Develop end-to-end algorithms that convert multi-sensor data (LiDAR, EO/IR, IMU) into high-precision 3D maps. Research and implement classical computer vision and modern deep-learning methods, focusing on multi-view geometry, SLAM/SfM, and probabilistic estimation for defense applications.

Develop and optimize algorithms and ML pipelines for detection, classification, segmentation, and scene understanding. Conduct research on classical and deep learning methods, build and evaluate models for complex operational sensor data, and improve model training, optimization, and evaluation.

Lead end-to-end recruitment across Software, Hardware, Product, GTM, Finance, and Executive roles. Partner with hiring managers to define strategies, proactively source and map talent, use AI and data to optimize processes, build pipelines, and deliver excellent candidate experiences from outreach through offer.

Build and lead the companys regulatory compliance function, manage export control licensing (DECA, ITAR, EAR), assess regulatory requirements for market entry, run due diligence and risk assessments, design compliance procedures and training, and support cross-functional business decisions to enable global deployment of technology.
