  • Develop tactical autonomy software to enable unmanned platforms to perform complex missions across air, land, sea, and space domains with minimal human supervision
  • Implement and test behaviors that enable multi-agent coordination, target engagement, reconnaissance, and survivability in contested scenarios
  • Work throughout the entire of the software development lifecycle, from requirements capture through design, implementation, verification, and validation, utilizing tools and workflows consistent with collaborative high-quality software development
  • Champion a product-line mindset in technology road-mapping and to enable reuse of behaviors across multiple projects and portfolios
  • Utilize your software and systems expertise to architect behaviors as scalable software subsystems, that may interact directly or indirectly with a breadth of system components (e.g., sensor processing, state estimation, peer-to-peer communications, contingency management, actuation, and payload interfacing)
  • Leverage internal product and program-specific engineering teams to rapidly deliver state-of-the-art capabilities to vehicle platforms (whether internally and externally owned), with a clear path towards architecture and capability evolution over time
  • Collaborate with external teams, aligning on interfacing requirements between diverse systems, often working closely with vehicle integration teams and associated operational subject matter experts (e.g., fighter pilots, UAV operators, etc.)

  • Experience with collaborative software development tools for version control, issue tracking, code reviews, and release management
  • Proven ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams, set technical direction, and manage full project lifecycles from concept to deployment
  • Capacity to learn and grow individually, while mentoring junior team members effectively, building team cohesion and capacity
  • Desire to work in a highly collaborative, fast paced, enthusiastic, and mission-centric environment
  • Capacity to act as the technical owner for an entire software system, including stakeholder engagement, requirements definition, roadmap management, team co-ordination, design, implementation, sustainment, and evolution Preferred qualifications:
  • Experience across a breadth of technology readiness levels (TRLs) and demonstration of bridging concepts from research-grade to operationally ready
  • Experience with mission systems integration, and ideally, hands-on experience supporting integration events and/or flight demonstrations
  • Experience across a multitude of application areas, including but not limited to:
  • Collaborative mission planning, behavior planning, synchronized teaming
  • Automated red force vs blue force tactics
  • Motion planning across a variety of vehicle classes, kinematic constraints, and team compositions

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.
