Responsibilities include collaborating with teams to optimize designs and drive innovations in automation for complex systems.

Develop, integrate, and field autonomy capabilities for novel platforms (space, maritime, unmanned helicopters). Own end-to-end integration from software- and hardware-in-the-loop to live tests, partner with platform and cross-functional teams, support on-site testing, debug hardware/software issues, document designs, and improve integration and testing processes.

Lead development and execution of flight test plans validating autonomy features and integrations. Design operational test scenarios, build analysis and automation tooling, review flight logs/telemetry/rosbags for root-cause, mentor engineers, maintain SOPs, and support flight operations to improve Hivemind platform quality and readiness.

Lead design verification for FPGA/ASIC signal-processing and control systems: plan and build SystemVerilog/UVM/OVM/VHDL self-checking, constrained-random testbenches; develop test plans; collect/analyze coverage; create reusable VIP; lead and mentor DV teams; drive process improvements and execute schedules.

Lead a DevSecOps team to design, implement, and maintain on-premises and cloud infrastructure with a focus on security, CI/CD, automation, containerization, monitoring, troubleshooting, and stakeholder collaboration in a fast-paced defense environment. Requires improving processes, disaster recovery, and ensuring system scalability and reliability.

Join an agile team to design, develop, test, and deploy secure enterprise software. Participate in SAFe ceremonies, apply software engineering principles, build automation scripts, promote code reuse, and support the full lifecycle in secure environments.

The Embedded Systems Emulation Engineer develops modular software applications for emulating cyber-physical systems, analyzing firmware, and ensuring model quality with testing and validation.

Design and automate emulation and simulation models; develop verification environments and test suites for block, chip, and system levels; define verification plans with architects; create tests, assertions, scoreboards, and coverage models; debug testbench and emulation failures; build automation (Makefiles/scripts) and participate in CI, code reviews, and cross-functional collaboration.

Designs and builds cross-team platform capabilities, owns end-to-end architecture and non-functional requirements, guides technical decisions, evaluates build-versus-buy choices, and contributes hands-on code. The role partners with engineering, product, security, customers, and business stakeholders; leads migrations, promotes engineering standards, mentors engineers, and drives adoption of internal platforms. The stack includes TypeScript or Python, Azure, containers, Terraform, relational databases, event-driven systems, and front-end architecture.
