Original job description

Description

Are you passionate about robotics, autonomous systems, and advanced mission capabilities?

Do you enjoy leading multidisciplinary teams through the development, integration, and transition of complex autonomous systems?

Are you interested in shaping the future of robotics and autonomy for critical national security missions?

The Tailored Autonomous Systems Group (QPJ) is seeking a Senior Robotics & Autonomous Systems Engineer to provide technical leadership for the design, development, integration, testing, and deployment of advanced robotic and autonomous systems. Our team develops low-size, weight, and power (SWaP) robotic platforms and autonomy solutions that operate in challenging and dynamic environments.

As a senior member of the team, you will serve as a technical leader across multiple projects, working closely with sponsors, engineers, and researchers to define system architectures, guide technical execution, and transition advanced capabilities into operational use. You will help shape the strategic direction of QPJ’s robotics and autonomy portfolio while contributing directly to the nation's most challenging mission problems.

As a Senior Robotics & Autonomous Systems Engineer, you will...

Lead multidisciplinary engineering teams through system architecture, requirements development, integration, test, and transition activities for advanced autonomous systems.
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.
