Jobs at HavocAI

Lead design and delivery of end-to-end integrations between C2, communications, and commercial systems. Build backend services, APIs, SDKs, and front-end interfaces. Mentor engineers, shape integration architecture, engage open-source developer community, and own implementation, deployment, validation, and support for production integration solutions.

As an Embedded Perception Engineer, you'll develop perception pipelines for autonomous systems, focusing on vision model development, sensor fusion, and optimization on embedded hardware.

As a Robotics Engineer, you will design and deploy autonomy systems for unmanned ground vehicles, implementing control algorithms, integrating perception pipelines, and ensuring system reliability through field testing and debugging.

Lead full contract lifecycle for government and commercial agreements: draft, negotiate, ensure FAR/DFARS compliance, support proposals, advise program teams, manage records, and improve contract processes.

The Controller manages the accounting function, ensuring compliance, financial reporting, and internal controls while leading a high-performing team. This role requires strategic oversight and expert knowledge in U.S. GAAP and financial systems.

As a Mission Software Engineer, you'll develop and deploy mission-critical software for autonomous systems, engaging with interdisciplinary teams to solve real-world challenges.

Develop, deploy, and own mission-critical autonomy software for maritime systems. Work across networking, autonomy, systems integration, and robotics to build, monitor, and troubleshoot deployed solutions, collaborate with customers and multidisciplinary teams, and scale platform capabilities for operational use.

Lead development and maintenance of low-level embedded control software for uncrewed surface vessels. Design and optimize drivers for CAN and RS485, integrate subsystems, set up HIL test environments, collaborate with hardware and autonomy teams, and produce documentation and test artifacts.

Lead the on-vehicle autonomy team to design, build, integrate, and field autonomy software for autonomous surface vessels. Own navigation, planning, control, behaviors, safety logic, and autonomy execution; drive architecture, testing, simulation, HIL, field deployments, and cross-functional integration while mentoring engineers and ensuring mission-ready, maintainable autonomy systems.

Manage and scale internal IT systems for engineering teams: device deployment and lifecycle across macOS/Linux/Windows, administer Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom, Meraki, Jira; handle onboarding/offboarding, ticket triage, and proactive systems improvements. Provide facilities and operations support for San Diego and Palo Alto offices, coordinate vendors and equipment, and ensure office readiness to minimize friction.

Lead technical direction and execution of autonomy systems for maritime autonomous vehicles. Own architecture and integration across perception, planning, controls, multi-agent coordination, simulation, testing, and field deployment. Mentor senior engineers, drive engineering practices, translate customer needs into requirements, and ensure autonomy capabilities mature from prototype to robust, fielded mission systems.
