Serve as a technical lead, chief engineer, or senior systems engineer on autonomy-focused development efforts.
Lead system architecture development, interface definition, requirements allocation, and technical baseline management across hardware, software, sensing, communications, and autonomy subsystems.
Conduct and lead technical trade studies, design reviews, risk assessments, and performance analyses to support critical program decisions.
Lead verification, validation, and test activities, including simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL), laboratory integration, and field experimentation.
Guide development of autonomy capabilities including perception, planning, navigation, controls, decision-making, and multi-agent coordination.
Interface directly with government sponsors, performers, and stakeholders to define technical objectives, communicate progress, and shape future program direction.
Mentor junior engineers and researchers in systems engineering, robotics, and autonomy development.
Support proposal development, strategic planning, and business development activities that expand group’s technical portfolio.
