Partner with autonomy, perception, software, simulation, and field teams to support model training, evaluation, debugging, replay, and deployment workflows.

Leads and develops a perception and machine learning engineering team building computer vision, sensor fusion, tracking, detection, and scene-understanding capabilities for autonomous systems. Owns roadmap planning, technical decisions, delivery, model development and deployment workflows, field readiness, hiring, performance management, and cross-functional execution with autonomy, embedded, data, hardware, product, programs, and field operations teams.

Build realistic simulation environments, tools, and infrastructure for autonomous boats, drones, ground vehicles, and multi-agent systems. Develop configurable scenarios, sensor models, agent behaviors, closed-loop SIL and HIL workflows, replay and regression testing, and automated scenario evaluation. Integrate simulations with autonomy stacks, mission software, command-and-control systems, and data pipelines. Improve simulation scalability, fidelity, debugging, and developer workflows while helping engineering teams reproduce field failures and validate systems before deployment.

Build and operate scalable ML infrastructure for data preparation, model training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and rollback. Develop AWS and Kubernetes platforms, reproducible pipelines, dataset and model versioning, observability, testing, security controls, and self-service tooling. Partner with autonomy, software, data, simulation, and security teams to support cloud-to-edge ML workflows and reliable production deployments.

Plans, executes, and analyzes testing for autonomous surface vessels and integrated autonomy systems. Responsibilities include validating mechanical, electrical, embedded software, sensors, communications, navigation, propulsion, and perception systems; troubleshooting failures; performing root-cause analysis; analyzing telemetry and mission data; preparing test reports; and supporting dockside testing, sea trials, deployments, and maritime field operations.

Plans and executes customer demonstrations and field validation events for autonomous surface vessels. Operates, maintains, troubleshoots, and validates vessel hardware, autonomy software, networking, payloads, and test infrastructure in maritime environments. Collects and analyzes test data, coordinates with engineering and mission teams, supports customer engagements, and prepares systems for deployments. Requires travel up to 50% and comfort operating on or near open water.

Lead the maturation of an unmanned aircraft system from prototype to fieldable production platform. Design and fabricate airframes, mechanisms, mounts, enclosures, and payload interfaces; integrate propulsion, avionics, sensors, communications, and payloads; create CAD designs and drawings; build test fixtures; conduct bench, ground, environmental, and flight testing; diagnose failures; and rapidly redesign hardware based on test results.

Own full-cycle recruiting across technical and non-technical functions, partnering with hiring managers and executives to define needs, source candidates, manage interviews, close hires, and build recruiting processes. Maintain pipelines and candidate data in Ashby, use recruiting metrics and market intelligence, improve candidate experience, and adapt quickly to changing priorities in a high-growth defense technology environment.

Lead the structural design, analysis, testing, configuration management, and production readiness of a military unmanned aircraft system. Transition the prototype to a fieldable LRIP platform through design-for-manufacturability, subsystem integration, supplier coordination, airworthiness documentation, production testing, and flight-test support. Manage engineering schedules, technical reviews, risks, cost estimates, and a small engineering and technician team while coordinating with manufacturing partners and government customers.

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 planning, deployment, and operation of HavocAI ASV platforms and HavocCloud products. Coordinate cross-functional teams, train users, monitor system performance, resolve issues, and translate operational feedback into product improvements. Serve as primary customer contact during field deployments and support mission success for defense customers.

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.

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.

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.
