Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure software (primarily in Go) to manage VMs across global data centers. Collaborate on product requirements, participate in code reviews, optimize performance and reliability, contribute to architecture decisions, and stay current with industry trends.

Lead and grow a team of autonomy engineers to stand up autonomy on novel platforms (space, maritime, rotorcraft), own delivery from design through fielding, write and integrate latency-sensitive autonomy code, coordinate with platform and cross-functional teams, support live tests and deployments, and evolve R&D efforts into longer-term programs.

Lead and grow a small autonomy engineering team to design, integrate, validate, and field autonomy software for launched effects. Own delivery, hiring, mentoring, technical direction, ICDs, pre-deployment validation, live test support, hardware/software debugging, and cross-team collaboration for multi-agent and air-gapped fleet deployments.

Lead and grow a 5–10 engineer autonomy integration team for V-BAT/X-BAT, owning delivery, hiring, mentoring, and technical health. Drive integration of autonomy software (mission behaviors, VTOL transitions, multi-agent coordination), collaborate tightly with aircraft, perception, and capability teams, run ICDs and field tests, and support live exercises and deployments (20–30% travel).

The Data Center Engineer will manage physical servers and network hardware, ensuring their installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, along with overseeing documentation and vendor coordination.

Lead development of AI-assisted reliability tooling, own incident response end-to-end, improve observability and SLO/SLI frameworks, scale single-tenant SaaS operations, mentor engineers, and reduce recurring operational toil through engineering and automation.

Lead long-term strategy and architecture for cloud and on‑prem platform infrastructure, driving Kubernetes and multi‑cloud reliability, IaC/GitOps automation, observability, SLO/SLI/error‑budget practices, incident leadership, AI‑augmented tooling adoption, and mentorship of senior engineers to improve platform resilience and developer experience.

Manage clusters, develop with Golang, provision infrastructure with Terraform, and enhance performance of the platform handling untrusted code.

The Senior Solutions Engineer leads technical sales cycles, designs enterprise storage solutions, and partners with sales to drive customer outcomes and revenue growth.

Design, implement, and maintain scalable hybrid multi-cloud Kubernetes platforms at massive scale. Ensure high reliability, integrate open-source observability tools, provide technical direction, operate large Linux environments across cloud and data centers, handle on-call duties, and mentor junior engineers.

The Senior Infrastructure Engineer will improve system reliability and efficiency, develop standards and tooling, and collaborate with engineering teams to optimize workflows and cloud infrastructure.

The Senior Release Engineer will design and optimize deployment workflows, manage CI/CD systems, and enhance Kubernetes infrastructure while ensuring security and operational excellence.

Lead the Mapping Engineering team as a Staff Software Engineer, focusing on designing scalable distributed backend systems for autonomous vehicle mapping, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and mentoring engineers.

The Senior Site Reliability Engineer will develop and support distributed storage services, ensuring reliability and operational safety, with a focus on automation and efficiency.

Manage a high-performing software engineering team, driving product roadmap and technical direction, while ensuring quality, performance, and innovation.

Lead and manage software and firmware development teams for SCADA and automation solutions in oilfield production, focusing on AI/ML integration and compliance.

Design, implement and maintain large-scale Linux-based Energy Market Management Systems. Automate configurations using Ansible, optimize performance, troubleshoot issues, and support testing.

Design, develop, integrate, and test high-fidelity spacecraft subsystem simulations (docking/6DOF), implement C/C++ and Python components on Linux, integrate HIL and autonomy behaviors, document architecture and tests, and collaborate in Agile teams to verify safety‑critical software.

Provide senior-level Linux system administration and lab operations for HPE HPC & AI performance engineering labs. Tasks include imaging/configuring servers, firmware and switch management, virtualization and high-performance storage (e.g., Lustre), GPU/CPU hardware diagnostics, job-scheduler administration, capacity planning, lab design, and mentoring junior staff while ensuring cybersecurity and operational stability for internal and customer-facing workloads.

The role involves designing and developing flight software for NASA's Lunar Gateway, including systems engineering, software integration, and adherence to software processes.

Own technical readiness and reference architectures for edge-to-cloud industrial data integrations. Define integration patterns, cybersecurity and OT evidence, data quality standards, pre-PoC validation gates, vendor coordination, troubleshooting, documentation, and repeatable implementation templates to reduce one-off deployments and accelerate customer delivery.
