Design, execute, and document FAT and SAT procedures for hydrogen production systems. Instrument test setups with electronic loads and DAQ, run performance and endurance tests, perform pressure and leak checks, troubleshoot failures with engineering and quality teams, maintain/calibrate test equipment, support hazard analyses and compliance with ASME, CGA, and NFPA standards, and produce test reports and certificates of conformance.

Lead initial and low-volume production of hydrogen fuel cell powertrains and hydrogen generation systems. Translate designs into repeatable build processes, stand up production infrastructure, hire and manage technicians, drive throughput and continuous improvement, ensure regulatory and safety compliance, and scale production capacity toward higher-rate manufacturing.

Own configuration management for hydrogen generation and fueling systems: maintain BOMs, manage ECR/ECO/ECN change control, administer PLM/PDM systems, ensure revision control and traceability, and coordinate cross-functional teams to transition hardware from prototype to scalable production while meeting cost, quality, schedule, and regulatory requirements.

Perform CFD and analytical aerodynamic analysis for UAS, develop aerodynamic databases and 6-DOF inputs, define and verify aerodynamic requirements, support wind tunnel and flight test activities, collaborate with propulsion/structures/controls for aero-integration, run configuration trade studies, and produce technical reports and design review input to ensure vehicle performance, stability, and control throughout the design lifecycle.

Lead mechanical design, structural analysis, and system integration for UAV airframes and payloads across prototype and production. Drive validation testing, manufacturability, tooling, and cross-functional alignment. Mentor junior engineers, provide technical direction in reviews, and improve processes to ensure performance, reliability, and production readiness.

Develops and deploys machine learning and autonomy capabilities for uncrewed aircraft systems. Responsibilities include perception, tracking, sensor fusion, planning, mission-level decision making, real-time C++ and Python development, GPU and edge-compute optimization, simulation, automated testing, aircraft integration, and flight-test support. The role collaborates with platform, avionics, flight-test, and aircraft engineering teams to deliver reliable autonomy software from development through operational testing.

Maintain IC and federal security customer relationships and provide forecasting and BD strategy.

Lead USN/USMC business development to build and convert pipelines from OTAs and prototypes into programs of record. Shape requirements, engage PEOs and sponsors, map contract vehicles, support capture and proposals, coordinate demos and industry events, and align product, engineering, and program teams to secure sustained Navy and Marine Corps procurements.

Lead design, governance, and delivery of enterprise technical training for Heven Aerotech UAV platforms. Own customer curriculum and Bridge LMS content, standardize instructor delivery, run multi-week training events, translate engineering data into instructional materials, ensure FAA/AS9100/ISO audit readiness, and align training with engineering, regulatory, and flight operations stakeholders.

Perform and support flight tests, demonstrations, and customer training for hydrogen-powered Hybrid VTOL and multirotor UAS. Maintain system health, logbooks, GCS, GSE, and air vehicles; assemble and test hardware; provide operational feedback to engineering; develop test plans and reports; support sustainment-ready military UAS and customer use cases. Travel to test ranges and conduct field deployments as required.

Lead and scale operations for UAV programs including manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, quality, and safety. Ensure regulatory compliance (FAA, export controls), support prototype to production transitions, implement continuous improvement, manage budgets and resources, and build a high-performing operations team aligned with engineering and program management.

Lead design, governance, and delivery of enterprise technical training for Heven Aerotech UAVs. Own customer curriculum and Bridge LMS instance, standardize instructor models, translate engineering data into instructional content, ensure compliance with FAA/AS9100/ISO and ITAR, coordinate multi-week training events, partner with engineering, flight operations, and regulatory stakeholders, and maintain audit-ready training records.

Own and operate the companys ITAR/EAR export compliance program: manage DDTC/BIS license applications, conduct ECCN/CJ determinations, maintain license tracking and TCPs, perform screenings and audits, deliver training, support transactions and M&A due diligence, and serve as primary regulatory contact.

Provide executive support and manage daily office operations including visitor management and ITAR-compliant security protocols, supplies and kitchen management, travel booking, drafting communications, preparing presentations, event coordination, calendar management, and general administrative tasks.

Hands-on role integrating mechanical and electrical UAS subsystems for multirotor platforms. Responsibilities include mounting payloads, wiring avionics, resolving interface conflicts, maintaining integration documentation (ICDs, wiring diagrams, weight budgets), coordinating with vendors/partners, supporting NDAA supply chain compliance, and identifying integration risks with mitigation recommendations.
