and recommend if/how to include them into future concepts or products

- Conduct buy/build/partner assessments for promising technologies that enable heterogeneous autonomy orchestration

- Generate new ideas (and the plans to test them) that challenge the status quo

- Create prototyping plans to de-risk the most critical unanswered questions about applying a technology to the orchestration problem

- Execute developmental prototyping projects and oversee technical progress

- Create and manage research relationships with academic institutions

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Bachelor's degree in a STEM field

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Graduate degree in a STEM field

- Demonstrated experience with both execution and leadership of complex projects

- Existing TS/SCI clearance

SKILLS & ATTRIBUTES

- Imagination and creativity: you view engineering as a creative act, not only as a set of deterministic procedures to make scientific knowledge useful; imagination is more important than knowledge

- Comfort with ambiguity: you develop and test directionally correct ideas but you are willing to be wrong and abandon when the technical feasibility or market does not support them

- High agency: you are motivated to ideate but also create the structure to implement without being told exactly what to do or how

- Technical credibility: you have worked in multiple technical domains, are comfortable moving across them, and curious to learn new ones

- Communication: you are equally comfortable speaking to operators and technical experts

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
